Back in the 60s there was a neighborhood store in our little town where we would take our deposit glass soda bottles. Prices evolved but I think at one time the 12 and 16 Oz bottles were 3 cents and the quart bottles were 10 cents. We bought candy with our earnings and took our time making our choices. That would piss off the Chinese store owner and he would run us out of the place. We called him ‘Dirty Ernie’ but I don’t remember why. We were a little outside our own neighborhood so he didn’t know our folks.

Thanks for that little stroll down Memory Lane! It's for little nuggets like that that I click on articles in the Astronomy forum.

Regards,
