      cujoedaman Nothing that comes in plastic packets in a box is fresh, either. What I go by is “Beware of anything in the middle of the store.” All the fresh fruits, meats, dairy (if you eat it) vegetables, and (sometimes) breads, are around the perimeter. Of course, there are some things in the middle aisles which are nutritious but “fresh,” not so much.

Second of all, I remember when I was 2, probably younger, I remember diapers, bottles, my dad leaving, my mom struggling, my sister in and all her glory feeding me while I lay in my playpen unable to stand without holding onto the sides lol all of it. I don’t think it’s rare at all, my sister and my children are all the same way. That being said thank you for even thinking I’m not old enough. I absolutely am. Maybe , idk, think I’ll change my photo today, see if you all think the same thing! Thank you for the sideways complement 😂

    A message to Daves Archives: I had just subscribed to your channel because I love watching the retro commercials. Even though I wasn't born during the 70s, I revel in watching the commercials of the years from before I was born. Plus, any CZcams videos that feature commercials from before the year 2000 are videos that I have a tendency to enjoy watching the most, plus, I also enjoy the nostalgia factor as well. Thank you Dave for having such an awesome channel, I only wish I discovered it sooner than I originally did
