He would probably say the same thing he said about $4 a dip ice cream cones. Then he would start in on how he couldn't afford ice cream or candy during the Great Depression and how you couldn't get ice cream or candy during WWII because sugar was rationed. He would say how bad the Ready to Eat Meals were soooo bad when in Germany during the war and a Hershey bar could buy you "just about anything". He would tell us about how he went to work for a major defense contractor in 1940 for 50 cents and hour. Then he would say, "Times, they are a changin". :-)
