Use to get it at the Pak-a-sack out of a barrel on the front porch and take it home and daddy would take his pocket knife and cut it up for us kids. My time flies. You can get it at the farmers market some times. It was a time and what a time it was

Yes indeed my grandfather would bring it to us and cut it up and we'd happily
chew away! Times were really much simpler then...I sure miss my grandfather and the innocence of childhood!

Well Anime it is about time for you to try it. Be sure and brush your teeth after you chew on it for a while it has lots of sugar.

Yes many times. anyone ever hoed cotton too. I agree it was a much simpler time. We never went to Wal-mart and brought toys like they do now. Had picnics under a tree in the front yard.

I can remember picnics under the trees at my grandparent's place and they had a couple of Tonka trucks for the boys to play with. My grandmother also kept a big tin full of buttons and some needles and thread. We would string buttons for hours and then start over again.

Compare that to World of Warcraft, PSP, and iPods....
