You know what I miss? When potato chips used to be 25 cents each. Amongst other things. I miss it because of the convinience. Just taking out of quarter. Now you have to take out two, or deal with a bunch of dimes and nickles and pennies. Simplicity was better.
Potato chips for 25cents? In my country one package cost 2$ or more. And you are crying about US economy and simplicity.
My grandmother told me that cookies used to cost a dime. She said you could feed yourself for a few days off of a dollar.
Anyway, were I live now, most bags of chips aren't even $2.
