The Olden Days

We still have all that in Seattle, mostly at the dollar stores though. Pop Rocks were one thing I missed ... until I found them at the dollar store ... woohoo!

Pop Rocks were more the 80's! Trust me, the silly putty, etc., today are not what they were back when. I know, I bought the remakes for my own kids.

Silly putty today sucks. It doesn't even that the right smell.

Probably because the fda stopped them from making it with LEAD.

When I was 7 I wanted a pair of patent vinyl white lace up go-go boots more than anything in the world.

Another popular item was plastic cowboys & indians, they went well with the logs:

I still buy those for my classroom for the kids to play with at freetime.

THEY LOVE THEM! You can get a bag of them for a buck at the Dollar Store!

It's good some things haven't changed.

I remember buying my dad Aqua Velva every year for Father's Day.

Here in Indy, my dad was a Cubs fan first, a Reds fan second....since we don't have a professional baseball team.

I would get him Old Spice for Christmas.................
