Noel Murray: Bought a bag of Tom's Hot Fries at the grocery store; but I was really buying a trip through time, back to the El Dorado, Kansas municipal pool, summer of 1977.

Bought a bag of Tom's Hot Fries at the grocery store; but I was really buying a trip through time, back to the El Dorado, Kansas municipal pool, summer of 1977.

I grew up near Philadelphia, and I can similarly time-machine myself with any Tastykake product.

Are these different from the Andy Capp hot fries?

Same concept, different company.

Heck, you’re from El Dorado? Wichita guy, right here.

Only lived there for a year, though I spent a lot of time in Kansas as a kid because after my parents got divorced my dad lived in a few different Kansas cities (including Pittsburg and Ottawa).

Well it seems like a lovely memory, I hope it is.
