I seem to remember they were 10 cents each in 1962.
You can now buy them frozen in a big box at the market.

Tiny square hamburgers.
Krystal is one fast food joint that serves them.
White Castle is the other.

Mother would give my sister and I a dollar each. We would ride the trolley to "town" aka Atlanta. We would have 2 Krystals and a coke each, see a Disney movie and ride home. The dollars were gone, but that was a real treat! This would have been in the mid to late 1950's.
