Loved them as a kid in NY, and even into adulthood. I used to eat each part separately, biting off the chocolate first, then gulping down the marshmallow, and finally crunching into the cookie. Also ate peanut butter cups that way, and still do sometimes.Kinda like what I did with Wonder Bread. I'd eat the crust first, and then the soft inside. Hope I'm not the only one who did that. Thanks for the info, Howie. Hope all is well with you.

Now almost forgotten, Evacuation Day, especially in the NYC area, was celebrated as a holiday long before the Fourth of July: On November 25, 1783, the British Army boarded their naval vessels and evacuated New York City (then only coterminous with New York County), their wartime headquarters and their last military position* in the United States during the Revolutionary War. As the British sailed away south in retreat through the Narrows separating Staten Island on the west and Long Island on the east, the last thing they saw, as their ships sunk below the horizon, was the Flag of the United States of America flying atop the Liberty Pole (an extended flag pole) in the frontyard of the Dutch Reformed Church in the Hamlet of New Utrecht, Town of New Utrecht, in the south-central part of Kings County. Today this location is at Christopher Columbus Boulevard (18th Avenue) and Liberty Pole Boulevard (84th Street) in the Bensonhurst neighborhood in the south-central part of the New York City Borough of Brooklyn. (The NYC Borough of Brooklyn is coterminous with the NYS Kings County). Replaced six times over the years, the 106' Liberty Pole is the last remaining Liberty Pole in the original thirteen United States. On top of the Pole is the original eagle and weathervane. The eagle is made of wood and has a 5' wingspan. After two hundred and twenty-five years, the weather has weakened it considerably and it has been reinforced with iron bands. The eagle has looked over the bay and seen many sailing vessels, steamships and war ships. It has been said that the eyes of this golden eagle has looked upon more change in the world's history than occurred from the days of Nebuchadnezzar to the day when the eagle was raised. Here's the URL for the New Utrecht Liberty Pole Association: http://www.historicnewutrecht.org/LPA.html Here's the URL for the Dutch Reformed Church (celebrated its 330th anniversary on Saturday, October 27, 2007): http://www.newutrechtchurch.org/ New Yorkers celebrated November 25 as Evacuation Day for well over a century. But, with the warming of relations with England immediately preceding World War I and R. H. Macy's publicity campaigns for a parade celebrating another late November festival, Evacuation Day celebrations faded away. I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Regards, Walter Greenspan Great Falls, MT & Jericho, NY * Although the Treaty of Paris of 1783 said that Britain would evacuate all posts within the new United States, they did not. Scattered posts from present-day Vermont to present-day Michigan remained in British hands until Jay's Treaty of 1795. Niagara was one of these British held forts on U. S. soil. </HTML> Soyamaven@aol.com 2008-11-23T10:17:52-06:00 [BRONXROOTS] The Bronx is burping http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/BRONXROOTS/2008-11/1227374027 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081121/ap_en_ot/baby_names_simpson_wentz_4 --Marc "Marc <<IN4mation EXchange>>" <in4ex@yahoo.com> 2008-11-22T10:13:47-06:00
