Back in the day, you could go to Long John Silvers and for the low, low price of only a dime, you could get a cardboard container full of their crunchies/crispies. Yep, it only cost a dime. And the container had a hell of a lot more than the container in this picture.
In the summers of my days in elementary school, I would go with my neighbor Alice to her beauty parlor appointment on Fridays. Grandma would give me money for a snack and lunch after the appointment.
Alice's beauty parlor was in a shopping center just two doors down from a Long John Silvers. Many a Friday I remember going down to Long John's while Alice was sitting under the dryer and spending ten cents of my money on a cardboard container of their crunchies/crispies. They rocked. Of course they were just drip off from the batter, but nobody cared. They were crunchies and they were cheap and they rocked. If you were to get a container today, it would come with a dozen warnings about the oil and trans fats, and would probably cost a buck.
