Hi Lisbeth! A memory from my childhood years is eating Dilly Bars from Dairy Queen. I still enjoy one once in a while for the memory!

I like Dilly Bars, too, but the Buster Bar is my favorite! Thanks for sharing!

College “meals” were free vibrantly-colored burnt sienna hot wings at the bar happy hour, and when not out partying at said bar, home eating lukewarm packets of ramen. Many many packets.

When working on my second degree, my cheap eating habits consisted of the following. Buying Tang instead of orange juice, and fixing a large batch of rice to mix with in various sauces and fresh vegetables. Also, my favorite protein was corned beef brisket. I would buy 1/4 of a pound of it to last the entire week.

I remember Tang! We pretended to be astronauts when we drank it.

I had to google space sticks. Wikipedia describes them as the forerunner of energy bars.
