Has anyone tried this new flavor yet? If so, what did you think about it.

My uncle gave me one of the best gifts ever on my birthday: Lite-Bright, made by Hasbro. I used to have so much fun with all cool colors in the dark.

This was one my all-time favorite activities to have fun with as a child. Perfect rainy day activity.

I will never forget the first time I watched this Sci-Fi classic on TV in the early 1970s. I have loved it ever since.

This was my favorite brand of root beer as a child. I even loved their popsicles as well.

The plastic flying disc known as the Frisbee was officially introduced by the Wham-O toy company on January 23, 1957, when they began production on the aerodynamic design. It evolved from college students tossing metal pie tins from the Frisbie Pie Company.

I remember spending 25¢ at the supermarket in the dispenser machines as a kid, and buying these small rubber balls in the 1970s. My cat loved chasing after the small ones, and would bring them back to me after throwing them. It was a fun time.

I loved watching these educational shorts on TV as a kid. Even my teacher recommended that we watch Jailhouse Rock, as he felt we might learn something from it.

My grandfather had a Quasar TV set built by Motorola, and it lasted for 20+ years.

How many of us remember seeing these being sold on TV?

How many of us remember using this device in the 1970s and 80s?

In 1979, Milton Bradley introduced a revolutionary new Sci-Fi, futuristic tank, utility vehicle that was really cool. Half the fun was programming the unit to follow a chain of commands. My former neighbor Johnny had one of these, and told me the Big Track lead him to become a computer programmer for life.

Workers are building both of these buildings on the south side of East Michigan Ave. at Broadmoor. Any idea what’s being built at this location?

Growing up in the 1960s and 70’s, Hi-C was a favorite of mine. Cherry 🍒, Grape 🍇, and Orange 🍊 were my favorites. What was your favorite flavor? 😀

My father had one of these by his recliner in the living room when I was a kid. You pull the ear, and a cigarette comes out the rear. Classic 1970s.

When I was six years-old, my doctor did a blood test on me and said I was anemic. He told my mother that I need more iron in my diet, and recommended Pals’ Vitamins. Along with “liver and onions” once a week. The vitamins were great, but the “liver and onions” was torture.

The first time I saw this episode in the early 1970s, it totally freaked me out, along with my babysitter. She was really upset. She suffered from entomophobia, which is the fear of insects, and this episode really sent her over the edge.

In the summertime, the melodious sound of the ice cream truck coming down the street where you lived, was part of a daily ritual in many parts of Canada and the USA. It was a part of growing up that I really miss today.
