From the archivist’s note:

Communist Supermarket

During the last Ceausescu’s dictatorship years, there was a terrible lack of food in the supermarkets. Basically, the supermarkets, aka “Alimentara”, displayed flowerpots in the windows (geranium, ficus, begonias, etc), and inside, there was plenty of handmade advertisings…I can give a sample: “Eat fish every day. Fish is the main source of phosphorus for your body” or “No meal without fish”. Nevertheless, the fish used to lack with other fundamental goods. The salesclerks was sophisticated, though. They reached a gargantuan power since they could biasedly manage the distribution of goods to the starved people. They used to employ the rich in soy fat salami, the dreadful frozen chickens (also called at that time UFO’s or unidentified flying objects, and I guess you got it) and the pig trotters (also called at that time “Adidas” because of the famous sport shoe brand, and I guess you got it again) as magic wand which helped them to open wonder worlds, exquisite adventures, shining friendships, glowing horizons…

Romania.

felröhögtem ahogy odabökte a végére, hogy románia, elnézést. pedig tisztelem a románokat, hogy kibírták azt kibaszott rendszert, van is bennük alázat, nem úgy mint bennünk, még egyszer bocsánat!

Én úgy emlékszem, hogy bölcs vezérük az államadósságot akarta megszüntetni, és ezert mindent de mindent exportált, beleértve az élelmiszert is…
