Fat & Thin



When we were kids, Fat and Thin used to refer to the comedy duo of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.  But it also referred to the brand of peanuts, pumpkin seeds and watermelon seeds that small sari-sari stores would sell.   I recently came across some dry-roasted peanuts from Fat and Thin, and you can see the likeness of the legendary comedy duo at the lower right-hand side of the pack.  I'm amazed that the brand lives on, and happy to know that some part of the memories of our youth is still alive and kicking!
