Me too! Every two weeks I had to go to the allergist to get a shot. This was before it was common to give them at home. In the medical complex, there was a gift shop right across the hall from Dr. Bannister's office. For a long time, my ritual was to get a Marathon bar (for a quarter) after each shot. I think it was circa 1976 so I would have been 8 years old.

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
