Some of the vendors selling these treats and treasures from yesteryear are grownups who cherish the same memories as their customers. Take the man behind the relaunch of Fizzies, the effervescent drink tablet licked, dissolved and chugged by a whole generation of children. Fred Wehling, 51, president of Amerilab Technologies, was one of those kids.

...disappointments and pleasures in the shadows of our famous brick. Somewhere in that classic landscape, our thoughts and experiences overlap. It’s the impression I’ve now made of Harvard, more than any property intrinsic to this institution that I’m beginning to cherish. It’s not the exact image of the tourists, the media, my professors, or even other students, but it’s an image nonetheless, folded into a series of alternate, but equally meaningful impressions.
