With a dime, one could make a call from a phone booth.

I remember when soda was 10 cents a bottle while I was in college.I remember when water only came in 2 flavors tap and hose.
I remember when the deposit from10 soda bottles would fill my Honda 50 and I could ride all day.
Oh remember those long john pushups? They weren’t even like real icecream.A 7 up popsicle or a bomb pop from the ice cream man was 20 cents.
I haven't seen an ice cream man in years. Not sure if I'd trust them if I saw one. Ha.
You forgot the best part. When the tv went off, it said, “It’s 11 o:clock. Do you know where your children are?” We thought it was so funny to say No I’m only 8. I don’t have children . Not that we were allowed to stay up that late more than a handful of times.We had an apple machine at school.
Ice cold apples were .05 and they would core them for you.
I worked the coring plunger so I got a free apple every day.
The teacher knew that was the only way I would ever get an apple.
That was in 1959 I think.
TV came on at 3PM and the first show was As The World Turns.
All the neighbor women would gather with curlers in their hair to watch TV, smoke, and drink coffee till it was time for their husbands to get home.
Every kid had better be out of the house when that started.
TV went off at 11PM with the National Anthem and the Indian test pattern was on till the next afternoon.
If you car had a radio it was AM only and manual shift.
My son and DIL still get milk delivered.
I remember when gas hit $2.00 a gallon for the first time. On the side of 2.5 gallon gas can I wrote in magic marker "Liquid Gold"I remember when gas was .60¢ a gallon!!
