I used to be a "material" girl, too - "fabric " was kind of high 'falutin. Guess we've all come a long way! |
Your are not the only one. I've told my children about that since they were small. I use to 'help' my grandmother mix this when she would get it. I loved to watch it turn yellow. Oh, those were the days. LOL I am 72.

I remember too - your not the only one. I'm 80 and remember having to squeeze that stuff when I was married like you really have time eh?

Well I'm 63 years old and I remember my folks buying oleo. They would buy it in Wisconsin as it wasn't sold in Minnesota at that time Minnesota was a diary State only real butter was sold.
