New York 1911. Everyone's well-dressed. Everyone's trim. What happened?

Frito-Lay happened.

Ted Lasso

Ha ha! Literally laughed out loud.

And yet the 1st clip shows a dude without a leg. I’ll take 2024, thank you very much

Odysseus

I'm gonna concede the point that having two legs is generally a good deal.

KCFan85

People are still slimmer in New York cause they walk everywhere.

TCuz

I'm not so sure, man. I was just there. And the clothes?

I’m sure you got to the truth of it at Times Square and the Statue of Liberty.

All I know about NYC nowdays is everyone is smoking weed

I know one person who lives in NYC, and she's quite fat.

The CBers I know of that live around NYC are very obese as well

Obesity has absolutely increased because of all the unhealthy diet choices.

Same. Soda gives you fuzzy teeth, which I really dislike.

they could only afford one set of clothes and they could only afford to walk too. given that, we'd look the same today

Where'd you hear that about clothes? Interesting point.

KCFan85

Easy to dress nice when you pay slave wages to kids in factories?

I'm gonna guess most of those guys weren't factory owners.

KCFan85

They all likely benefitted from it though but also it was a joke

Oooooh. I missed the joke. There are just enough guys on here ...

KCFan85

It wasn’t particularly funny. Mostly I get a chuckle out of what was acceptable then. Dress nicely but kids in mines ok
