Whatever happened to $.17 a pack smokes
Whatever happened to $.17 a pack smokes
Whatever happened to $.17 a pack smokes. The outside of the Lucky
Strike pack was a different color. You could buy a Freulein in
Germany for a $.17 pack of cigarettes. Gas was $.25 per gallon and
they pumped your gas and washed your windows and checked your oil.
Remember the old gas wars? And you could smoke anywhere you pleased.
You could go to the movies and have a smoke. The clouds of smoke
could be seen on the light of the projector. The you had a choice of
2 television networks. Their sponsors were tobacco companies. The
anchormen were smoking on the air. Those were the days!
Now you are paying $4+ for your gas. German woman will turn their
noses up at American GIs, and the outdoor smoking lounge has been
invented. Chet Huntley and Edward R. Murrow died of lung cancer.
Several of the Marlboro men have died of cancer. And you are still
smokingj! Now what ever happened to the good old days?

Is this what you think about every night before you go to sleep?

Depending on the part of the country you were from. In Western New
York, there were only 2 stations. I was amazed when I went to NYC and
found that they had 4 or 5. I don't even remember which network was
the third add on. Now we have satelite and cable and can get past the
dumb shows on the main 3 networks.

You said "networks" not stations.
There were 4 until 1956 when DuMont stopped broadcasting.
