When Penny Candy Was A Penny

The way I figure it, I was born in the meridian of time.When
my Grandpa was a boy he could buy a bagful of penny candy for a penny, and now it takes dollars to buy a few pieces. So since when I was a girl penny candy was a penny, my time was perfect!
Cheerios were .25 per box, a pack of gum was .5, a gallon of gas was .23 and a postage stamp was .3 .
Grandma used a ringer washer. The speed limit was a standard 75 miles per hour on most highways. We got 3 t.v. channels, and color television was just invented. (I remember our first t.v.. We were not the first ones on the block to have one, but we didn't wait too long... well, at the time we thought we did!)
