Back in 1964 when I worked on an air conditioned ice cream truck for three summers to pay for my school clothes we charged $.25 for a large milk shake and $.35 cents for a cone that was about twelve inches high. If you tilted the cone it would fall off from the weight and gravity. Each night I would after we came back home make 300 round ice cream sandwiches and freeze them for the next day. At that time each one sold for $.05 and was a bargain. Today I saw the same one on a chocolate wafer for $1.49 plus tax. There seems looking back a huge discrepancy between a nickle and $1.49 plus tax.
