I remember when:

CANDY USED TO TASTE GOOD... (Before recipes were changed)
LIPTON ICED TEA WAS THE BEST (Before they added an ARTIFICAL SWEETENER for no blasted reason)
QUALITY WAS MUCH BETTER
FOOD TASTED MUCH BETTER


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh the memories

Doesn't that not happen now on KV without the Anthem?lol. I also remember on Wednesday nights we could stay up to watch the original Avengers(Diana Rigg) and have chips from the old chip van.
