Last toaster I bought
was a good quality model that cost $50+, but on the next shelf they had
one for $8. In 1959 you could not find one equal to the $8 toaster made
in China (as was the expensive one)


Open a bank account in 1959 and they gave you a toaster


There was a Johnny Carson joke about buying a toaster
(in about 1980?) and they gave you a bank.


Now they want you to buy the bank to open an account, no toaster.
Instead of paying you interest they want you to pay them for having
account.
