It's sort of like that at this local function hall as the soda machine is only a buck and we're always spending our first tips on a can.
But yeah, I do love that scene. The caddy comes in, wiped out and thirsty, just dying for a cold Coke and finds out the price went up. Danny was just goading him by drinking it (I would have went after him with a five iron). He even throws in that little "know what I mean?" before drinking it. -

I know, right? A bottle of coke at Kroger where I work is like $1.50 if it's on sale. Otherwise it's $1.75. Every once in a great while it's $1.25. Also Danny and Tony were rivals and I think it was more that Lou favored Danny over Tony. Thankfully there's not stuff like that going on at my work.

i was born in 70 and i can definitely remember cokes like that being 0.35 from a machine. one of those side door jobs that held the bottles in place and you had to yank them to get one.
i don't recall a lower price though.
calls from a pay phone were 0.10 too. what's a pay phone.
a pay phone that's where superman changed.
Thread ender.

I was born in '72 and remember Cokes being around 35 from the machines with the glass side doors! Pay phone around 15 and the Sunday paper was 50! 50! for a HUGE Sunday Paper! Gosh I miss those days $3 for a friggin' Sunday Paper for the coupons is a complete rip-off now. I refuse to pay for it. And they did it so they wouldn't have to compete with Dollar General or Dollar Tree and lose money with them selling $2 papers for $1. But at $3 was when the dollar stores drew the line. I do remember when Cokes went up to 50 and seeing 20 oz at Six Flags for like 75 or $1.00 and thinking how stinking HIGH that was back then! That was probably back when the Okeefenokee Swamp with the Remus characters were still in the plantation before it became the Monster Plantation and the crooked house that 'broke' physics in the Spanish area miss that stuff OH! And you could ride down the river in a glass bottom boat and cowboys or Indians would shot at you from the sides! It was all fake, but it was so cool! Miss those days and candy bars were like 35 to 45 each too before Nascar and the Clinton admin increased taxes and the like and candy went up double time in the early 90's crazy. Used to buy the 5 - 6 Reese cup package for like 99 and a box of Little Debbies were 89 not $1.99. Great, now I'm missing the early 90's! Ugh prices are so out of hand now.
