I can remember Fisk tires.

Firecrackers that were loud enough to be heard a mile away and when sktrockets were sized by the pound. Everything from 1/4 pounders up to 5 pounders the big kids got to light.

When you could actually share a 5 cent candy bar with 2 friends and each got a piece bigger than today's $1 candy bars.

I am so old I remember what it is like to be approached by a man, talked to and asked out on a date by him using his voice and speaking real words, no typing on the cell phone involved.

I remember Fisk tires or at least the signs for them. So many 5 cent items that were larger than those selling for $.75 or $1.00 now days.
