You should try their coconut cookies if you can get 'em.

I remember seeing these, however they were a tad bit before my time in terms of vocational practicality. I do, however, remember what it was like to have no internet or cell phones. I am very grateful to have known such a world. Anyway, circling back: those belong in a museum!

When a bankruptcy expert proposes to fix the economy, well...
