I Remember.......

I remember when Cokes were 5 cents and you got back 2 cents when you returned the bottle. So, the Cokes were actually 3 cents. And, there was 0 inflation rate. Wish corporations had kept that business model instead of the model of screwing everyone so the CEO's are rich enough to buy their own country or island.
 
5 cent Cokes from a vending machine. We used to make badges with the caps. The caps had cork on the inside. You would separate the cork from the cap, place the cork on the inside of your shirt and press the cap over it from the outside of your shirt.

Memories, anyone?

didn't do the badge thing but remember the cork and pulling it out.

I remember before cans had pull tabs and you needed to punch holes in them.

I remember making stuff out of the original pull tabs and stepping on them.

Reel to reel was the real deal back then. I had a Roberts and loved it.

I remember my mother taking grandma, when she visited from Arkansas, across to Cherokee to get $1.25 per carton cigs back in the mid sixties.

And those old fuel pumps with what looked like ping pong balls in them. Fill-r-up with ethel.
