So now that we have our own thread, so to speak, yes, I do remember those little coke bottles and drinking that gross liquid, which was delicious. My parents got into a whole lot of trouble with the tax man because they never asked for tax on candies and stuff like that especially if kids came in. One day they got audited and bam, they had to pay a whole lot of tax. Half the time they didn't even charge the kids for pretzel sticks and such.
Speaking of making your own stuff and selling it, my mom was famous for her lentil soup and corned beef, (even if we weren't Irish, Lol!) and she would make it and sell it in our grocery store. It was a huge hit for many years until the health department came and shut that down. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted!
