4. Ladmo Bag Legacy
Most of the bags handed out on the show went immediately in the garbage after the kid wolfed down the sugary treats inside. It was a paper bag at the end of the day. Some, however, have survived the years. Owning a Ladmo Bag in Phoenix is a badge of honor, and a valuable investment. Folks in Phoenix reference the bags as a turn of phrase, “I never got a Ladmo Bag when I was a kid,” implying they had a rough childhood. At the Arizona State Fair, replicas of the famous bags often pop up as promotional tributes.
