I remember when they were 12 cents for the whole package . . . sigh :(
Yeah, but you had to work an half an hour to earn that 12 cents, right!

And Black Jack gum was $.05 a pack - now it’s very, very hard to find at any price.
When I was young, my grandpa sent me two dimes which arrived in the mail every Wednesday along with the cartoons from his Nebraska Sunday paper. A friend and I would walk to the nearest store which was 2 1/2 miles away and buy two cans of soda and two packages of gum. Would cost me at least $4.00 today. Looking back, wish I had kept at least one of the dimes every week though - at least they may have had some value to a collector of old coins.
