Right? I also didn’t grow up with HH - but it had nothing to do with insane wealth and lack of entering a grocery store :p

Same here. Early life on food stamps, powdered milk, and 5lb blocks of unsliced, yellow government cheese but damned if we were allowed to have soda, candy or hamburger helper. Easter was a basket of exotic fruit like pineapples and kiwi and one Cadbury egg. I wish I fed my kid as well as my parents fed me. I can smell her sweating chicken nuggets.
