 Our kids will relive the glory days of penny candy at corner stores, but with sats.

 We'll be able to say: I remember the times when one candy costed a whole bitcoin 
 Since sats aren't physical, you will be able to by metal tokens at my general store so that they can relive the satisfying plunk of dropping a token into the slot and cranking the handle to get the candy. 
 "That and a nickel will get you a candy bar"

Actual english phrase used when someone places undeserved value on something!

 I had penny candy in the 80s. I enjoyed going to the store around the corner from my dad's office to get Tootsie rolls and Swedish fish. 🥹 
 I'm old enough to have had a cousin run a small general store down the street from my house, in a fuckin' suburb, where we could get bread, eggs, candy and canned goods, dry goods, and lunch meat daily.  This needs to be brought back. also, fuck HOAs 
 I remember ha'penny sweets when I was a kid in the 70's.
Could buy 20 chocolate imps for 10p whenever I was lucky enough to be so loaded. 
 at least our grandkids
