Okay, but how much is five cents in todays money? Like $50? Also, I am afraid to ask but what did seven boys need with straws and extra gravy?
When I wwaas a boy 5 cents would buy you a scoop of the very best ice cream, a pay phone call, a newspaper, a one ounce candybar. or a soft drink out of a vending machine. You could get a soft drink at the ice cream parlor including coke made with phosphate soda water and flavored syrup mixed together for three cents. The only sweetener was pure cane sugar.
You stole that from me! A long time ago, I said anytime I read his posts they are in the voice of grandpa Simpson.
