"Somewhat off topic, but this is one of many articles that I’ve seen, that pegs the price of “loosies” at 75 cents."

I think it has something to do with the target demographic. Kids. I'm 57, but when I was a kid the Ice Cream man sold them for 10 cents. Inflation, I suppose.

You must have lived in the high rent district. I’m 56, and used to buy “Whammy Bars” from the local Good Humor man, for a nickel. Of course, they were only half the size of an ordinary popsicle :) Thanks for your reply!
