I got to see it when it came through through Orlando, Fla in December 1976. It was a rolling museum full of artifacts of the first 200 years of history. I probably didn't enjoy it as much at 16 then as I would now.
April 10th 1970. I was just shy of 10 years old. I remember this clearly. My parents went on first vacation alone and left me and my kid brother with a sister. I had 3 sisters all 10 to 18 years older than me and an older brother who was 16 years older.
So the night before a hurricane blew through Orlando Fl. I went outside in the morning and as usual trash and paper every where from storm.
I looked at headline of front paper laying on ground and it said, Beatles break up, I then promptly stepped on a bee. My sister heard my screams and came running.
When I remember this it is just like it happened yesterday. It is vivid. I even remember the smells that morning. This memory hits me out of the blue. I woke up at 2 ish am to use the bathroom and this was in my head. It may be a month or years before I remember again.

1977 - Wore the grooves out on this one!
For generations of music fans, Columbia House was almost as much a part of buying music as the record store itself. Founded in 1955 as the Columbia Record Club, the mail-order service delivered everything from vinyl records and 8-tracks to cassettes and CDs right to your mailbox. Its legendary offers—eventually including deals like “12 CDs for a penny”—helped make Columbia House a pop-culture institution. At its peak in 1996, the club reportedly had around 16 million members and generated roughly $1.4 billion in annual revenue.
Now that era is officially coming to an end. Columbia House has announced that it will stop accepting new orders after September 15, 2026, closing the book on a remarkable 71-year run. The company struggled as digital downloads and streaming replaced physical media, even filing for bankruptcy in 2015 before continuing as a much smaller seller of movies and other media. For anyone who remembers filling out those little order cards and waiting for a box of music to arrive in the mail, the end of Columbia House feels like another piece of our childhood disappearing

I ordered some from Amazon last year. Very disappointed. Flavor and crunch different. My dad loved these and would order all the time and local delivery to door. Late 60's to early 70's we got them at least 2x a month. Delivery like that was a newer experience that is now the norm. They still sell them at Cracker Barrel also.
Tasted same coming up as it did going down. Make sure to eat half a pizza for ultimate vomiting experience.
