IN THE 1940S, LONG PRETZELS WERE 3 FOR A NICKEL. THERE WAS A HUGE ASSORTMENT OF PENNY CANDIES FOR sale; some were even 2 or 3 for a penny. I particularly remember one that I adored as a child, having been born in 1941. It was sort of a creamy fudge sold for a penny in a tiny gold colored fluted tin cup with a miniature spoon for eating. I couldn't get enough of that candy! does anyone remember that one?.....I grew up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, NY. Also, does anyone remember Mello-Roll ice cream?

There were no figures found for 1981, but the surmise would be that a typical candy bar in 1981 cost between 25 and 30 cents.
