RedMonqey :" I was just about to type that
Guess that makes us old!

Yup !
I even remember 'penny candy', and gasoline at $.67 per gallon
and our home silverware was given out by Mobil Oil Company, at one piece per fill-up
Saturday, all-day movies (10:30AM-5 PM), where they gave out door prizes between movies,
and my first baseball glove came from 'S&H Green Stamps'.

I remember all that except the price of gas(too young to drive)
I remember s&h stamps and after we got home from grocerys, we’d lick all the stamps and put them in the booklet and dream about what we could buy with them.
Thing is, I don’t remember redeeming anything I wanted.
Parents did I’m sure.
