Once upon a time ...


... THESE left a really bad taste in my mouth ...
I was little. I was hungry. We were on vacation and it was dinnertime. I BEGGED for this snack in a hotel bakery. My mom TOLD me I wouldn't like it. Tho' neither of us really realized how nasty it would be. Made w/ coffee. Wet, drippy ground-like coffee. Probably cost $7.50 in today's dollars. Wet coffee mess DRIPPED from my mouth and down my chin on the first bite. Mom didn't like it either.
But, today ...


... I might like an Opera Bar MORE than THIS movie. Just wasn't good. Or funny. Or worth any amount CLOSE to $6.50. The boys didn't hate it. Full-size Snicker bars and $4.00 Dr. Pepper can cloud one's judgment.
