Why do you suppose sour candies are so popular these days? It wasn't a market when I was a kid.

    “These days” being those that comprise the recent entire half of your life is a hell of a framing

      Sour candy sales jumped 25% last year.

      Here’s another article not from 30 years ago

      I said “these days” not to mean all the time since I was a kid, but to mean “these days”.

      I included the personal information to indicate that the phenomenon has occurred entirely within the time since I was a kid.

      Really sorry to confuse you. I hope we’re good now. You seemed upset.

        I wasn’t upset and I think it’s sad that you’re primed to interpret things that way automatically
