Glasses were heavier than towels, but some of the dishes were about the same weight. So sometimes it was a guessing game and no one could tell what the prize was, the needed extra cup, or a cereal bowl like the 17 of them you already had.
Yep, I remember my brothers and I doing that with the detergent boxes. I remember everything listed. Boy! Am I old! My brothers had a friend with a '57 Chevy, and he decided he would teach me to drive it. I was about 15 at the time. Everything was fine till he made a pass at me when we were trading places in the driver's seat. He had been like a brother to me, up to that point. I never told my brother, but he wondered what had happened.
