I loved going to the penny candy stores. They were the 7-11 of our day.

We had three of them to chose from and even with a dime you could get 10 pieces of different things....bull's eyes, jawbreakers, Chum Gum, candy buttons, licorice records, licorice whips, Mary Jane's, pretzel sticks, Tootsie rolls, Sputnik blue gum balls coated in sugar, wax bottles filled with liquid, Lik-a-maid, Pixie sticks, for a dime you could get a caramel apple. Those were such fun times!
