Little Kiddles!! There were in a perfume bottle and the little doll smelled like the scent...Lilac, Lavender, Honeysuckle, etc. Wish I stil had them!

PSYCHOcatholic Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Lil Nips! Loved them. That wax and the sugary syrup inside. Mmmmm. How about the Buttons on the register-roll paper? Both of those things are STILL good! You can find them in very rare places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Were Coca Cola pants mentioned? Those were pants (with huge bell bottoms) that had the Coke logo all over them. Wear that with a denim bucket cap with a smiley face on the front and you are set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 any girls remember the Chrissie and Velvet doll where you could make their hair grow by pushing a button?? I still have my Chrissy doll! Honest! I always figured maybe someday she'd be worth some money. And I had a purple mushroom lamp, I remember that. I never had the Little Kiddles but we did have Upsie-Downsies. And the dome umbrellas... used to love to walk in the rain with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Anyone remember Shrinky Dinks? I don't even know how to describe them, but you'd color in a picture drawn in some sort of plexiglass(?) and then stick it in the oven. It would shrink and make a clear Christmas ornament type thing. We also had a weaving loom, but all we made were potholders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Jenny I remember them!! And all we made were pot holders too!! And we did the God's Eye with they yard and the sticks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 oh yeah, I remember those things! I just never knew they were called Shrinky Dinks! I also remember the God's Eye thing... wow... I would never EVER remember this stuff without this prodding into the deepest recesses of my memory... how haunting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I have remembered so much of this stuff with this thread...and I love it!! A lot of great memories coming back...I know she wasn't a fad since she is still around but I was so into Barbie. I even stole my brothers GI Joe so he could beat up Ken and win over Barbie!! Then Midge and P.J and Stacey would fight over Ken. God, I was bizzare as a pre-teen!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtstuff Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 For me it was hula hoops, marbles, Davey Crockett hats, slot car racers, and Rockem-Sockem robots. Man that was cool. rtstuff Home of the Thundering Herd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtstuff Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Bonimo sp? Turkish Taffy, Man I loved vanilla and bananna. You could slam it on your old wooden top desk at school and it would crack up into smaller pieces that were easier to eat. Speaking of candy I loved the sour apple and sour grape balls that you could chew as bubble gum after you crunched on them for a while. What about those little wax shaped bottles that had colored flavored liquid in them? Do they still make this stuff? rtstuff Home of the Thundering Herd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I didn't know where to post this so here it is...does anyone remember a book that came out in the 70's "Go Ask Alice"? It was about a teen girl on drugs, then became a TV movie. Well it is being reissued in paperback for it's 35th anniversay. We had to read the book at school and do a report on it, the school was big on all reading it so we would not fall into drugs. Well for some of us we still did...but the book is a good read. Just wanted to share and see if anyone else remembers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it cause a friend of mine insisted... after that experience I had the urge to go and see my dealer... I´m sorry if I offended you, girls, not my intention... it´s just that by then most of us knew what drugs were about...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Edna you didn't offend me at all...we had to read the book....and I was just getting to the age where my friends and I were getting into drugs...I never tripped as bad as "Alice" but had fun...in fact the book made me even more interested in trying drugs...ok call me dumb...it was the 70's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
