Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

I remember when your basic candy bar was 10 cents. When they went up to 15 cents each (yikes!), I had to ask for a raise in my allowance.

The 3 Musketeers bar could be broken into 3 decent size pieces(part of the reason for the name). Now they'd be 3 "fun size", whatever that means.

Yeah, miniatures being labelled as "fun size". If there ever was something so completely mis-named.

Now THIS is my idea of fun-sized!

And the chocolate bar, too.

I remember five cent candy bars and the king size bars were ten cents.

To take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time

I used to buy candy bars and trading cards for 5 cents each or 6 for 25 cents.

We had a similar contraption where you slip the dog onto a set of prongs and it basically electrocuted the frank as a way of cooking it. So long ago I don't remember if it was this version or not, but I do remember it gave the hot dog an odd metallic taste. Even chili and cheese couldn't cover it up. Next garage sale we had it was gone.

Had that issue with an air fryer . It gave everything a plastic taste...and it was the one that was highly recommended in reviews. We gave it away to a WalMart curbside order runner and she was delighted.
