I remember when..............

I remember the Gonella bread trucks that drop off bread at the restaraunts in Chicago, still warm.
Day old doughnuts at the bakery for 5 cents.
Smokes and gas all for well under a buck.
My sisters giving me the key to their car when I was 12 or 13 to get them smokes.
6 pack of Old Style beer for a bit over 2 dollars.
Drinking age was 18 in Wisconsin so we'd all chip in gas money and head North for the evening (lost a friend doing that too, damn dangerous).
Like others said, being out on the bike until the street lights came on, no worries.
50 cents wouldn't buy a gallon of gas and some candy but it would buy a white bag full of candy from the drug store.
Returnable bottles (that's how we'd get the 50 cents, lol).
10 cent bottled soda from a vending machine that you opened lid on at the top at the laundry-mat. It was awesome soda made locally in Park Falls Wisconsin... the name escapes me though.
