Thanks for the post. Our margarine had a red dot in the middle of the package that you had to break and then squeeze the whole thing to make it yellow. We used to love to do that. I remember peeking thru my grandparents window to see B&W TV. Talked to my DGC about all of the things they have now and they just looked at me funny and said they couldn't believe I was ever young. Ran my hand/arm thru a wringer washer more than once. At least the rollers moved. We also had an ice box.BrendaK
