I sure miss one of the candy bars, a 7-up bar.

I just love your childhood stories. I'm not sure I ever drank a Grapette, but after reading your description, I'm sure wanting one now. Your picture of the gas pumps is great! How neat that it had that sign on the window. When you stop to think about it, Camden was a really small town to have a pottery-making business and a soft-drink inventor!

Toler's had wood floors, lights hanging from wires, and those big old "coke" boxes at the front. We'd go in, get Mrs. Toler to fix us baloney sandwiches (which she'd charge to my grandparents), grab a Grapette on the way out...<br /><br />Good stuf.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06584588658233756298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460394485823751681.post-27990032587746164952010-03-20T11:55:33.834-05:002010-03-20T11:55:33.834-05:00I agree, I always thought that Grapette was the be...I agree, I always thought that Grapette was the best Grape drink out there.
