Snacking in the Sixties

Snacking in the Sixties
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of lines/stripes.

Five boys are sitting at a patio table in the back yard as they drink Food Fair root beer and orange soda and snack on Wheat Thins, twin pops, and Fruit Flavored Slices. Three of the boys are wearing striped shirts, and the two oldest boys look similar enough to be brothers or maybe even twins.

The Kodak Paper stamp box on the other side of this real photo postcard was first used around 1950. The design of the Wheat Thins box on the table suggests a date sometime in the sixties based on the Nabisco Wheat Thins - 1960s image posted on Flickr by Brandon (Waffle Whiffler).

Update: After another Alan commented on Flickr that he was getting a sixties vibe from this photo, I did some additional checking and found a clearer example of the side of the box (see Nabisco Wheat Thins - 1960s). I revised the title and description to reflect that these kids were probably snacking in the sixties rather than the seventies.

My brother had that same popular shirt as the younger boy on the left is wearing. His was a maroon color with white trim but I remember them navy blue with white trim as well.
I think the year was 1966/67.

This scene has a familiar feel of summer in the suburbs. I don't remember those sleeveless shirts, however. As usual, nice job on researching the details, Alan.
