My allowance was $1.00 a week to do with as I pleased. What pleased me was to hop on my bicycle every Saturday and ride to the Wheaton Comics and Candy store.

Five cents went to buy bubble gum baseball cards, a pack of seven baseball cards with a flat, square piece of bubble gum inside. Then, if there were any new comic book editions from DC or Marvel, I’d buy a bunch of them at ten cents each.

I’d then buy two Chunky chocolate candies at a nickel each. Mmm, Chunky. What a chunk of chocolate.
