i remember paying 80 cents a pack in the service but more important is that the other day i tried a analog after a month and it was horrible it really made me feel sick
I love gits. And fried chicken. And corn bread. Some people I've talked to think hush puppies are southern I always thought they were just coastal (having eaten my first one either in Northern Minnesota near Lake Superior like, almost to Canada or in New Hampshire) but they're awesome too. Not really a fan of gravy, but that's mostly a texture thing. A little brown gravy on mashed potatoes is good as long as they still feel like potatoes.
Mostly, I just don't like sweet tea or southern preparation of vegetables you know, cooked to death so they barely have cell walls left and taste like nothing either go all the way and make Indian curry or just flash them with high heat and leave them crispy. And I still prefer Pepsi to Coke but I'm convinced that's really just a matter of which objectively disgusting aftertaste you got used to as a kid.

The first time I was invited to my in-laws house for Thanksgiving dinner, I found out they don't use gravy.
I was speechless. I thought I had just stumbled into the Twilight Zone. Or maybe hell.
I said there is no freaking way I am having Thanksgiving dinner without gravy.
Gotta have gravy. Gotta have lots of gravy. Lots and lots.
So I brought my own.
I can remember going to get my folks cig's. No one even raised a eyebrow as I bought them from the machine. I got a shinny new penny in the bottom of the pack wraper. The machines didn't give change back then they put it in the packs. WOW I'm getting old!!!!
@mostapha-
Ok if you're a Pepsi fan, we'll be friends. LOL
Now here's a story goes way back.
My grandpa had a farm & his man was called "Beecher". Beecher rolled his own cigs I was about 5 yo & I thought Beecher was real cool with his little tiny white drawstring bag full of backy. I had only seen store bought pre-rolled cigs back then. Well grandpa & Beecher took me into town in the pickup & bought me a pair of overalls like Beecher's. (course they were little overalls) Then They took some change ( probably a nickel or two) & put it into that little white drawstring bag (empties of backy) & showed me how to keep it in the zipper pocket on the top bib part of those overalls just like where Beecher kept his backy.
I was havin me some fun. LOL
vape on

My wife had frequently tried to quit smoking before we discovered e-cigs. When she smoked an analog, she'd put it out while there was still about 1/8" of tobacco left. When Quit Day came, I wasn't allowed to empty out the ashtrays because she would rummage through the butts for a couple days, looking for those that still had a couple of puffs left in them.
Ahh, analog memories.... I remember when I was 13 yrs old I could go to the corner store and buy a pack of cigs and tell them they were for my mom. No questions asked. Luckily that was just a summer of experimenting and I didn't continue. Later once I got out of highschool (Class of "81 Rules), lol, my first job was at a marine insurance office. I walked in and there were cubicals all over the place with just huge plumes of smoke hanging in the air. Everyone smoked. Of course, then eventually I started smoking. And even if someone didn't smoke, they would be courteous enough to have an ashtray on their desk for the rest of us that did. LOL. And as a kid every household had one of those big ceramic ashtrays on their coffee table. You know, the kind that usually had blotches of colors in the paint that everyone made in a ceramic class somewhere. Even households that didn't have smokers had to have a ceramic ashtray or they just were NOT cool. Wow, what a difference it is nowadays.
I remember being so skintight and stressed digging in my ash try for three quarter smoked cigs to get the rem ending tobacco to put in a rizzler skin/paper and smoke without a filter... Horrid and trampy but yes.... I did that haha
No gravy! That's just plain un-American!
Oh, how I wish I didn't like potatoes and gravy so much!
That's what I thought too! I couldn't believe my ears.
So I'm all, what do you eat your potatoes with?
And she's all, we eat candied yams and I'm all like WTF?
So then I says, "what do you eat your turkey with" and she goes "cranberry sauce".
And I'm thinking, what is this, France?
I remember when i could buy a pack of smokes ( Newports ) for a buck and quarter. A quarter cheaper than my school lunch. So i through a little debbie snack cake in too
I am shamed to say, but I remember being regularly low on cash and rolling butts to keep me going to next pay day. Yes, it's disgusting, I have no pride when retelling this.
I actually hate thanksgiving food. I eat sweet potatoes, but that's about it. Turkey doesn't taste like anything, stuffing tastes like bad bread, cranberry sauce is disgusting………etc.. It might be because of bad memories, but I also just hate thanksgiving food. Hate it. It's disgusting. If I ever have to go anywhere but home, I usually eat mcdonalds in the car on the way over and fake a stomach bug.
I honestly prefer unflavored tofu to thanksgiving food.
Sweet.

Heh…creative. That would have made a lot of high school more interesting: smokes and no lunch.
Here is a really strange one? I still own the first tobacco I ever smoked. (insert EWWW comments here). My family had no smokers, yet when I was born, my dad apparently (I found out ten years later) bought some ceegars to pass out upon my birth. This was long before they marketed the "It's a Boy/Girl" birth cigars. Being an inquisitive geek, I found one, and it seemed like a good idea to try it. I was a farmer kid, out behind the barn was the logical place. I tried it, I hated it. I hid it in my hollow book/safe (because Illya Kuraykin was the cool one on U.N.C.L.E.)
Recently I was moving old stuff, and I found it. I have no interest in smoking it, but I think I will keep it.

Yeah, the corner stores (bodegas) in upper manhattan haven't quite gotten the "health regulation" memo and something tells me that if they did the owners might suddenly become illiterate ;-)
You're among friends here, compadre. We understand.
I recall moments of shortage of funds, of buying a can of rolling tobacco and rolling papers. Only by the fact I bought both saved me from the suspicions of a cashier that I was intending to roll joints.
