So you asked for 250 grams. Must have been chocolates or smoked salmon you asked for.
Half a kilo, and since a kilo is roughly 2.24 pounds, it's close enough for me, at least ;-)

And it was cold cuts, usually... or Wurst. Chocolates, I usually got the Lindt bars down at the train station. or the little chocolate covered jellies, typically bananas, oranges, or lemons. "twas good stuff, back then.
