My mother has a full tin of cinnamon sticks circa late 1960s in her spice rack. It still has the price label on. by LearnStalkBeInformed

tomveiltomveil on September 30, 2024 7:39 pm Can one of the elder British redditors explain that price to me? Is it 3 pound, 6 shilling, 17.5 pence?
BBG1308 on September 30, 2024 7:41 pm Those little metal boxes are da bomb! We still have a metal Band-Aid box we keep our dice in. Pretty sure mine is more like 1980s though.
skyhighskyhigh on September 30, 2024 8:04 pm She could totally sell those sticks for like $5 now and make a hefty profit.
MoreThanWYSIWYG on September 30, 2024 8:17 pm How much does that weird base12 3/6 cost in today money?
Thiago270398 on September 30, 2024 8:23 pm Does the cinnamon still smell or do you just have some curly wood sticks now?
throw123454321purple on September 30, 2024 8:24 pm I think that cinnamon has since decayed into cardamom isotopes.
owie28 on September 30, 2024 8:29 pm Perfectly good to use if given a light sanding–the flavor will just pop right out again, lol
aRoseBy on September 30, 2024 8:57 pm My mother had spices with no ZIP codes. Prior to 1963, big city addresses in the US had zones, a single number. She didn’t use spices very much.

I think that level of spice use is common in the UK.

I thought it was a pack of cigarettes at first.
Those tins are awesome
Clearly a regretful purchase. She WAY overbought.
