I remember many hours of riding my bike along the road looking for pop bottles. Picking up all I could carry in a basket I rigged to the handle bars. Going to the grocery store, cashing them in, and buying Super man comics for 12 cents and some candy with the proceeds of the bottle sales, two cents per bottle.
We even used to pick up bottles, gather the whole $25 cents for the Saturday matinee at the movie theater. A second quarter was for candy and a coke. The matinee had a cartoon or two, the newsreel, a serial that continued last weeks serial, then the previews, and then the movie. We rode our bikes to the movie theater, parked out unlocked bikes outside the theater, and road home after the light came up. All with no parents hovering around.
