I remember Slurpee's. do they not sell them anymore?

Whenever my mom gave me a quarter, I would buy two 12 cent comic books.
My weekly allowance of 35 cents would buy a McD hamburger and small
fries...or sometimes more comic books. I have a collection of about 300
12-cent comics books now. I guess they won most weeks. This was in the early
1960's. Also loved candy bars then...only 5 cents then. :-) Payday was one
of my favorites.
