My grandmother used to bake the most delicious 7up cake.
I remember loving the sound of my family's console stereo. As the decades went by, I started wondering if I was just remembering good times and not the actual sound of the stereo - you know, nostalgia and all - but your post makes me believe that old stereo really did sound great!
I use some kind of lemon lime soda for a Filipino chicken dish. We usually don't use it, but I ain't ever turning back.
The thing with those old stereos, they used large speakers to move air, and the fad for overboosted high frequencies and overboosted sub-bass hadn't hit. So you were actually getting sound that was more characteristic of what you would hear from actual instruments at an actual characteristic listening distance. Today's combination of mastering and teny widdle bookshelf speakers makes it sound like you've got one ear 5 inches away from the singer's mouth and the other ear glued to the front head of the bass drum. Totally unrealistic.I remember loving the sound of my family's console stereo.

I know if Crisco’s still around. Referring to the packaging. Somehow, when you gotta remind me that it’s “digestible”, it doesn’t strike me as so.. But back then, what did we know?
