My grand parents were not any kind of religion and they drank Postum
too. I remember the jar on their table. To be fair, it was probably
hard to get real coffee here during the war and probably during the
50s and 60s. (Kona Coffee was not sold around Hawaii much then.)

I rememerb even in the 80s, it was hard to buy flour at our biggest
local grocery store, w/o any weevils. Stuff used to come by slow ship.

Thank goodness for modern times!
