I noticed that you used the word gnaw instead of naw. Makes us all wonder. ...
Did use of the word "gnaw" trigger disturbing mental images? Certainly that was not my intent. :rockin:

I'm so old my first car only had an AM dial radio

I'm so old I remember taping songs of the radio using 2 boomboxes facing each other.
I'm so old I lived through a great deal of my life not having the internet, cell phones, gps, satellite radio, video game consoles, etc.
I remember selling things door to door as a kid. Lots of stuff ... and constantly.
Seeds, Greeting Cards, Grit Newspaper, Michigan Out of Doors Magazine. Also my own collection (at about the age of 7) of household stuff I'd come up with ... pens, hangers, boxes of Tid-Bits, Fizzy Pops, and other stuff I'd found around. Also did all kinds of fundraisers for school, though slightly less willingly.
Biggest moneymaker was shining shoes door to door.
Had my wooden shoe shine box with the foot rest on top. .25cents a pair. I'd often get 5 or 10 pair at one house. And it was a renewing sale ... shoes got scuffed.
Seems at about half the households the "man of the house" would invariably tell me to contact him when I was older because he was going to hire me. (The other half of the households ... probably often said, "oh no, him again".)
In modern times I don't know that as an adult, I have ever seen a kid do door-to-door anymore other than occasionally for school. No gumption in kids these days.
