Lol, we still have the saying "are we waiting on rations or something?" when encountering long lines. Luckly only jokes remained of that period. Although the entire eastern part is scarred developmentally-wise from the communist era. I was born a few years after it ended but I encounter people that say they had the right to a single chicken per month per family and being a cashier was a real perk back in the day.
