Another thing you could buy for a nickel back then in NY was a big, soft
pretzel. I had an uncle who was only 8 years older than me and he and I
would sell pretzels out of a bushel basket near Knickerbocker Park in
Brooklyn.

We never made much money. Probably because we ate up too much of the
inventory.<vbg>
