Back in the 70’s, my little friends and I regularly searched under our couch cushions to scrape up spare change. Dad was notorious for napping on the couch with pockets full of change, so we usually scored pretty well. We often took that change to the drugstore to get cheap ice cream cones… they seriously had the best ice cream. Rite-Aid has now taken over that chain, and they actually still carry some of those same great flavors… like Chocolate Malted Crunch, Pecan Praline and Butter Brickle....
