Been doing some research about Marmaros and the Baldknobbers and the fire they supposedly started (the one FitH is based on). Well, I skimmed through the FitH thread we have here, and got interested by the mentions of the Snapp family, which I'd seen briefly mentioned on a couple sites about the Baldknobbers.

So, I went into a more in-depth search mode, and found this:

http://thelibrary.springfield.missouri.org/lochist/periodicals/wrv/v9/n5/f86d.htm

The info about the Snapp family comes about halfway down the page, and Phoebe Snapp (whose married surname was Siler) is interviewed on "page" 4.

I thought it was a very cool random piece of info that ya'll might be interested in.

That is interesting.  Thanks for the link!  I know I won't look at the taffy the same way again...

THE WORST THING-CROSSED WITH THE BEST THING HAPPENED TODAY......I found that a local big-box supermarket is carrying Saltwater Taffy in thier bulk food section from the same company that supplies SDC. They are carrying the Watermelon, cinnamon, peach, and neopolitan. This is StLouis by the way...I am going to be stuffed to the gills with this stuff now! (GOOD THIING=I can get it anytime I want it...BAD THING=Ican get it anytime I want it!)

The question...................
Is it $ 8-9 a pound like SDC?

[rubedugans]

$5-6 per lb. but you cannot mix and match

mmm...
My first job at SDC was in the taffy shop, it was down by the Train Station then.  I think taffy is $5.99lb.
