When I was a kid, there were commercials that mentioned "fluffer-nutters," sandwiches of peanut butter and marshmallow. I don't remember if it was an ad for peanut butter or marshmallow.

I don't remember that one.
I do remember the ones where a guy carrying peanut butter and a guy carrying chocolate crash into each other and discover a delightful new combination!

It was on at, like, 8 p.m. and my dad was really adamant that my brother and I had to go to bed by 8. So I was always really upset (if only they'd had DVR -- problem solved!). Finally even my grandmother suggested to my dad (her SIL) that maybe he could just let me watch it. So finally, he did.

Oh, yeah, I guess I never got around to mentioning that at first Bewitched! was on after my bedtime, too, but I was able to lie in bed and listen to it.
And yet, somehow, I always remembered the Halloween Candy episode. ???

Hello Sonja and Brian. Unfortunately, this building doesn't have one of those systems, but I believe I read a note somewhere that we are supposed to get one, but with the virus going on, God only knows when it will really happen.
I'm guessing that they (property management) feel it's not necessary here, because it's a garden apartment building, that is only two stories tall. The people on the first floor only have to go down 4 small steps to reach the door to the building, and us on the second floor have just a small flight of about 12 steps or so, so it's not a big deal to go downstairs and let someone in.
Usually my friends will call or text before they come over, so I generally only get unexpected 'buzzes' when a delivery is made.

I see. It seems very awkward and unpractical to me that you actually have to be decently dressed and leave your home in order to find out who's buzzing you. Like that night you told about.
I hope they change your system soon.

Yes, I am thankful my house is L-shaped and, on the rare occasions the front door bell rings, I can lookout my bedroom window and see who is at the door.
