    What gas station did you stop at? I've never seen Skittles for that much.

    Try CVS, Walgreens, Brooks, Wal-Mart, etc. and they will be about 60 cents or so.

    Quik-Trip. They have the lowest gas prices in my area, so I guess that is how they make it up.

    What makes me crazy is single 20-ounce sodas for $1.50.

    What she said. There a gas station where I fill up about two blocks from work. Regular size candy bars are $1.19 there and King Size are $1.99! What a RIP-OFF!

    When I was young you could get six root beer barrels or 12 liquorice whips for a nickel.
    You could go to the movies for a quarter, and the was a double feature with a serial, two cartoons and a news reel.

    GEORGE: Yes, I’d like to report a problem with one of your mechanics.

    WILLIE: When did you bring the car in?

    GEORGE: (To the man behind him in line) Yeah, right… I’m gonna get my car repaired at a dealership. Huh! Why don’t I just flush my money down the toilet?

    WILLIE: Sir, what, exactly, is the problem?

    GEORGE: One of your guys - Kip, or Ned, short name - stole my Twix candy bar!

    WILLIE: Are you saying he grabbed your candy bar away from you?

    GEORGE: He might as well have! I caught him, and his face was covered in chocolate and cookie crumbs.

    WILLIE: I thought you said it was a Twix.

    GEORGE: Oh, it was. But he claimed it was a 5th Avenue bar.

    WILLIE: Maybe it was.

    GEORGE: Oh, no, no. Twix is the only candy with the cookie crunch.

    WILLIE: What about the Hundred-Thousand-Dollar bar?

    GEORGE: No. Rice and caramel.

    WILLIE: Nougat?

    GEORGE: No.

    WILLIE: Positive?

    GEORGE: Please.

    (A woman appears from behind the window)

    WOMAN: You know they changed the name from Hundred-Thousand-Dollar bar to Hundred-Grand?

    GEORGE: All I want is my seventy-five cents back, an apology, and for him to be fired!

    (An old man sitting in a nearby chair speaks up. He’s Willie’s father)

    WILLIE SR: I remember when you used to be able to get a Hershey for a nickel.

    (The man behind George speaks up)

    MAN: What’s the one with the swirling chocolate in the commercial?

    GEORGE: They all have swirling chocolate in the commercial!

    WILLIE SR: Not Skittles.

    WILLIE: Dad, I told you you could sit here only if you don’t talk.

    WOMAN: (Sitting behind George) You make your father sit here all day?

    WILLIE: He likes it!

    GEORGE: All right, do you mind? I have the window! (To Willie) Now, what are you gonna do about my Twix?

    MAN: (In line behind George) Twix has too much coconut.

    GEORGE: No! There’s no coconut!

    WOMAN: (Behind service window) I’m allergic to coconut.

    WILLIE: I’m not.

    WILLIE SR: …A nickel!

    Better yet, walk and lay off the candy.

    QT had them at 99 cents? Either you got a king size package or you were charged wrong. All of their regular sized candy is supposed to be 79 cents. What I love about QT is their 79 cent 32-ounce fountain drinks throughout the summer.

    Shit, I'm only 33 and I remember being able to get four packs of baseball cards for a buck...
