00:00 Do you remember mixed lollies?
00:02 Two for a cent. Four for two cents.
00:04 You do the maths.
00:06 Going to the corner shop with seven cents burning a hole in your pocket.
00:13 I have seven cents worth of mixed lollies, thanks mate.
00:17 I have some bananas.
00:21 I have milk bottles.
00:26 Ice creams.
00:29 Yeah, they're down a bit lower.
00:31 I want some false teeth.
00:33 Teeth, if one's on the tip of your tongue, yell it out loud.
00:36 Raspberries.
00:38 What?
00:40 Race cars?
00:41 Mint leaves.
00:44 I'm only six, you're confusing me.
00:47 I've only got seven cents and I want a red skin and they're two cents.
00:57 I'm trying to add it up as we go.
00:59 What really impressed me about this memory was how patient shopkeepers were back in the day.
01:09 Here was a man trying to provide for his family, selling lollies at half a cent at a time.
01:14 Here's some kid taking up half an hour, making some decisions about what lolly he's going to have.
01:23 What also impressed me about the shopkeeper was his lack of personal hygiene.
01:27 Because he'd always have a Winnie Red on the go.
01:31 And he wasn't using tongs, was he?
01:34 No, there you go matey.
01:37 Give you a couple of extra teeth, good on you.
01:39 Here we go.
