Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 14, 2018

how did M.A. misspell her French name: Mari Antuanett?

According to something I read, the pig was a sow, and she and her piglets stood trial for the murder. The piglets’ lives were spared.

By the time I was born, Three Musketeers had become what it is now.

All that for a 5 Cents …… if you could get the old style 3 musketeers bar what would it cost now ?

Three Musketeers – a 5 cent candy bar is well before my time… I can remember them being 15 cents, then rising to 20 cents due to inflation. And, candy was still sold in wax paper-like wrappers.

My dad told me about the Three Musketeers bar being the tree flavors, but, as time went on the packing got sloppy You might get two bars of one flavor one of another or you might get all of one flavor. It probably was cheaper to do one bar instead of three.

There used to be a chocolate bar called Seven Up. It had 7 little sections, each with different fillings and a Brazil nut in the center.

I’d say that pig was roasted big time…

And that misspelling was……???

As shown a little more clearly at http://www.candywrapperarchive.com/candy-collector/1939-3-musketeers/, the slogan in quotes under the musketeers is “When you crave good candy.” Makes me weep, not because it’s a sentence fragment but rather it describes my day-to-day struggle to subdue my A1C.

I never new that about Three Musketeers! I think it would be wonderful if they brought back the other two flavors!!!!!

Same problem

Oh, man! If that would make a comeback, I’d love to try it! Even though I’m not a huge fan of 3Ms. Except for the mint one.

This shows how old I am, I used to eat those 3 Musketeers bars – I only had a nickel weekly allowance and had to decide whether to spend on a large candy bar, a cup of ice cream [with a wooden spoon] or a twin pops popsicle [large popsicle that could be broken in half – each side had its own stick]. Everything else – including a tall bottle of Pepsi – was at least 7 cents.

The big T cannot even correctly spell all simple words of his own mother tongue, so what is the point in mentioning that Maria Antonia couldn’t correctly spell “the French version” of her name?

Did they eat the pig after it was executed? Shame for all that bacon to go to waste.

Wait, why was she writing her own birth certificate? Wasn’t she too young at the time?

Aren’t all child-killers at least pigs?…

At that time I earned 42 cents an hour. Work out how long it would take to work for a candy bar, then figure how long it would take to do it today. We’re ahead.
