How about the Penny Candy stores? Did you guys have one in your neighborhood too? Or was that a thing that was everywhere?
We'd turn in pop bottles for a small amount of change and go get a whole bag of candy for it. Wax Lips, Dots on rolls of paper, some sort of sweet liquid in a wax tube, can't remember what some of it was called.
