I would literally go on TV in Mexico City Monday through Friday or whatever it was and announce the winning lotto numbers.
(Unless you, like me, have been allergic to peanut butter and now just stare longingly.)Possessing a pack of Nabs isn't a telltale sign of anything except immediate hunger.
Nabs are what you eat when you're kind of hungry, but not enough to eat an actual meal.In other words, they're acceptable to have when you're fixin' to eat and they won't ruin your dinner like candy or potato chips—or so says my mother.Lance, Tom's, Keebler, and Kellogg's Austin brand might be the top purveyors of peanut butter crackers, but they are all called Nabs too.. Nabs are what you eat when you're kind of hungry, but not enough to eat an actual meal.. My hometown, Winston-Salem, has a very complicated relationship with Nabs, specifically Nabisco.
In 1986 R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (maker of Camel and Newport cigarettes) and Nabisco joined to create RJR Nabisco.The company headquarters were moved from the Camel City to Atlanta, taking thousands of jobs with it.
The city became a shell of itself and in many respects, is still trying to recover from that loss.
Many millennials and Gen-Xers around my age remember taking field trips to Whitaker Park to watch cigarettes getting rolled, manufactured, and packaged.By 1949, Minute Rice had launched its first national ad campaign, securing the title of "the first precooked rice" in the minds of the American people..
Increased industrialization, a new fascination with technology, and that famed ad campaign helped Minute Rice's popularity soar among housewives and working mothers of the '50s and '60s.Much like my busy parents in the 90's, and parents everywhere now, these ladies were.
Mothers who were working to provide for their households still took on the responsibility of getting everyone fed.It makes sense as to why its foothold in the Midwest was and is so strong, especially on Black families' pantry shelves.
