In 1975 I Visited The Jolly Rancher Factory in Colorado

Everywhere I looked were jovial men in worn jeans, leaning back in chairs with their steel-toed boots pointed high, spitting tobacco juice onto the wooden floor while regaling one another with amusing tales of water and grazing rights, wolf infestation and the like.

It was one of the most unsettling experiences of my life, one from which I doubt I’ll ever fully recover.
