$20?!?! I would have assumed like $5 for a tooth! I used to get $1, which was enough for 2-4 candies at the local drugstore, depending on whether I went full-on candy bars or the second-tier stuff like the caramel on a stick, (upsettingly, in retrospect) named “Sugar Daddies”, or the rarely-seen full-stick Jolly Ranchers (same size as Air Heads).

…Let’s maybe be kind about how much of my brain may or may not still be occupied with the candy section of that local pharmacy.

Look, I could justify this by saying the squishable would have cost even more, but if I'm being totally honest here... we only had $20s in our wallets

Highly relatable, very reflective of our mostly-cashless era, makes perfect sense 😆❤️

I have a small collection of singles leftover from who knows when in my wallet. When those run out I don’t know what I’ll do….Buy something with cash back and request singles? Is that still a thing?

And in my day the tooth fairy left behind a dime. But I totally get the "who-has-change-for-a-20" excuse!
