When penny candy actually cost a penny?

we didn't have to drive to get to the best ice cream in town...and the corner stores had such great penny candy...we knew where all the drinkers lived and would collect the empty beer bottles to cash in for massive amounts of penny candy and comic books...

Lisa....what about driving for miles to nowhere just to drive ( no thoughts of gas prices) and then get an ice cream cone...which cost 10 or 15 cents!

geez... I really am older than dirt ;-)

ok dig this...i remember getting in the car with my dad when we were looking for something to do and just driving to people's houses we knew for a visit. and the people were happy to see us! just an old fashioned "hey stopped in to say hi" visit!

Elle...we had the breadman too.

How about unwrapped penny candy?

Oh yes !!!! loved that and running behind the milk truck to beg for ice....and the older I get the more I have to remember so it gives me a good excuse when I forget something...ooops not enough memory...LOL

Hated that cream, Sherry!!!  We had an insulated box that the milkman would leave the new bottles in, taking the old bottles that Mom washed and put in there when they were empty.  We also had a bread man (he would let us ride in his truck sometimes - can't imagine that now!).

 

And thanks to whoever mentioned smudge pots!!!  What a neat memory!
