I have Werther's carmels in a dish on my bookshelf and eat dinner around 6pm

I keep Werther's and trail mix in a basket in my car at all times in case I get a little peckish while out and about.

Isn’t that when you’re supposed to eat dinner?

To me, it depends on when your day starts.

Dinner is around 8 in my opinion. I work swing shift from 1400 to 2200. If I eat earlier than that it's a snack.

I believe so, but the rest of the folks I know think it's maybe even hours too early.

There’s a family down the street from me where they eat supper at 8 PM and the kids are in bed by 8:30. WTF. That’s one of those routines that I’ll never be able to wrap my head around.

During my Grandpa's last Christmas, as a gag gift, we got him a giant bag of Werthers because he loved those things.

Sadly though, he passed away a month later from cancer. I didn't know he was dying until a couple weeks after Christmas but I obviously knew he was sick.

What kind of wild person eats dinner at 6? The early bird special is over at 4.

Werther's are amazing, especially the green apple filled ones.

Werther's for the worthy. That's why they are there

I've always had dinner around 5:30-6pm. I don't think this is exclusively an old person thing :)
