I recently noticed a couple of kids here with homemade kites. Maybe they, or their parents more likely, are starting to rebel against these outrageous costs.
... a friend of mine had several hundred bubble gum machines around town. The gum balls were 25 cents. I asked him if the machines were profitable and all he said was that the gum balls cost him 2 cents! Thanks Bill for stopping by, enjoy your day.
Not a bubble gum customer, but wouldn't mind the hat the mannequin is wearing. My kids (and grands) of a certain age would always pester me to go riding on any little ride. I guess I gave in a few times!
Everything is more expensive nowadays. Some restaurants will raise their prices when they reopen. One Toronto restaurant already confirmed that is raising their prices by 15 per cent.
I don't think I'll be buying any of those, though the tractor ride looks tempting!

ReplyDeleteHi Bill.
ReplyDeleteEverything is very expensive nowadays.
Greetings from Patricia.
The excavator is cute, but an expensive ride indeed.
ReplyDeleteIndeed Bill.
ReplyDeleteMy teeth hurt already! I had such a gum machine for my Nieces.
ReplyDeleteI think they took it home, LOL.
Expensive ride, that.
The bubble gum caught my attention. I remember when I was a kid paying 5¢ for 3 Double Bubble Gum.
ReplyDeleteGosto destes olhares.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

Lo del paseo por 2 euros, parece una tomadura de pelo.
ReplyDeleteThose kids rids are pretty expensive these days!
ReplyDeleteGreat.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to gum balls for a penny!? :)
ReplyDeleteI was just talking to someone today about the rise in grocery prices since COVID.
ReplyDeleteI can't recall the last time I had gum.
ReplyDeleteThe Bubble Gum machine does not look tempting, but if the kids are into Bob The Builder they might enjoy a ride on the tractor.
ReplyDeleteDon't see too many people chewing gum these days.
ReplyDeleteGenial fotografía. Uy que recuerdos al ver esa maquina de chicles. Te mando un beso .
ReplyDeleteWhat??? 50cents for a piece of penny bubble gum and 2 bucks for a 25cent ride. Oh my---I am out of step on those kind of things

I love the water.
ReplyDeleteHola!! cada vez todo es mas caro. Saludos
ReplyDeleteRipped jeans, fashionable in the 70's. I never thought that fad would last.
ReplyDeleteE agora em tempo de pandemia... tudo o que anteriormente já era caro... mais ficou ainda!
ReplyDeleteExcelentes imagens! Abraço!
