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 saved the Time magazine with the obit. Dead of inflation in Hershey
Pa, the five cent Hershey bar. This was in 68.

I remember the Hersey bars being five cents, but I never ate them. 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. ;~)
