28. Twenty Boxes of Cookies
Boxes or tins of cookies, like the one seen above, were just 5 cents each. This meant that you could get twenty boxes for only a dollar. Most advertisements for cookies were aimed at children, just like today, even though we all know adults are sneaking in those sugary snacks, too. This sounds like an amazing deal, right? In reality, though, if a dollar was more like $30, it means each box of cookies would be $1.50 today, which is pretty normal.
