I am a baby boomer, and this post really got me to thinking. Do you remember the following? Lik-M-Aid The opening of Disneyland Pink polio vaccine handed out on sugar cubes at the school Iron lungs News reels before a movie Double feature movies The Bobbsey Twins Getting your first extension phone Walnut Crush candy bars Chocolate or candy cigarettes Drive-in movies Candy priced at 2 or 3 for a penny Button candy strips The Howdy Doody Show Your first transistor radio Licorice Nibs Pop in glass bottles suspended in a cooler filled with ice water Blowing up a backyard pool with the vacuum cleaner Layers and layers of starched petticoats Woolworths, Kresges and Grants dime stores Cigarette vending machines in the lobby of the movie theatre balcony Shaeffer cartridge fountain pens Brush rollers and "ratting" your hair Aqua Net hair spray The familly's first tv Betsy Wetsy and Tiny Tears Fizzies The Weekly Reader and last but not least, The Lennon Sisters
