I just couldn't resist this when I found it on ebay!! Fond memories!!

OH my goodness! I very vaguely remember this! When did it come out?

Not to date you or anything, but they first appeared in the Lil' Abner comic strip in 1948 and quickly became a national craze!

Just looked it up and apparently was around until the '70's. I was born in '55, so I was definitely around when it was 8-)

For a minute or two I was feeling young, until you said when it was around. I was around, but just don't remember it.

I was born in 55 too, but I don't remember this one!

I'm old enough to remember it but I dont.

Schmoo! I guess I am "old" enough - hee hee!

Born in 53 here and I remember them but the memory is fuzzy. I don't remember what they did.

I was born in 1950 and have never heard of Shmoos. But I lived in Iowa in my early years, and our television (yes, tv's HAD been invented by then) only had two channels and a test pattern, so it's entirely possible I missed out on the fad.

Shmoos are from the newspaper comic strip Lil' Abner, not from TV.

What is a Schmoo? What did it (he?) do?

I can vaguely remember them. I didn't til I saw the picture.

I remember them from the Sunday funny papers. Weren't they all-purpose friends that even tasted like ham? I remember that they were blobby, white, a,d always happy.

I always loved the Lil Abner cartoon but I only vaguely remember the Shmoo

OH MY!!! I'd forgotten about them!! LOL Thanks for the memories!
