Aw the good ye really oldie but goodie days,,,
DOug
now I will upset a few of you 25 cents a GAllon for gas, and a Nickel coke that was so strong your eyes would water..
Nah, Old Spice was what my Dad wore. He was of the depression years and I'm of the modern generation. Now Brut was good too...had that nice chain around the bottle.
As far as gas, yes .25/gallon was common. I had a 1960 Corvette and would just go to one of my local stations, fill up, and sign the ticket. At the end of the week went in and paid my bill, and sometimes let it go for two weeks. Nothing was said, it was just the way of doing business. Same at the grocery store.
Speaking of the Coke, you can still get the old formula. It is imported from Mexico and made with cane sugar insted of corn syrup......have to go to a Mexican grocery and it's pricey but it's the real thing.
