Remember when?

Remember when comic books cost a dime instead of $4.00?

Oh yeah! We'd beg our moms for some change so we could go down to the convenience store on our bikes and buy a bottle of soda, a candy bar, and a comic book.

I remember around 1974, we discovered Wacky Packages. We'd go down to the convenience store during school lunch [[the one year they actually allowed us fifth and sixth grade kids to leave campus during school hours) and buy them with our lunch money. We stuck those things on everything: our notebooks, books, desks, and bikes. We all outgrew them a year later.
