I dont remember ever getting food for free if it took more than 5 minutes..
I remember when I was about 14, I could buy:
a pack of smokes, cuz there was no age limit, and
a Marathon candy bar, because it lasted a long, long time, and
a can of pop, I liked Jolt, because it had, "all the sugar, and twice the caffiene" of regular pop....
all for less than a buck!
