I was real young during WWII and there was no candy or gum. I remember my first bubble gum. Someone heard there was some at a certain store and a neighbor man loaded up all the kids and we drove there and were each allowed to buy 2 pieces of bubble gum. We chewed that gum for weeks. This was after the war. Then we moved to Houston and they had a movie for kids on Saturday. I got a dime and walked to the movie and it was 9 cents so there was a penny left for a piece of gum.
