31. I like it all, but it depends on the balloon...

The local mall was quite close to our house as a kid, it was only 2 streets away.

There was an Eckerd Drug Store there with a soda bar and balloons hanging from strings all around the bar. Each balloon had a dollar amount or FREE on a piece of paper inside, pop the balloon and see what you got.

It was always either half price or free.

2 scoops Vanilla, hot fudge, nuts, cherry on each scoop and a soda.

Halfway through I would scoop some vanilla ice cream into the soda…

Yum
