You are totally nuts. A gallon of gas, a magazine, a paperback, a pack of cigs, a six pack, were all a quarter in 1964. A .Colt 1911 .45 pistol was $62.50. Levi's were $2.25. Casady Go check it your self , they're all over $6.00 Go check what? My point was that the factor of six figure was bogus. What am I supposed to check? That gas and cigs were a quarter in 64? I was there. Casady The $6.83 figure is accurate. Sure it is. As you would have it, not 6.82 or 6.84. Come back when you have something not prima facie bogus. You're both wrong. I was paying a dime for a pack of cigs in '64. No, you weren't. I was paying 25 cents a pack for them in 1974. And a nickel for a Snickers bar. Nope. That's what it cost in 1930. It was a quarter in 1964. 12 cents at 7-11 in 1971. |

I was partial to coffee crisp bars back then they were only available in Canada. I remember them being a dime, and a small coke being seven to ten cents, but that's a long time ago. ;~) |
