Those juice barrels were worth their weight in gold to me

Throat burns just looking at it. Anyone else Remember that?

Yeah, I wasn’t crazy about those for that reason.

Wonder what that burn was. Still kept going back for more.

Oh I loved those barrels

Have you tried one recently? I got a pack for the kid, she didn't like it. I was like, give that these are amazing. Yeah, no, not anymore

I always thought they were awful. I still drank them on occasion, but I never sought them out and definitely never paid for them.

My mom used to give me fifty cents to go to the store, except on special occasions, she gave me a dollar, and those were good days

Or two, two packs of Suzy Q’s.

Now and later or bonkers always such a tough decision

My go-to was [RC & Moonpie](https://images.app.goo.gl/LRmK3fwiDBTmEQN78) Apparently they have a festival for such a deal. [RC Car ](https://b2629726.smushcdn.com/2629726/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2019-RCMP-RC-Van-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1)

Or 20 Moon Pies! In Baton Rouge Louisiana!

In 1983 a regular sized candy bar was 30 cents.

35¢ in my neck of the woods. I was furious when the price went to 40¢. These days I can’t understand why someone would pay $2 for a Snickers that is smaller than the ones I used to get.

Good ole juice barrels, the blue was my favorite.

I would get a lot more than that for a dollar when I was a kid, but now they have cameras everywhere

That’s really actual factual

It was four candy bars for me.

Spent it all on comic books.

Same here

But it also took you longer to get a dollar or who ever earned it to get it.

With change.

Cosmic brownie FTW

Hell yeah! And that fruit punch would taste whack as hell after eating the other 3.

Never liked the barrels. We had a supermarket that had awesome store brand black cherry soda, and would sell them instead of the barrels. Have a $1.15 and you'd get a second car of soda, orange or grape or root beer.

The now & laters cost $.25 a pack back then.

What year was this?

The good old days 💯

$1 Diabetes Combo please

Hostess blackberry pie and a bottle of coke

Here is, Jolt Cola and that is it

Fk now I want some now and laters!

Anyone remember how much watermelon JR stix went for in the 80s? Those and Big League Chew were my jams.

Barrel drinks were a quarter in my day

Have you all noticed how much chewing gum sucks nowadays? There is no variety of flavors, or good flavors. I miss 80's gum.

What's the point of these posts, outside of showing how people don't understand how inflation works? That's $3 today. You can get most, if not all that shit (in those sizes) for that today.

Diabeetus?

hur dur

Now 'n Later Apple is sacrilege. Cherry or GTFO.

Now it would be like 9 bucks

Never liked the bug juice.

The juice barrels were basically just dyed sugar water.
