I remember Bosco and the glass bear that it came in. When you finished the chocolate syrup, the glass bear became a bank.
How about slinkies as well as the very first Swiss Army knife that had 10 accessories. Anyone remember those little tools sets that they sold in the drug store around Father's Day. I think they cost $1.89 and came in plactic pouches and how proud you were when you gave it to your Dad on Father's Day. And Wonder Bread that helped to build your body in 12 different ways. (I'm still waiting and it sure didn't help my cranial hair to grow)

Kool Aid stands where you sold a glass of ice cold Kool Aid for a nickle and the mailman always bought at least two glasses when he saw you. Collecting for the Red Cross door to door in your neighborhood and everyone receiving a little red feather lapel pin. Since I attended a Catholic grade school, we always had a competition on who could sell the most "Catholic Exponent" newspapers, and whoever was the highest seller received an extra nickle per subscription sold. How about "mortal sins" verses "venial sins" and that mystical Catholic holding area called "limbo" ?
