Hershey bars were 5¢?? That’s crazy.
Yes, I too recall when a Hershey bar was five cents.
However.....we began to notice that although the price hadn’t gone up, the bar was getting smaller. My grandmother could tell me how many ounces there were in a Hershey bar before WWII (she was a grocery store bookkeeper) and how it started getting smaller in the postwar era.
FWIW, I inherited about twenty silver dollars from her estate & several U.S. Savings Bonds in my name that Grandma had bought. A lovely lady.
What’s crazy is that Top Button on My shirt,
What’s it there for?
Seinfeld,,,,Four!
“Hershey bars were 5¢?? That’s crazy.”
I recall as a kid going to the old log-cabin store in Northern Minnesota. Was looking at the candy with what to buy with a quarter, and was eyeing a 25 cent candy bar. the old guy said “Hey - I got some back here with the old ten cent price.”
So of course we bought those.
They smelled and tasted of kerosene - which he used to heat the place!
