I Remember When A Candy Bar Was 5 Cents

I remember my dad saying that often as I was growing up. He'd also talk about how something was two bits, whatever that means right. After I was old enough to figure out that two bits wasn't some sort of foreign money, but actually what old timers call a quarter. Anyway why do I bring this up you may wonder. Last night we went to Edaleen Dairy, which we do quite frequently, they even know us there by how many baby cones we order and the fact we come in minutes until closing. I glance at the menu for some reason while we stood in line and realized that they raised their prices. Their baby cones used to be 40 cents and were now 75!!! Oh I thought this cannot be good. Wynden will definitely not go for this. Our 3-4 times a week I could feel would be drastically cut for sure in half as I knew he would almost be offended at the new almost doubled price. It got me thinking that I would now be saying I remember when baby cones use to be 25 cents then 40 cents and now a whopping 75, what is this world coming to. Just as I expected as I told Wynden about the price increase his response "don't they know that we're in a recession. Gey hon, I don't know if we'll be able to come as often"
