It's been over 60 years but I don't think they ever had fast food back 
then. They specialized in pecans and had just the nuts, shelled or 
unshelled, but had a lot of nut based candies that I would consider sickly 
sweet these days. That's in keeping with southern tastes. They favor sweet 
tea that a hummingbird would consider overkill.

They also had novelty gifts. I remember one was a small box labeled Pecans 
that had two miniature milk cans when you opened it. The humor is obscure 
unless you understand the difference between the northern and southern 
pronunciations.

On the '50s and into the '60s it was a different world south of the Mason 
Dixon line. When we visited my brother at Huntsville AL in '58 it was 
still segregated. Wernher von Braun and his crew must have found it 
ironical.
