There's a little too much specialness going on in this one. Reading that from a modern perspective it seems super creepy.

I'm having horrible thoughts about poor Molly getting murdered on the way home form the 7-11, her special 7-11 envelope torn open and lying empty at her side. :(

This just makes me sad - that we don't live in a world like that anymore. :(

I used to have to do that! Wasn't a 7-11, but the little convenience store a couple blocks away. :-) And it was fun, because I could get my beloved candy cigarettes.

Oh man, I loved candy cigarettes.

[maz-z.livejournal.com]

I still love candy cigarettes. At least when I can find them. Agh, so good...

[misstia]

sometimes when i find them they are labeled as 'candy sticks'....but there's still some makers who make them as 'candy cigarettes' with the red tipped end....

I have NEVER seen a white guy work the counter at 7-11, this is a first!

Damn, you beat me to the punch ONCE AGAIN!!

So what they're saying is:

if you don't trust your child to bring all the change home and not spend it on candy, send her to 7 Eleven and we'll seal it in an envelope so you know she's been truthful.

Great.

Good God, but times have changed!

Considering the massive gold ring he has on his finger, that man owns that 7-11 store.

"Thank you - Come again!"

You've gotta remember, back in 1966 it was difficult to find a store that was open past 5:00 or 6:00 PM. Having a store actually stay open until 11:00 PM meant you could get important staples for your family, like milk, eggs, toilet paper... (Oh, all right... beer, cigarettes, and Thunderbird!)
