One size fits all clothes for kids- even bby stretchies need to fit just so these days. We got hand me downs from my aunt and there was no such a thing as not fitting. So the skirt was either an inch under the knee or 5 inches. Tee shirts were always baggy anyways. And like my father always says when we reminisce, "...and we were happy!"

I'm sorry but one size does NOT fit all. (Yes, we had those shirts too. They looked ok on some kids and awful on others.)

Anyone remember a candy that was a hard candy but kind of chewy that had three different color triangular “sections” in it, maybe a red, an orange, a yellow, and white in between them and white around??

Omg yes! How did you remember those?
I was not such a sweet tooth child but those were so good! They looked like hard sucking candy, each individually wrapped in clear wrap. But the sections were not really triangles? I think more like irregular shapes?

Yes. I never ate them but remember seeing them. I think people called them fake meat candy? Because they looked a little bit like pieces of steak

Nougat rolls

Oh I miss these! I missed them enough to even try a copycat recipe. It wasn't quite as good as the real thing but it was enough to scratch the itch a bit!

What were those tiered skirts from Israel called? There were copies but if you were really cool then somebody brought it back from Israel for you.
