REvisiting Your Childhood

I dunno, fam. I honestly question whether things are that much worse now...or if now we just have access to so much more information and can SEE so much more of the fuck shit. If you put a gun to my head, I'd say today isn't any crazier than 20 years ago. In terms of the dangers that come along with the concept of a candy lady, anyway.

I think shit is way worse now than back then. Even the worst mf'ers didn't bother the old lady selling candy, now these dudes don't give a fuck.

to sum this up...
Life with out social media and life with social media..shit was dangerous but less social there wasnt "footage" like it is now. We were also more naive to what innocence was opposed to the kids coming up now.

yall both know good and well that mrs or mr xyz had the block watch window on lock, wasnt nothing going down funny in the neighborhood concerning the Icee lady..bc EVERYONE know xyz was on the porch watching everything doint the nondescrpit porch sweep lol

Around my way, it wasn't so much that the neighbors had everything on lock. It was more that the candy lady was like the Sunday truce on The Wire - candy lady was SACRED, my nigga. Everybody knew the candy lady, her house, in front of her house, etc, was all off limits for the neighborhood bullshit. A nigga would punch you in the face for stressing out the candy lady!

Agree 100% with the rest of the shit.

Maybe in some of the hoods. But for the most part they gone. You think about it most of the candy lady I knew, knew parents and the kids as a youngin you went over there with respect like it was your own home. Now you had them knuckleheads that tried her and she ban em or either get her oldest son that seemed like he never went to work and didn't do nothing but sit at the house all day come and try to scare you

This was our meet up spot before we hit the neighborhood.

"Yo meet me at the green generator"....."Aight, bet"

This was apart of our childhood. The green generator was like our time clock before we hit the streets.
 
Just play this song and tell me it don't make you cry....



Like 889,464,564 memories overloaded my brain at one time.


Like as soon as it came on I got anxiety and wanted to run to the TV cuz I thought I heard somebody say "it's starting!!"

The first version of Mystic was carbonated. I started copping 'em my senior year in '90. The store about two blocks away from the Hardee's I worked at was the first place I saw 'em at and the only place I could get 'em until the end of that summer.

One time I walked up in the spot to cop a bottle after getting off work and I cracked it open before leaving. I walk out tipping it back and Ferndale cops walked past me going in the store, stopped me like "Hey... Is that a cooler? Are you even 21? Lemme see some ID". I turned around and had to explain it to 'em that it was carbonated juice, showed 'em the bottle and everything. At the time wine coolers came in very similar bottles so it was understandable. Cop was like he was ready to have me pour it out on the curb and cite the store for selling to a minor.

From elementary school days, remember running home to watch cartoons like Ducktales, Darkwing Duck and Talespin. Remember the first Arizona Ice Teas in the clear glass bottle? We didnt have to leave our neighborhood, we had the candy lady, some selling dinners on the 1st and 15th. We had this Italian lady selling meatball heros, lasagna and other stuff. Puerto Rican lady downstairs from her selling Icees, frozen cups, chili roos or whatever your area calls them. Get you a chopped bbq sammich from 3-4 houses too...lol

That was the best version of Mistic especially the peach flavored one. I used to crush them every time I could get one. Mistic fucked going away from that because they had that market sowed up. They've been the same since they went away from that.

Thats not the orginal Mistic with carbonation but the bottles were similar to wine coolers
