Sorry, I though I wouldn't say more but I can't believe you asked that
question. The "mock" was Ritz crackers, you didn't know? The need
was that apples were too expensive. It was the Depression Era when it
came about. People couldn't afford food and they used cardboard to
resole their shoes - if they were lucky enough to have any.
