Cow Tale memories... I have a unique
memory of caramel cow tails from when I was a child. It is a bit
ridiculous, but I was a bit gullible. My grandpa told me about a
delicious candy called cow tails. We lived on a farm so I thought we
had plenty of those. I asked my grandpa if I could have one. He told
me to go and get one for myself. He said those cow's tails had a
fine, yummy powder on them. I thought I would go try it. I went out
to one of our cows and tried licking the powder off it's tai! After
all we did get the milk from those cows! Well I must have frightened
that cow when I pulled on her tail because she kicked me right in
the eye. I was a pitiful sight. My grandpa and my parents felt
really sorry for me because it was their fault for telling me that.
They had no idea I would be dumb enough to believe it even though I
was only five years old. So, they gave me a real caramel cow tail! I
have always loved them. It made me feel better at a time when I
thought I was really stupid for believing such a thing existed. I
can't find them in any store now days. ~ Becky from Texas
I grew up in the middle of
rural Iowa, we were miles from anywhere. So when we got to go to
town it was really a big treat. I remember going out in the cow
pasture to met my grandfather on the way back from his daily walks.
I think he must have been 8 feet tall, anyway that's the way I
remember.
When he was feeling good, and
in a good mood, he would lean down and ask me if I had been a good
girl that day. of course I always was good!!! Then he would give me
a cow tale stick, or if he had none he would give me a few pennies
to save for the next time that I got to go to town. I would be so
rich that I could buy my own cow tales. They were always so sweet
and creamy in my mouth. Sometimes I would even give my grandfather a
little piece. I sure loved those cow tales, and this candy always
brings back warm loving memories. Thank you!! ~ Lousena from Texas
I grew up really enjoying
this candy in the late 70's early 80's as it brings back wonderful
memories. I attended kindergarten through 2nd grade at a very small
private school about 4 blocks from my grandma's house. My grandma
would walk me to and from school everyday and we would always enjoy
a cow tail for what seemed like longest walk back then. ~
