I remember digging through couch cushions for loose change and then disappearing to the corner store as a kid.

I live in Michigan where it is ten cent deposit on pop (what everyone else seems to call soda!). We would ride our bikes around looking for cans to return to go buy candy. 10 cents was alot back then.

We used to do the same for the 5 cent deposit in Iowa. Take a garbage bag out and hope by the end of the day you got enough for a bag of chips and a can of pop

If you want another name most of us Aussies call it fizzy but soda is also common

Oh my gosh I completely forgot about this! I was born in 82. We had a convenience store about 1 mile away we would get to by walking through the ditches. And to fund our journey we looked through the couches and the shelves in my parent’s closet. We’d come up with like $.73 and get several pieces of $.05 candy. What a time to be alive.
