   Many present-day bakers would get stuck on the “oleo” ingredient, too.

   A bigger problem is remembering what size those candy bars were at the time. Lots of size shrinkage, then the king-size bars come out (at a higher price) but eventually shrink down to the original size. What’s a Plugger to do?

   Same with 5 & Dime stores. Last I saw one was late 70’s in
   E-town, PA.

   OMG! This is my recipe too, except I use butter in stead of oleo. I make so many at a time I converted the recipe to baker’s percent. (8 yesterday, 12 on Thanksgiving.)

   This recipe sounded intriguing. I’m not one much for sweets, but I know those who are, so I looked up this recipe to see the rest of it. Holy cow! I thought 8 Milky Way bars sounded like a lot, but the recipe I found called for 11, plus 2 sticks of oleo. Albeit, 3 Milky Ways and 1 stick of oleo were for the frosting (along with 2 cups of powdered sugar).
   Good grief! Any desire for anything sweet I may have had curled up and died just reading the recipe!

    Oops, we’re out of 5 cent candy bars, we’ll have to fill the car with 30 cents a gallon gasoline, and head to the Grand Union.

    I remember when you could buy four gallons of gasoline for one dollar. This year it was the other way around.

    The other day I considered myself a plugger when I couldn’t find the cent mark on the keyboard.
    .
    I remember the gas, stamps, and candy bar. I remember 5 cent fudgesicle, and a 10 cent Brown Mule. They weren’t the tiny sticks they call popsicles today. They had real vanilla too.
