5th Avenue memories... My mother reaches in her pocket and reads "Fifth Avenue", but it is not her usual candy bar, instead inside this wrapper is a box and in opening the box there was a ring and my dad asked my mother to marry him. My dad explained he wanted my mom to remember that day, so he associated the candy bar with the street where he proposed. My dad still gives my mother a Fifth Avenue every year for their anniversary, so she knows he remembers and loves that day and so that she can remember the moment, too. Annie from Ohio I remember when my sister and I used to sneak out of bed in the middle of the night just to eat these. My mom used to only let us eat one bar each, but we always wanted more! My sister and I would wait until our mom finally went to sleep, and then we would sneak down the stairs together. My sister would help me onto the counter so I could reach the cupboard where the candy was. We would each grab a bar, and then sneak upstairs to eat it in our beds. Being children, we didn't bother to throw out the wrappers. We would simply stuff them under the mattress. One day, after my mom changed the sheets, she came down with all of the wrappers! I guess she finally found out where all of the candy was going! ~ Becky from Connecticut |
