I never liked the sound of cards (certainly not my beloved baseball cards!) in spokes, and who eats a sugar sandwich? I guess it’s not much different than cinnamon toast.

Along with the candy cigarettes, probably responsible for me having the thickest file at my dentist's office.

Never baseball cards, big brother would kill you. You filched playing cards from mom's deck. She'd just threaten to kill you.

Never did sugar sandwiches. We did used to cover our french toast with sugar instead of syrup, though.
