View submission: When did people start washing fruit?
Owners of the fresh fruit and vegetable trucks that slowly prowled through neighborhoods in the ‘50s and ‘60s with the corrupt clock scale hanging on the back sometimes gave an apple to each of us kids. We all rubbed and shinned them up on our shirts before eating. Except for bananas our moms always washed whatever they bought. Always.

I miss the produce trucks. I miss the singing of the vendors as they called out their wares.
