Thanks for the reply. Considering my age and the time span, I'll try
and do my best. Recollection is brown paper bag with grease spots on
the outside. The "garlic bread" ... it was definately bread and hard,
seemed almost "toasted". Nothing really smeared on like some garlic
breads you find, just the red/orange color. I'd sit down and just chew
it alone. Maybe you were suppose to dip it and nobody ever taught me
that. My best friend's sister is married to a Mexican and he
remembers it also from his youth, but doesn't recall it entirely.
Maybe it was one of those "fad" things that come and go? That was a
good time back then ...
