Re: I have a question
According to Wikipedia the Twinkie was invented in April of 1930... coincidence? I think not!

Re: I have a question
Most people were not as tall in the past as they are now. The first Texas Penitentiary built in Huntsville Texas in 1849 (The Walls Unit) has some of the original building inside the walls. The cells were open to the outside with no protection from the elements. The cell doors and bed are only about 5 foot long.

interesting read and yea twinkies and TV dinners didnt help much haha. I also think more people in the cities VS farming where sure you ate lard and bacon every day but you worked your ass off in the fields every day.

Re: I have a question
Have you seen 'Driving Miss Daisy'? The old lady rides in the back seat of a sedan, rumble seat of a coupe or roadster, and in the back end of a truck.
Preferably with a hydraulic dump. Hope this helps. Best Regards, Stew

Re: I have a question
I'm at Disney World with my daughter. My question is: does anybody in the USA weigh less than 300 pounds, and why is everybody eating ice cream (actually only those who need two seats to fit). Oh, oh, I'm not being PC.

Re: I have a question
My dad was 5'6"
I am 5'9" 2 of my sons are over 6' On the other hand, 3 in the cab of my AA when I was a teenager was no big deal. Nowadays 2 is a tight fit in my pickup. I think that having been left outside these 85 years, it has done some serious shrinking.

Re: I have a question
Yes, it is a commonly known fact that (generally) people were noticeably smaller that today. And so were the garages of 1930.
There were a couple of exceptions - in the 1920's and early '30s, the Cell Phones were considerably larger than the ones of today ! |

Re: I have a question
If you had collected WW1 and WW2 uniforms and militaria like I did for many years, you would have soon noticed how small men were then-the vast majority of uniforms that were actually worn seem to be size 36 and 38-anything larger than a size 42 is rare. Size 42 was also the largest US government-made off-the-rack uniform coat during the Civil War (they came in four sizes).

Re: I have a question
George Washington was 6'2", Abe Lincoln was 6'4", both towered over a diminutive 5'10" Henry Ford!

Re: I have a question
The older I get the shorter I get. Two inchs in the last five years and still weigh the same. Makes getting in the A easier.
