Post with 10 notes

MY first memory was a family trip to Hilton Head, North Carolina when I was 2, so 1985-6

Specifically, this narrow storefront with a brick front and a striped pink/white awning, and a door on the left a half-floor of steps up from street level

And when you went in some kind of cafe with a curved glass display case running the depth of the room, with workers on the right (non/door side)

And there was a box of something in the case with the Ralston-Purina checkerboard logo on it and I was like “that’s pet food!”

And looking it up this was probably the 80s merger-mania period when R-P had just acquired Continental Baking

and all the adults laughed but also nodded at my connection-making, and within the year my mom realized I had taught myself to read when I started quoting the “more flavor!” blurbs off a Rice-a-Roni box in the supermarket

so point being, I’ve always been like this
