I guess we were just as bad as the kids we ridicule today...
...when it comes to common sense . This bit of plastic from 1963 would be $2 in today's money. Not a big waste, but a complete one. The beauty of it is you need to keep buying the candy to make it a rocket :) And what kid isn't gonna keep needing refills? Brilliant marketing!
