I gave up on ear plugs, long ago
 
I use Cotton Balls
much more convenient, softer...
 
[or you can try splitting larger cotton balls into two]

I guess you don't live by the sea. I'm at the NJ shore and most seafood
here has always been a more expensive food source and not
poor people's food, unless you catch it yourself. Prices for a piece of
fish aren't that much different than if you were in OH. In fact, I've
seen some places well inland, when traveling, where fish prices were less
than they are here at the coast.

The transportation is a component, but it's not the dominant factor
in the price. There are lobster boats right here, but the price isn't cheap
and poor people aren't eating them. Even typical average American
family obviously finds them pricey, because I don't see folks eating
them much. I'd eat them a lot if they were cheap.

I do recall it being said that it was poor people's food back in
the days of the Pilgrims, but lobster sure wasn't cheap in 1961.

I don't know what the poster is talking about either. People still send
oranges and other fruit as gifts at Xmas. It doesn't have anything
to do with them being rare or unusual. And certainly oranges were
plentiful in the 1960s.
