This is for older folks like me. I am 70. Rick and I still call them milk nickels. The looks on the grandkids' faces mirrors the faces we got from our kids in the early 1980's, when we offered them milk nickels.
Of course, the phrase came from what it cost in the 1960's. Just like candy bars and a pack of gum were 5 cents, so were milk nickels. A box of six could be purchased at the local market for thirty-nine cents, just like a box of candy bars were .39.
The Haagen Daaz (spelling?) at Sam's Club are pretty good, smaller bars, about .40 each in the giant quantity box, so not bad.
