It's nice to know they have ice cold drinks inside, but it must have been a real bummer to have to jab an ice pick into it. I do wonder how many hit the bottle followed by their thigh? But it looks like they are having a good time doing it.

I learned trivia on this one. That in these depression years, candy was nutritious, or at least the packaging claimed that. Hershey bars would say its a good source of nutrition. And that Baby Ruth bar on the far left top shelf in the cabinet, says it is a good source of energy. Then goes on to convince people that it has Dextrose, a good source of quick energy... It's sugar, always was and still is. But weirdly leaves out the protein in the nuts. Which is weird. That's what they should be pushing here. That's what makes it healthy.

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
