I remember when Now and Later candies (my favorites) were just .10 cents a pack. Now they cost $1.25 in some stores. And they don't even have my flavors anymore.

I remember when candy bars were .07 cents. Like a Snickers or back then they had Marathon bars.
I remember when gas was 29.9.

I liked those Chick o Sticks. I remember at age seven, if we weren't raking people's yards and cleaning houses to earn money, we'd be collecting Coke and Pepsi bottles that we'd find all over the neighborhood. We'd take them and walk about a mile to the 7-Eleven and redeem at the store and stock up with Now and Laters and Chick o Sticks every chance we'd get.

Yeah buddy!
Good days those were.
I'm so glad I'm not a kid today.

The first Milky Way Bar I can recall buying was .05. Just as my first Comic Book, bought out of my weekly allowance of 50 cents, was 10 cents.
For 25 cents I could buy enough "Penny Candy" to overdose on sugar.
The Saturday Matinee was 25 cents.
For another quarter you could get a bag of popcorn and a Coke (sweetened with non-GMO Cane Sugar).

Also, back then, they used Palm Oil which, along with coconut oil, is one of the healthiest oils one can ingest especially for high heat cooking.
Now it's probably GMO canola poison.
To question is to value the ideal of truth more highly than the loyalties to nation, religion, race, or ideology.

I recall when we were lucky if we had pockets.
Hand-me-downs came that way.

Or worse, if it can be any worse, GMO Soybean Oil which is "Partially Hydrogenated". Not exactly the most "heart healthy" oil.
I do love Organic Popcorn cooked in Coconut Oil - with a dash of Sea Salt (a large dash). :-)

I can remember putting twenty-five cents worth of fuel in the rig and driving all night.

Even the candy bars had sugar, not corn syrup.
They're finally making those sodas again and they taste so much better. Still gotta limit the sugar intake tho, it's a cancer feeder.
