    God, I am old!! I lived through all of that, including Buster Brown
    shoes (Not sure if they were available on the other side of the
    world)... Oh and don't forget the little 6oz I think milk containers at school!

    Welcome to the club, here in NZ we didn't get the 6oz milk containers but I do recall after school drinks at home with milk and a flavoring called Quic. There was chocolate, banana and strawberry flavors.

    I may shift this thread over to FSX_GEN now. so will cross pot it there.

    With all of the science going into athletic nutritional supplements, it
    was interesting seeing bike racers drinking whole milk with Carnation
    Instant Breakfast mixed in.

    Carnation Instant Breakfast was this concoction from when I was growing
    up that was a mixture of sugar, protein, chocolate flavoring and
    vitamins. Circa 1977.

    I grew up with it also, I used to like the Vanilla flavored ones.. Hmm i got the taste for it now.. LOL

    ... "I am" is the shortest sentence in English. Is 'I do' the longest?
