Ten cents? You youngster, you. I used to pay 5¢ for a Hershey bar.
I’d get 2¢ for the coke bottles left at the construction sites and buy candy and comic books. No cigarettes, though.

Candy bars were 5¢ for a LONG time. I remember in the 70’s, when they jumped up to 40¢, and Hersheys said, “we promise when prices for sugar and chocolate go down, so will candy prices. Hmm. I guess chocolate and sugar prices never went down...

and that 2¢ would get you at least six penny candies

My mom would write a note for me to go to the drugstore and get her cigarettes and one candy for me. BUT, ONLY ONE
