This was so not my experience...my mom would bring treats in her bag😪
We didn't have bulk candy like that in our grocery stores but we had a bulk candy store in the mall and it was VERY expensive. Like four or five individual Haribo peaches would be a dollar (in 1989!)...forget about anything caramel or chocolate, we couldn't afford it. So my friends and I would walk to grocery stores or dollar shops to get candy to sneak into the theater.0 -

We never got theatre candy because it was too expensive. The bulk candy bins at the store were super cheap and we had a penny candy store which was just tons of bulk bins!
Mom also would pop 2 bags of popcorn and put under the front of her jacket pretending she was just pregnant 😅1 -

We get McDonalds occasionally when on a road trip or busy weekends with the kids, although mine prefer other FF joints. I usually go for a McDouble or Grilled chicken in those instances. However, any time I return from international trips, especially if I fly through O'Hare as I often do, I stop at McDonalds and get a 6 pack of chicken nuggets with honey, small fries and a fountain diet coke. It tastes like my American childhood.2 -
This was my thing...I loved that stupid thing!1 -

Does anyone remember "icebox Napoleon" type desserts? Mostly graham crackers & pudding, layered together & refrigerated or frozen...I barely remember this but I really liked it!

I can't resist McDonald's when I go through O'Hare. That good nostalgic smells just waft through the terminal. Fortunately, I don't fly often, but I almost always connect in O'Hare so I gotta get me some McDonalds.1 -
Here's another place we didn't go to often, but when we did---THE ANSWER WAS YES!
Jack in The Box menu from the 60's:
What Jack in The box looked like in the late 60's early 1970's

I love roadtrips because we stop at McDonald's early in the morning for hashbrowns, mcmuffins and coffee lol0 -
Did anyone do A&W drive in meals? The servers were all on rollerskates.4 -
