A conversation about products or icons of our childhood made me think that my children have never heard of so many of these things. Some products may still be sold. How many of these to you remember?

I think the candy was Necco's and the diet little squares that were chewy were called "Ayds". Do you also recall Walnetto candy and candy cigarettes? Or a fav was also bubble gum cigars and the little wax bottles with colored and flavored fluid inside. If we coud get Charms wrapped candy it was a treat as well. Wampum was the earliest corn chip I ever remember and there was a special hot dog bun called a Weiner Wagon. The bun was not sliced, just kind of had a little trench in the middle that you placed the hot dog in and it was kind of like eating it open faced. Oh... those were the good old days.

I still have my chatty cathy. If you pull the string she still talks but now it sounds like she has had a few drinks.
ReplyDeleteOh Chatty Cathy was my favorite. That's neat that you still have yours, Sher.
ReplyDeleteI had my Barbie doll until I moved last year. Laura never cared about it and no one wanted it so I sold it on Ebay.
So sorry to hear about your stroke. I hope family, friends and happy memories can help bring a smile to the trials life can bring sometimes.
