Pushed by this entry over at Sgt Stryker's Daily Briefing about having a first flight in a Stearman in 1962 for "a penny a pound", I found the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Consumer Price Index calculator. I'm not convinced. Back in 1984 there was an ice cream shop in Newtown Connecticut that ended up on the tail end of many of my bike rides. I believe that for $.35 you could get a soft-serve cone, and I think that for $.75 you could get a soft-serve cone big enough that I, a sixteen year old who'd just burned a thousand or two calories, had trouble getting through it.
Can you get a small soft-serve cone anywhere nowadays for $.70?
