I liked the cherry pies, but even better was the Lemon Creme Pies from Jack in the Crack. Especially good at 2 am after a night of partying.

Bugles are still widely available, aren't they (haven't had any in years but it seems to me I still see them in stores)?

No idea, again, I suspect with this one, the memory is better than retro-reality.

Yes, Bugels are still available. The boy puts them on his fingers and eats them off.

That was part of the fun for me!

Last time I had bugles my fingers wouldn't fit in them.

If you wet the bed it is considered rude for people to point at you and laugh.

That comes back around once you pass 70 or so.

And I suppose you might eventually be able to get those bugles on your fingers again in the nursing home. Whether you can digest them is another story.

Leave it to you to count them all.
