A fantastic banana split, covered with mounds of whipped cream and sprinkled with nuts with a cherry on top, served at the Ben Franklin Five & Dime in San Mateo, California cost about 75 cents when I was a girl (about fifty years ago). For less than $5.00, I could get a hot dog, a banana split, go to the matinee, buy a box of candy, and still have change for the bus home. Don't you wish we could relive some of those prices???
