Something that has always fascinated me are the Whirling Dervishes. I want to know who they are and why they do what they do. Until I find the answers to my questions, enjoy watching what they do!

When I was a little girl, my favorite treat to buy at the movies was Bonomo's Turkish Taffy. It only cost 5¢. I want to find out if they still make that candy! Here are two of the commercials that used to be on TV in the 1950s.
