They figured that any city that would go for mass fluoridation would be likely to swallow Banana Waftins.<BR/><BR/>After wafting through the troposphere faster than the speed of yell (thus the name), there wasn't much flavor left, and milk made 'em soggy, so they never made it out of the shadows of obscurity, leaving it to Sealtest to break through 15 years later with their "Cornflakes and Strawberries" cereal.<BR/><BR/>The Old Man had BWs on his shopping list for a trip to the IGA in 1948, but they never hit the shelves. The Old Man , who was young then, decided never to believe in anything or trust anyone ever again and became the Old Man shortly thereafter. <BR/><BR/>Moral: Stick with oatmeal and quitcher silly dreamin'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25695637.post-1156830166730688012006-08-29T01:42:00.000-04:002006-08-29T01:42:00.000-04:00If I know the Old Man, his use of the wool swabs w...If I know the Old Man, his use of the wool swabs will probably seriously inconvenience somebody.
