Six Words: Copper, Secure, Faint, Mark, Ecstasy, Routine
Was there a candy store near your elementary school? Were you allowed to go into the store by yourself? Did you buy Lik-M-Aid and candy buttons on long strips of paper? Sen Sen too? Did you like Bazooka Bubblegum or did you choose the other brand?
Those were the days when ecstasy was having some small, round pieces of copper that feature a bust of Lincoln and the years they were minted stamped on them, and under the year a faint letter marking where each was minted. Those trips to the candy store never became routine. When you put a piece of that candy or gum in your mouth you felt secure – unless, of course, you weren’t supposed to go to the candy store alone in the first place.
