Payday memories...
When my sister and I were growing up there were many things that we couldn't eat because of food allergies. Peanuts was one of them, or so I thought. My sister couldn't eat them so it was assumed that neither could I since we were so alike. When I was 20 years old I had allergy tests and found out I was NOT allergic to peanuts after all. I made a bee-line to the neighborhood store to have my very first candy bar. I picked out the one with the very most peanuts imaginable. Of course it was a Payday. I have been trying to catch up for years! There is nothing like your first candy bar and I still cannot get enough of them! ~ Stephanie from Alabama I remember as a child every afternoon, after my daddy got off work he would walk down to the small store down the road. Mother would always send me to tell him supper was ready. I still remember the store. It's name was Jot Um Down and it had a sawdust floor. Daddy would always give me money for candy. And I remember getting the PayDay candy bars. I loved to eat the peanuts off first then eat the center. That was back in the fifties, times sure have changed but some of the candy still remains the same. I am still a PayDay lover. ~ Bonnie from Georgia My favorite was Payday. As a kid I would walk with my grandfather to the neighborhood store and buy a Payday, a coke, and some baseball cards. Still a kid in college, it was my lunch everyday as I studied in the aerospace engineering classrooms. It's perfect blend of salt and sugar, not to mention the best looking wrapper, and it still appeals to me today. I do not remember just how old I was but sometime during my youth I bought a t-shirt with the Payday logo across the front. I know I wore that shirt out. ~ Barry from Alabama |
