| Try to remember
simpler times. Back when supermarkets rarely had more than ten aisles
and checkout clerks had arms like stevedores from manually pulling
groceries past the register with a sliding wooden frame. Soft drinks
weren't yet a food group then - and people would've laughed at the
thought of paying for water. So sip your diet cherry vanilla Dr Pepper
(a real product by the way) and try to think back to simpler times.
It's hard, but maybe these photos will help... |
