as a young lad would collect, often from construction sites, soda pop bottles to trade in at the corner store...each bottle was worth two cents, enough for a small paper bag of penny candy (blackballs, and several other junk food delicacies, were three for a penny)...five bottles though would mean having a dime to spend, so it was possible to buy a chocolate bar, or another bottle of Pepsi, 7 Up, or Hires Root Beer...with a bit of endeavour it was often possible to get a serious sugar fix
