Sorry if I got off track here, but this thread brings back a lot of old memories.

Yes, we had milk breaks, too. Milk was $.04 a bottle. And the savings bond program reminded me of S&H Green Stamps and later on Plaid Stamps. Remember those? They came in quite handy for trading in for household items to be given as wedding gifts. And do you recall being given glassware when you purchased gas? Some of it is selling at a premium now at antique stores.
