Little Popcorn Store Trivia #7

QUESTION

In a 1958 news clipping from the Chicago Daily News, it was reported that
the store sold how much worth of popcorn?

  • $5,000
  • $15,000
  • $45,000
  • $105,000

ANSWER

 

With nearly 100,000 customers from all over the Chicago area, the store made $15,000. The article went on to say that some people came from as far away as Milwaukee for "the tastiest popcorn found anywhere". When adjusting for inflation, $15,000 from 1958 would be around $122,000 today!
