Whoa, now!  Wait a minute....  All of these "classic" items are still alive 
and well in my nape of the woods...i mean neck of the wape...I mean "around 
here".  So is Celery filled to bursting with Peanut Butter.  It's an old 
holdover from my Cherokee Grandmother as far as my family is concerned, so it 
HAS to date from the 50's at least.  I'll see if I can locate a U.S.D.A. 
School nutrition guide from that era, and see if it is featured.  Just in 
case, you may want to start salting up that fedora.  The future of your 
fedora is beginning to look very bleak indeed...:)
