Yes, back in the early sixties, I never seen candy in pound bags. Candy bars were 5 cents each. Gas was about 29 cents a gallon for Ethel .
Ethel: "I hollered up at Ethel, I said "DON'T LOOK, ETHEL!!"..Too late. She'd already gotten a free shot. Grandstand. Right there in front of the home team."
Ethyl: The new fuel was tetraethyl lead. With vast profits in sight – and very few public health regulations at the time – General Motors Co. rushed gasoline diluted with tetraethyl lead to market despite the known health risks of lead. They named it “Ethyl” gas.
I remember it well, almost like it was yesterday.
"Fill'er up? Regular, Ethyl, or Premium ma'am?"
"Want me to check under your hood?"
