I have visions of the root beer barrels at the candy shop (the candy shop was set up in the living room space in the home of an elderly lady in my neighborhood). She had all the candies in glass gallon jars with silver lids. It took my brothers and me forever to spend our 2 pennies.

I think we were imagining similar memories, Barbara. This is wonderful to see your writing about tastes. I have wild strawberries in my garden & the grand-girls love to find and pick them. And I'd forgotten about the rootbeer barrels. That really is an old memory for me.
