    Once bought a bunch of Nik-l nips and emptied them all into a glass. Got about six ounces of the gunk and drank it.

    It was not a very good idea.

    Were those the ones using wax in the shape of the bottle?

    I can remember driving my 1967 Mustang to the full service gas station. It would be sitting on empty. I told the attendant " See if you can squeeze $5 into it ".

    Cut the tops off with a small serrated knife.

    I think that nik-l-Nips were the inspiration for pruno.

    .10 cent coke and dime Hershey bars (.05 before it doubled) remember when is spot on

  • CaptHenwayCaptHenway Posts: 32,715 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I remember when Hershey bars went from a nickel to a dime, but they had been shrinking for years as a form of incremental price increasing, and they went back to their original size at the dime.

    I am about to write a story about the counterfeit 1925 nickel discussed late last year. All of this shows why somebody would counterfeit a nickel.
