They were available at five and dimes, candy stores, and some grocery
stores when I was a kid. I first found them at the Saturday movies. My
folks would give me a quarter and I would ride my bike the five blocks
to the Lamar Theater in Beaumont, TX. Cost a dime to get in and then you
could get a cold drink and a bag of popcorn for fifteen cents or a cold
drink and two nickel boxes of Whoppers for the same fifteen cents. You
got to see a couple of cliff hangers and then either a western movie or
a Tarzan movie. Then there would be contests for prizes. Go at 8 am,
turn you loose at noon. Cheap baby sitting.
