Remember when red M&M's were banned?

I actually took a bunch of red M&Ms and hid them in my desk drawer when that happened. I thought they might be of value some day.

Remember the tan M&M? That was my favorite.

Do you remember the blow-up petticoat? (I'm not teasing.) The one with the plastic tube around the bottom of the slip, and you'd blow it up to make your skirt stand out better?

• Remember when almost every kid wanted to "go outside and play"?
• . . . when (and this may have only been a California '50s thing) you "got" to go to summer school and there were cool half-day classes and field trips?
• . . . when most of the high school boys drew pictures of cars instead of gang grafitti?
• . . . 29 Mule Team Borax?
• . . . when half the school walked home for lunch?
• . . . when all the TV channels bedded down for the night?
• . . . when you called a Product Help Line and the "helper" didn't keep interrupting you and acting like you need her more than she needs a job?
• . . . when Monty Montana came to the grade school and showed you how to rope and lasso and told you why you should be good citizens?

'Scuse me. I'm going to go lay down someplace and cry for a while.
