Supposed to represent the skinny waistline that saccharine would give you. Or the chemo. TaB tasted like battery acid, I remember that about it. It was horrible. The only carbonated beverage the grandparents had in the house when I was their 10 year old indentured servant for the summer. Was either that or straight up cranberry juice, or some prune juice. The water was sulfury. Old people be drinkin some sheeit 🤮🤮 They had "Moxie" in Maine. Tasted like a carbonated water filled ashtray and burnt wood. Old people thought it was great!!!! Some stupid sign of acheivement in their minds drinking it..... Geuss when your taste buds connection to the brain is fried. It tastes good to em.....

When I was a kid, some of the cereal boxes actually had 45 rpm records incorporated into the back of the box. When the box was empty, just cut it out and play it on your record player. I had forgotten all about those!

Wow this opened up the memory bank!
We have a Monkees and a Bobby Sherman record from the back of cereal boxes.
My Mother gave my wife her blue Shirley Temple glasses that were Jelly jars.
I used to get miscellaneous foreign coins from Life cereal!
My favorite was when I was around 3 or 4 when Cap'n Crunch I believe first came out(1963-64?), for some box tops and a buck or so you get a genuine plastic replica Guppy sailing ship.
My Grandmother saved some box tops and sent for it for me. I couldn't wait for it to come! Seemed like 6-8 weeks took decades! She lived straight down a small road and she called for me to come over she had a surprise for me.
It was cold! Like zero or colder......real cold. Mom bundled me up and off I went.
Grandma was waiting for me with a huge smile. She unbundled me and we opened the box. There it was in all its glory! The most beautiful genuine replica plastic Guppy.
I couldn't believe it! I wanted to go straight home to show my older sister and Mom.
So, Grandma bundled me back up with my giant mittens.
And off I went. I want 30 feet from Grandmas house and I turned around to Wave goodbye and dropped it! It shattered into a bazillion little pieces!
Honest toGod, I remember the details of that day and that Guppy like it was yesterday!,
Thank you,
Ed

Back at the same time jelly came in containers that made good drinking glasses. We had the whole Flintstone collection. I remember those. We had them, too. ![[Linked Image from i.pinimg.com]](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/48/f7/a9/48f7a93c511994752302d48ae2397e2c.jpg) Yep. We had those too.

People really get weird when you puke in a pool at a party. yukon jack Cutty sark scotch Sicker than a schit house dog drinking that stuff as teenager. One time each..... Never again..... Yukon jack will turn my mouth sour if I smell it. Worse.... Big ole plastic half gallon Popov vodka mixed with grape koolaid . Barrrrrffffff!!!!! Lol!!!

Cutty Sark isn't great, but not dangerous per se either. Somehow I think it was a quantity issue.

The wife said it was the only toys they got.
Christmas they got clothes, homemade at that. Lol
I have to listen to that chit several times a year. Old geyser used to tell how his parents allowed the kids (all boys) just two gifts apiece. He happened to be the youngest and was told he would get clothing and something to play with. He got his older brothers pants with a hole in the pocket........

A vaguely remember a flat plastic card that you snapped parts out of and with the use of an elastic band had a tiny helicopter. Don't remember if it was cracker jacks or cereal but I remember it didn't fly worth chit

I remember the little submarines you put baking soda in. They never worked like they said. Pretty disappointing. Thinking back they might have worked better if you dropped them in vinegar instead of water.
I remember getting prizes in cereal boxes and cracker jacks but don't remember what I got.

Had a model corsair done up right in my room. Partying one weekend. Pappy Boyington and his boys drank cutty sark on the show. So I did one time... Bout half a 5th.... Barf.......... LOL!!!
