I started smoking when a pack of cigarettes cost $3! Naturally, I quit when they went up to about $12!
I remember when candy was .50 cents and chips and gum were .25 cents. I remember when payphones existed and worked!

Re: I remember when....
The subway was $1.25
'Quarter Waters' really cost a quarter.
'Be Kind, Rewind'
People would line up for hours, even days, to buy concert tickets.
A big bottle of Coke or Pepsi was 2 liters, not 1.5.

i used to record songs from the radio on to my tape deck.
When tv's were so big they were a piece of furniture.
Knee highs came in plastic eggs.
kids passed paper notes in school instead of texting each other!

Stamps were $0.22 Gas was $1.09/galllon Slice of Pizza was $0.90 Candy was $0.50/per whatever (gum, candy bar, etc)
I also remember having to break those little tabs out of a cassette tape so you wouldn't erase the songs on there. I remember when the Apple 2E came out and Atari. I remember when VCR's first came out too!

There still are 3liters. I wondered why they were missing in NY but we have them in TX and I've seen them in other states as well. After about 3months of walking my groceries to, from and UP a 5story walk up I think I understood why none are here.
