My daughter brought a bag of circus peanuts yesterday and said I don't know why I brought these I hate them, but she needed something sweet & they were available, crazy kid,lol.Had my share of Mary Jane candy, surprised I still have all my teeth. So many great memories. How about the pageboy fluffs? Some really crazy hairdo's, don't believe me check out your yearbooks,lol..........Michele

How about Black Jack gum? Does anyone remember that? There was also Beaman's (sp) that was my favorite and Teaberry (sp). There's a store in a city not too far from here where you can still get it.

Oooooh Teaberry gum, that was my fave. There is a store in Cleveland, B A Sweetie that sells all this stuff. They also have an online site. http://www.groovycandies.com/pc/

I don't remember can can slips, but does anyone recall Nehru shirts, Madras fabric, or Dr. Kildare white shirts that buttoned to one side of center, with what I call a priest's collar (supposed to be a doctor look)? I loved my Dr. Kildare shirt.

Oh boy do I remember Nehru shirts and Madras. Wasn't Dr Kildare a cutie back then.

Oh, WOW!!! Thanks for this link. Out of curiosity and nostalgia I clicked on this link and discovered that they have just brought back Bonomo Turkish Taffy!!! Does anyone remember the jingle...B O N O M O spells Bonomo...Candy! Smack it and Crack it! I am definitely ordering some before it sells out! There has been a campaign for many years and many online petitions to get this candy back and the original formula has finally been released for production again. Vanilla was my favorite but there was chocolate, strawberry and banana too and they were all deliciously yummy!

Bananna turkish taffy was my favorite. Yum will try to order some.

Hairdo's in those days certainly was weird. I thought I had a migrain headache for 4 days in my senior year. It was caused from teasing my hair so tight rofl. I have worn short hair ever since.

Had a cancan skirt when I was real young but half way thru high school we switched to go go boots and mini skirts rofl. Remember the teachers measuring the length and sending us home if to short. So yoiu rolled them up and let them down when you spotted them chefcking. WOW what memories.lol :lol:

How funny! I went to an all girls Catholic high school and we had to wear uniforms. We always rolled up our skirts after school and went to the neighborhood hangout to meet up with the boys from the boys' high school. Sometimes the nuns would be waiting for us to catch us with our skirts rolled up! They also cut our bangs if they were too long. But we did have one very elderly nun who sold Avon during Latin class so when we didn't want to read Homer and Cicero in Latin we would get her to show us the new Avon catalog and products. And go-go boots and mini-skirts...oh, yeah...I did that too! When my kids were teenagers I could never criticize their clothing choices because I would quickly be reminded of all the "fashions" I wore when I was a teen!

What a lovely memory. Sure does take me back...WAY back.

And recently, in a massively slow de-cluttering, I found one of a daughter's old, Avon I think it was, lip balm shaped like an ice cream cone!! I sent it to her...she is a grandmother now and will probably have it for them to play with.

Gads...my daughter is a GRANDMOTHER!!!! Now I feel real old..our would if I had time to think about it.
