That was the On-A-Stick era in American culture. Popsicles, corn dogs,
newspapers. And we topped it off at the end by adopting fondue as the

My wife is recovering from an operation and somebody sent her a basket of
fruit-on-a-stick. It's cut up like daisies and other flowers. Fondue
memories, they are.
