  1. Also, when I was young there was a freddie Freihofer TV show..

    Freddie freihofer, we think you’re swell
    Freddie freihofer we love the stories you tell.

    I can’t remember any more of the words.

  2. Thanks Slopefarm fromt the animal intruder literature recommendation.

    Regarding ICE cream, what I used to love in my early childhood was Good Humor toasted almond, nice and sugary coating, just the way I liked it.

    In my teenage years, I loved Chocolate Mint with green ice cream or white ice cream.

    Then Breyers Vanilla. Or Swiss Vanilla with chocolate coated almonds.

    Then Haggen Daz Coffee Ice Cream (great)

    Then Starbucks coffee mocha chip but you can only eat this once a year otherwise you will be a blimp.

    Regarding Entemanns, I remember in the ’80s, supposedly the Moonies were going to buy them. It was a rumor, never happened, because so many Moonies worked in the Queens factory. I thought I might have to stop eating Entemanns.
    In my parents house every day for the last couple of decades, they have an Entemann’s coffee crumb cake. Hmmm…

  3. Yeah, the freihofer man had one of those change things. I was in awe of it.

    But, more importantly, he came up to the porch with what looked like, to me, a gigantic fold out tool box, like 6′ long. It looked like one of those tool box with the cantelevered sections and must have held 20-30 boxes of cookies and cupcakes and everything.

  4. “half the time I was just staring at the
    change maker that he had on the side of
    his belt. It was filled with rolls of shiny
    quarters and dimes.”

    Those change makers WERE cool, something about the stainless steel and how it reminded me a little of a bandoleer.
