Oh yes, they also handed out trading stamps as well (let the young'uns figure out what those were).

And never told anybody they were a quart low when they weren't!

Now in the mid $1.90s.
Sure took a long time to drop from $2 to just over $1.50 around here but it looks like it will only take a couple weeks to go back up over $2.
