Lucky Strike - can't strike back

[ginscpy]

a weirdo game in the 50s and 60s - where if you saw a Lucky Strike cigarette package and stepped on it first - you were fair-game to give your companion a shot.

Anybody remember???

cig smoking was mainstream

illegal drugsvirtually nonexistent

The Lucky Strike game was beforethe dangers ofsmoking were known.

Always thought my parents were square because they were on e of the few in their social group that dindt smoke.

Don't remember that one.
Whenever we spotted a "four-hole Buick" first one to call it got to hit the others.
Oh yea- you could hit twice- once for each side of the car LOL.
And you had to say "no return" otherwise you'd get hit back.
Also VW Beetles. Those were "slug Bugs".

That's because most drugs were legal back then. Amazing how they were criminalized and THEN became a problem.

Punch buggie rainbow, no punchbacks. Yeah that's still around, at least as of circa 2000.

L.S.M.F.T....Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. I remember when the Military encouraged smoking by including a four pack of cigarettes in every C-ration meal.

Always thought my parents were square because they were on e of the few in their social group that dindt smoke.

A lot of my parents friends died of lung cancer.

They had these investment club meetings among groups of 10 couples. (actually the meetings were more social than anything else.)

Once a month - rotated among the 10 members.

When the meetings were done at my parents house - you needed a wind-blower to clear the air.
