I remember that well tooBurger King had the $2.22 deal.....two burgers and two small fries. I lived on that during my university days Lol
Great idea Bull!Add to this thread something you remember from your past
For instance
I remember when gas was sold in gallons and not litres. A gallon of gas was 18cents
I remember when breakfast cost 2 dollars. For 2 dollars you had 2 eggs toast bacon and a bottom cup of coffee
I remember when JFK was assassinated.
I remember that day as well. my dad thought there would be race riots. however in our city there was not one single solitary black person living. the closest one would have been in Toronto and odd of someone driving to my home town to have a race riot was slim to none.
everytime something happened in the states my dad was thinking race riots. JFK's death had nothing to do with anyone black but to my dad it did.
when Martin Luthur king was killed he went into a big panic.
which then I do remember the first black person that moved into my home town. he was a boy that was adopted by white parents. that was something.
When JFK was killed, my Dad was at sea and the natural reaction; was is there going to be a war? All the neighbours were at sea. Being a wee kid it was just surreal. Just like the missile crisis. You knew something bad was brewing.
I was in Pennsylvania for the summer of '66 when the Watts Riots were going on. In smalltown Orwigsburgh nobody seemed to notice. I don't even recall my Uncle and Aunt having the news on. I think that sort of sums up a lot about the USA.
