[quote=Anonymous]I am the youngest in a large family. We didn't have a lot of money growing up (but we had what we needed.) I guess we didn't have enough mugs/glasses or something because we grew up eating root beer floats in bowls. When I was 16 my first job was at McDonald's where they had a Coke float promotion with glasses you could keep. That was when I realized floats in bowls isn't quite normal. I forgot all about it until a few years later when my SIL asked me how I consume root beer floats. I didn't eat them at all but knew why she was asking and got a good laugh because I had completely forgotten about that.

Every now and then my siblings and I will reminisce about the strange food we ate growing up...a hazard of having parents who were teenagers when they started a family. My mom sometimes served potato salad with spam as an entree. Nothing else, just that. Or banana boats...bananas wrapped in foil with chocolate chips and marshmallows and put in the fireplace for a while to melt everything. Lots of really bad food habits had to be unlearned as I navigated my way through adulthood. We also had a garden and ate vegetables, but we really had an alarming amount of crap in our diet.[/quote]
