I saved bread bags all the time when we lived in Mass. — When the kids went out to play in the snow it went thus — long socks - bread bags - another pair of long socks - boots - snow pants — etc. — their feet/legs stayed nice and dry and you just peeled off the layers on the doorstep until you got to the bread bags and then dragged the kids inside :)
Keith is waiting to just grow up.
Sad to see he's still some relevant.
The LeftistSocialistMarxistDemocrats...protect their own.
1957 The first baggies and sandwich bags on a roll are introduced.
1958 Poly dry cleaning bags compete with traditional brown paper.
1966 Plastic bag use in bread packaging takes over 25 to 30 percent of the market.
1966 Plastic produce bags on a roll are introduced in grocery stores.
Keith has women issues
Keith went to an affiliated state college at Cornell, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (average SAT: about that of pulling guards at the University of South Carolina; acceptance rate: 1 of every 1.01 applicants).
Olbermann's incessant lying about having an "Ivy League education" when he went to the non-Ivy League ag school at Cornell would be like a graduate of the Yale locksmithing school boasting about being a "Yale man." "
That is why I had never heard of them. I can count on one hand the number of big snows we had from 1950-62. Now ice was another story. We had a picture of my oldest niece being held by someone in front of a tree covered in ice. Think that was winter of 50/51. The biggest snow we had was about 58/59.
Firmly middle class upbringing in 1970s New Jersey, wearing bread bags on our feet, albeit only inside our boots. And it wasn't just my family, everyone did it.
You see, most of us middle class kids in my neighborhood were raised by parents who grew up in working class families during the depression and/or WWII and they were practical and no frills in many ways. If putting bread bags on your feet meant you could slip into boots that were a little snug so new ones weren't needed, perfect.
I suppose if I grew up with a silver spoon like Olberman I'd have never seen a bread bag, much less worn one.
