I saw it the first time in 1956. And it still exists today. Somethings are timeless. LOL
What are you talking about? We ate margerine in the 50's
and 60's like all right thinking Americans. I never even heard
of Land O Lakes till I was an adult.

Quote: EvenBobMy first taste of Mexican food was Swanson Mexican TV
dinners in 1960. Every Fri my dad would bring them home with
a loaf of French bread and we loved them. It was a ritual
for years and we really looked forward to Friday nights.
I also ate the aluminum tray TV dinners as a child. Absolutely loved 'em. Still do. At $1 apiece, I stock up on Banquet Mexican and eat 'em for breakfast a few times a week, adding onion, cheese, jalapenos black olives, etc. I think the mexican ones are less fatty and child-centric than the rest of their offerings.

Not my fault you don't know the secret about what's behind the Indian maiden's package of butter.
I only knew because I worked in a grocery store. Was 22 before I bought butter!

Anyone given castor oil? I never got any, but always heard someone did.
I remember watching some TV show where the lady "swallowed her tongue".
I think I worried about that for the next six months. I'm going to swallow my tongue and and choke to death.
Also, hope you don't get polio, or end up in a iron lung. Although the idea of an iron lung was kind of fascinating.

There were also Balsa Wood Gliders for 19c, and you could get a bi-plane model for a quarter. The last time I ever saw these the Glider was 49c and the Biplane 69c.
Some people need to reimagine their thinking.

They were a dime in the 50's, I got them all the time. There
were different tricks you could use to get them to fly better.
Why was the gum that came with baseball cards almost unchewable.
And it tasted like cardboard.

It was stiff as a piece of tile. As I recall it didn't last too long either.
Bazooka Joe was my favorite, but mostly because of the comic, not the gum. That gum was fairly hard too.
