See the 39 cent Banana Split!!!

When I was a kid, several times our Woolworths had a special.....

They put Banana Split prices from 1 cent to 39 cents in blown-up balloons and hung them up around the lunch counter.

You picked a balloon and whatever price was in it is what you paid.

Twice I picked a balloon with 1 cent in it!!!!

Top of the world, Ma!!!!!
