To those grandchildren of Orpah and Knute think back to days spent in Newton. I’m sure that you all remember the times when Grandpa would go over to the corner grocery store….wasn’t it called Barker’s or was it just owned by the Barker family? At any rate Grandpa would come back with a brown paper sack filled with what he called ALL DAY SUCKERS….those round, sphere shaped colorful lollipops! My choices were always the same….the black (licorice) and the brown (rootbeer) flavored suckers. I remember that we carried around small glasses full of water and that we dipped our suckers in the water before licking them. Yum! With all of the treats we are spoiled with today, I doubt that ALL DAY SUCKERS would be as highly anticipated and appreciated today as they were in the 50’s and 60’s.
So…how long did those ALL DAY suckers last?!!
