Thus it was, in the '50s, in response to one of the most irritating television commercials ever produced ("Busy day, busy day, busy day") that my mom tried instant pudding for...

I entered on the ground floor, walked down a few concrete steps, and was staring at what looked like concrete streets going in three different directions...
