Hmm, 1965... you're still a spring chicken... I remember 75¢ minimum wage
(1950)... and most fountain ice cream concoctions were 10¢... hand dipped sugar
cones were a nickle. It's funny how all ice cream back than was "premium", and
now folks act like it was just invented last month. In 1950 there was no
pre-packaged ice cream, it was all hand dipped... usta get a gill of Dolly
Madison packed to the flaps for 10¢.

gill = 4 fluid ounces (7.219 cubic inches) 118.294 milliliters
