[angelwind]

Hi everyone....

Does anyone member....
"Lucky Strikes"
candy cigarettes?

Oh my, I do remember thses...sure ate or smoked...my share. LOL

 

[angelwind]

Hi Y'all. I know I've been out of touch with this thread for a couple of days but I just had to tell you. We had breakfast at a place this morning that just fit this thread. They had old time coke "pop"/"soda" case the one where the lid flips up, an old scale (the kind that told your fortune or interesting facts about you and your future??..!!!), signs all over for Nehi, Grapette, Barqs Root beer, Ideal Bread, Wonder Bread, Double Cola, Tom's chips, etc...

Anyone remember Henny Youngman? How about the Cisco Kid, in keeping with the previous western theme?

Sounds like an old courty gas station or store we used to pass on the way to the "lake".

I do remembr the Cisco Kid...he was actually on tv recently on a new web channel...LOL

I remembered all but 2. And I probably would remember if I saw them. That is a great list! Thanks.

 

[fieldlily]

Oh, oh, I am older than I think. The only one which almost stumped me was P.F. Flyers. Those were children's red wagons, right??

 

[McWilliams]

Wow, what memories those evoke Larry! I remember when the kids were little and I was bringing in two glass gallons of milk from the front porch early in the morning and when I shut the door I barely touched the bottles together and they broke, the whole bottom falling on my toe, cutting it open! There I was with a mixture of two gallons of milk and the blood from my foot in the carpet! What did I worry about? The carpet of course! What a big mess!

I remember everyone of those so I guess that dates me for sure! LOL

The PF Flyers were kids shoes were they not? Mine loved theirs.

When I found that list it seemed like a good one to put on here. Some things we hadn't mentioned were on there. This is such a nice thread. It's good that everyone is participating.

Birfriend - "Radio Flyer" is a Red Wagon but I think you may have known that

No, didn't realize it until McWilliams posted about the PF Flyers.

When I was three or younger the folks got me a kids's fire engine red truck for Christmas...the kind you could sit in and drive. I very vaguely remember it, but we had pictures of me riding in it. I saw one very similar to it in an antique store on our recent trip. De Ja Vue!

 

[keeptrying]

Oh rats, I scored "older then you think".

 

[Hackett]

Red Flyer...of course now I remember. Thanks for refreshing my tired old brain.

I never had one because 'I was a dumb ol girl'...according to the boy accross the street.

how fun these memories are!!

 

[AngelDove1]

Oh rats, I scored "older then you think".

guess we're in the same boat....huh? LOL

 

[pilgrimgal]

My age is showing. I missed several. This is good, is it not?

Just curious. What is Butch wax?

 

[McWilliams]

Its what the little guys put on their flat top hair cuts to make it stand up straight.

I had forgotten that as well. LOL That makes me remember Alberto V05. Mother would saturate my hair with that stuff to help calm down all the tangles...
once the tangles were out she set my hair in stovepipe curls... such torture to endure.

 

[McWilliams]

That brings up another memory of when my mom would make me sit still while she curled my hair with a curling iron into curls like Shirley Temple wore! LOL! What misery to be beautiful! Then she would place a very large bow on a clip in my hair! So stylish we thought!

Didn't go through that for which I'm thankful but did do the butch wax thing for the flat top haircut. I do remember girls wearing those curlers with little spines running from them like a porcupine and just as dangerous

Ouch, I remember those curlers...trying to sleep with "orange juice can things" wrapped into my hair...

And sitting for an hour with a plastic bonnet on, blowing hot air to dry my curlers...wo...some things are better left in the past. LOL

 

[McWilliams]

O.K. heres one thats even worse to remember! When I was little and got my first perm it was with this huge electric thing over my head with wires that attached to the curlers on my head. Talk about a torture mechanism! It was awful and even scary to a little kid! Talk about the dark ages! Wow, I didnt know I was so old! LOL

 

[McWilliams]

Wow! I actually found a picture of that monstrous contraption!
Can you believe I suffered through this just to be 'pretty', then it didnt work! LOL
