When the paper in spiral bound note books was sturdy, thick and heavy--not like the thinner stuff that's in them today. I actually still have a few of those notebooks and am amazed at the thickness of the paper in them. And the covers were a sturdy cardboard.

When you could buy a clip board made of pressed wood and a heavy metal clip to hold the paper in place.

I remember shoestring cherry licorice and it seems to me it came in black too and it definitely predates red vines. I also remember penny candy. Of course I was just a wee bab...

Three ring note binders made of a heavy, non-plastic material and covered with a heavy, durable cloth sealed to the covers. I saw one at an auction today. I also saw pink, plastic flamingos made in the USA. (They went for outrageous prices--4 different people were bidding on them.

When sweet and sugary was a big selling point with foods. Nowadays, it's trendy to downplay the amount of sugar in something. (And smart eating to avoid high sugar products.)
