It actually was 2 cups in a package. Mmmm they were tasty...and they had a coupon under the paper that when you saved enough of them you could redeem them for prizes! That was like 3 things for a nickle.<br />I remember when I was a little kid going Christmas shopping at the Ben Franklin 5&Dime. I had $5. and would buy gifts for 7 people!! I didn't plan well one Christmas and I only had a nickle left to buy my father's present. I got him a box of juju bees. Boy did the family tease me about that.Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12342650928455607172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185095019490248004.post-35541406653635642082009-04-13T20:54:00.000-05:002009-04-13T20:54:00.000-05:00I recall buying single jolly rancher candies at th...I recall buying single jolly rancher candies at the gas station as a kid...that is it. <br />I love all that you found...the coke and a hotdog is a good deal.
