[/URL] I dont think 1 penny could make a child happy these days, but for me growing up it was always a special treat. As a kid i can remember going to see my grandpa at his work and getting a gumball for one little penny was a must each time.
What was everyones favorite color? I liked the yellow, but sometimes when the machine had the Black Licorice it was like a special treat!

My next door neighbor had one in his storefront (car mechanic). No telling how many of those things I had. 34.

Not always. If one kid has a sugar allergy then none of us can have one

Back when a penny was actually worth something.
