Apparently you're not as old as you feel. I could get a candy bar, a small toy and a Dr. Pepper for .25.

guess so. i did find a hershey bar wrapper in an old book, guess i was using it as a bookmark, around 1975. it was a "double size" bar, weighed 3 oz, and was 25 cents. the regular bars were 15 cents for 1.5 oz...don't recall what a bottle of coke was at the time, but i doubt it was much more than a quarter, so maybe you're right, guess it was probably more like 50 or 60 cents for 2 candy bars and a coke

which just irritates me even more when i go to a movie and spend more for a box of sugar babies and a coke than i did to get into the movie.....

we had a little theater in the town i lived in in mn, but we got stuff 6 months after Fargo did, which was just 25 miles down the interstate. he only ran on friday and saturday night, no matinee. charged one dollar. that's where i saw
Blade Runner
Star Wars
Animal House
Death Race 2000
Rambo
Raider of the lost Ark
Airplane.....
had my first date with my high school girlfriend there
had my first fumbling, in the dark, trying not to be noticed sexual contact with her there...
they tore it down after i moved away. now there's a bank there...
so at least someone is still getting screwed in the same vicinity.....

i lived in Tn. till i was 9, we had a Jerry Lewis theater just a few blocks from my house. they only showed G and a few PG movies. i honestly don't remember what the prices were, but i do remember my mom would give me 3 dollars, and i could get a large popcorn, large soda, and they had these huge sour pickles in an iced barrel. so i could get all of that, and either see the movie twice if i liked it, or come home with about a buck...they didn't charge me to sit through the movie twice, but...you know..needed another pickle...
