re: What are favorite snacks Grandparents gave you as a kid?

My grandparents would pick me up in Green Bay and head to Chicago to see my aunt and uncle and a cousin that I really liked for a long weekend a couple times a year.

I’d hop in the back seat and there’d be a mini cooler with a six pack of dads root beer. Then a bag of Doritos and some cookies my grandma made.

On the way back we made a burger and frozen custard stop north of Milwaukee.

8 year old me thought those road trips to the big city were the best thing on earth.

My other grandma was a shockingly bad cook for someone who grew fairly poor and had 5 kids. But they had a mini dirt bike I could ride in a big field next to their house, so I let the crappy cooking slide.
