So that means we make about 13.5 times as much money now as we did then. Factoring in those numbers leads to a malted milk costing about $3.40 in today's money. That's just about right.

I can remember when baseball cards were .25 a pack and you got like 20 cards. Now it seems $2.50 gets you about 4-6 cards.
