me and franny

Woolworths shut its doors in the U.K. last week, sending many into a frenzy of nostalgia and bargain shopping. What now-closed store or chain do you wish was still open?

Bergson's! I miss their shakes in the big wax paper cups so much. They were those sort of iconic 80s paper cups with orange and yellow flowers on them, and they smelled stongly of the waxing...I don't know why, but the packaging of food and the flavor it imparts is weirdly important to me...like how the best pizza in the world but taste faintly or cardboard, or how fried fish wrapped in paper is way better than not wrapped in paper...I'm such a weirdo.
