76 here....maybe it was just local to the small town I was raised in.

There was a 2 cent deposit on the small bottles and 5 cents on the quart size.
5 cents bought you a full size candy bar.
10 cents bought a Tasty Pie which was twice the size the dollar ones are today.
But that was 75 years ago.

Yeah and the "New-Powerful" Golden Esso Extra was .25 a gallon!

My brothers and I used to scrounge and hoard pop bottles and store them in an old shed we had. We would wait till we had a few wagon loads, (Radio Flyers) till we cashed um in. We musta had a few hundred when the state raised the deposit from 2 cents to a nickle. Whoo Hoo! we thought we hit the lottery.......and our stock split!

Dang bunch of old farts.....LOL

Being closer to 68 then 67, I still remember the 2 cent days. 5 cents for a
5 stick pack of Black Jack chewing gum, and of course the 5 cent Hershey
bar, and the coveted 10 cent bottle of Saegertown Black Cherry Pop. The
kids that really made out were the ones that had a rear paper boy basket on
their Schwinn.
