Women wore headscarves and men used Vitalis. You opened cokes with a bottle opener , You opened canned drinks with an opener as well...and 50 cents would buy a Coke,a candy bar,2comic- books an small bagfull of wax lips & penny candy. And your parents didn't want you drinking a lot of coke, it would make you feel funny, and of corse, putting peanuts in the coke was best.
