@relentless-red saidImpossible with the forum being split Europe and North America the way it is, plus snickers will just win again anyway 😁

Was this year's chocolate bar tournament cancelled for COVID?
The only way to sort this is to play the legends versus the youngsters.

@kevin-eleven saidI’d care if 30 years ago they were getting 20 bars and I’m only getting 4 an hour for the same job 😡
Who cares about wages when we're being paid in candy?

@very-rusty saidI've retired from working hard. Tried it, wasn't for me. How was your coffee?
People 30 years ago worked a lot harder than you do! 😛 😉

@ponderable saidWhen I was a kid a candy bar was 25 cents and a 2 liter soda was about 2 dollars.
And how did wages develop in the same time?
Now a candy bar and a 2 liter are about the same price.

@trev33 saidMe, too. And in China the "lying flat" lifestyle has also emerged. These people have the right idea.

@the-gravedigger saidI hitch hiked across Canada once with no money.
Hitch hiked her way across the USA
I had to steal food 😩
One time way up north I was in the middle of nowhere so I had to walk 40 kilometers!
When I got to the next town I couldn't stop walking...my body just kept walking!
I had to fall down to stop.
An old couple saw me laying next to the road and asked me if I needed help.
They gave me a ride in their pick up truck and I was so tired I fell asleep instantly and hit my head off the dashboard.
The wife wanted to take me home and help me regain my strength but the husband said no.
At a later date I saw an entire mountain side on fire at night. It was incredible.
I almost got run over by a moose too 😳
They are huge!
One guy picked me up and said hitch hiking is dangerous and how do I know he isn't a killer?
I said..."how do you know I'm not the killer?"
I'll never forget that look on his face 😄

@great-big-stees saidThe Jujube's of that time would pull the fillings out of your teeth, they had to reformulate them and softened them up in the 70's. I lost a couple fillings because of them.
Then (the early 50s...1950s 👍) I remember spending a nickel and getting a grab bag full of “Jaw Breakers” and “Blackballs”, both of which, I’m sure were invented and peddled, wholesale, by dentists. I haven’t seen either of them in decades.😥😲
