That was the joke between my friends was when I was 11 years old. See, all quarter drinks were a quarter, all except for the ones in this one particular bagel store in the neighborhood – they charged 30 cents for their quarter drink.
So there we be, holding up these quarter drinks…
Â
“Hey, how much is this quarter drink?”
“30 Cents!”
So a couple of weeks ago when I NEEDED to find me a quarter drinkI searched all over, then I remembered this bagel store, and figured that even thoughI haven’t been there in ten years, it was my last straw of luck, and I would try it.
Low and behold the 30 cent bagel store had orange and red quarter drinks in stock. I picked one up excitedly, and immediately asked how much the quarter drink was, figuring inflation probably pushed the price of quarter drinks up to 50 cents…
“Excuse me, how much is this quarter drink?” I asked.
“Quarter drink.” The guy replied looking at my hand.
“Yeah, it’s a quarter drink. How much?” I repeated.
“It’s a quarter drink. A quarter!” He snapped back.
Apparently that guy forgets the days when his bagel shop sold quarter drinks at a premium…oh well.
