A Bit of Nostalgia for the VN Vets!
Do ya'll remember...
...when Tootsie Rolls were a nickel? They were about 6 inches long and as big around as your thumb. Tootsie Roll Pops were 2 cents each. They were TWICE as big as they are now. And I had forgotten about those little caramel and chocolate squares wrapped in clear paper for 1 cent each. Man! We didn't know how good we had it! Airborne! Steve / 82Rigger

Candy
Actually, I've always been a Reese's peanut butter cup man. You know, if you buy them on November 1st the price isn't bad. This has been sort of a childhood thread, that's a good thing, but does anyone remember $.99 six packs?
Stay healthy, Andy

Cheap Beer
I remember when you could buy really bad beer for .89 or .99 a six pack. There was Brown Derby and Fisher beer out here in Calif., don't know if they had it anywhere else.

Used to
Play pool for 10 cents a game and drink .25 cent drafts. The bartenders would also rack the balls for you after each game when they collected their 10 cents. It was cheap fun for 16-17 year old boys. The Draft beer was "Cool Blue PBR'S". Back then it was a great beer. Don't forget penny candy also. Used to get 2 or 3 for a penny.
Rigger, your real fixated on candy right now.....what's up??? Also, Cigs in a machine, .25....at the drug store..... 15 cents. Ol' Packo
