i think you can still get that stuff
ok forums are being weird again
I have ate many many cookies made with these old cookie cutters
I still have a couple of those. A Christmas tree and a Santa, handed down from my Nana to my mom, and then to me. There used to be a lot more, but maybe some of the other kids got some. I still use mine to this day when I'm making Christmas sugar cookies.
I'd put little smiley faces on the tops with a marker. Then I had dolls.Remember when cloths pins looked like this

I had an Easy Bake oven! I used to make my mom cakes for breakfast on the weekend. My poor mother... I also had Clackers! Mine were purple with glitter specks inside. I loved those Clackers. Again, my poor mother... (LOL!) I also had a viewmaster, but that wasn't as annoying as all those cakes for breakfast and me walking around clacking all day long! LOL!

I liked the ribbon candy when I was a kid. My Nana always had lots of it around at Christmas time. But as an adult? NOPE. It's just sugar. Pretty, but way too sweet!
Remember when they had TV Guide
OK, I'm so old, I remember when the Portland, Oregon TV Guide was 10 cents, and it was stapled, because there were so few pages. The last time I paid for a subscription, I think they were 75 or 95 cents each, and bound like a damn BOOK. They were mostly articles and drug ads by then, so I quit my subscription. I had cable by then anyway, and I just started using the on-screen guide.
Is TV Guide even still around?
I also had a 60's vintage Schwinn bike, blue like the one in the picture above, but mine had little pinstripes on the fenders, and of course, it was a girl's model. It also had a "package rack" flat thing on the back, over the rear wheel, so I could ride my sister on it behind me. She was still too little to have a bike yet.
And I had two Barbie dolls. My first Barbie was one of the originals. Short red hair, no bendable legs, red one-piece bathing suit and little plastic red high heels. Then I got a more modern one a few years later, with longer blonde hair, and legs that bent at the knee, wowza! Can't remember what that one was wearing, but it was probably another onesie. I don't know why I was so fascinated with those, I never got "wardrobes" for them to play dress up and they didn't DO anything. I must have had much simpler tastes back then, LOL!
My mom always seemed to have a big candy dish full of the stuff. And my dad always had a small tin of real deal (Salmiak) licorice candies he kept in his shirt pocket right next to his cigarettes.Loved this Christmas candy so colorfully and pretty at Christmas Time .What about you did or do you like Ribbon Candy??
Okay I honestly do love this song even if it is about Thanksgiving. It's still funny as hell and Arlo is just cool as heck. In an odd way he reminds me of his dad.
Very sad indeedAlice just passed away.
Total senior moment I forgot to mention that those (Salmiak) candies I mentioned earlier are still being made and easily bought online.

Jimi, I love this beautiful candy. It's still made in USA at the Hammonds candy factory in Denver. The ones with red and green stripes together are clove flavor, my favorite.
Here in SA, Central Market carries it, but as tempting as it is, I don't buy it anymore. It's a really expensive tooth rotter.
There are so many old candies that have disappeared that I usedta just love.
There was one hard candy that was square and came wrapped in a deep red cellephane wrapper, it was licorice flavored that I loved but this was when I was 4 or 5, talkin ancient times there
if you want to get licorice just go to that link i put up earlier...oh what the heck i'll drop it again.There are so many old candies that have disappeared that I usedta just love.

They don't make THESE anymore, either?? What is the world coming to?
Edit: Whew! I just checked. They're still available all over online, and at Walmart.
