25¢ chips. When I was a child you could buy a bag of chips, a Day's soda, and a Tastykake Chocolate Junior for a dollar. Now that's like 2$. Kids just can't start their journey towards obesity for cheap anymore.

I can do you one better. When I was a kid in the early 70s, you could get a 12oz canned soda and a bag of chips for a quarter.

Soft drinks in glass bottles. When I was a kid, soft drinks came in 12oz cans or glass bottles (10 & 16oz). You had to pay a deposit on these (usually five cents).

I used to collect these in my neighborhood by the dozens and turn them in. It helped finance my comic book and candy habits for years.

Both parts of this are still a thing. More or less so, depending on where you are in the world, anyway.

I have seen modern drinks in glass bottles, but with no deposit.
