My family arrived to the small (cold and snowy) town of Council Bluffs,
Iowa in late December, 1979 as refugees from Laos. Our sponsors rented a
4-story mansion for our family of six, just down the alley from a drug
store. We didn't know what to expect from our life in America, but I
recall very vividly, running to the drug store to get the sweet and
salty, soft and crunchy taste of Salted Nut Rolls.
I remember saving up my coins from what I found laying in the streets,
to buy a Nut Roll for myself and my three sisters. Sometimes the store
clerks would give me some for free, just to see the excitement in our
eyes. I couldn't remember the name of that candy bar, until I finally
found this site today. Thanks for bringing back the memories! ~ Laty
