Herbie! From "The Love Bug"Who remembers
Some kinda ice cream treat that don't remember ever seeing.Who remembers this one and the name of it
And that batter usually had raw eggs in it that no one cared about. I've licked plenty of beaters as a kid and still lived to tell about it.
The plastic cup treat was a screwball vanilla iced cream ( sometimes w/chocolate or strawberry swirl and in the bottom of the cup was a different flavored Gum Ball, weird concept and didn't go over too well.
Remember when electric can openers looked like this AND WORKED.
We bought a new one, not only was it a piece of junk but it only worked half the time
We took it back and got a different one, it wasn't much better but it does work, I want one of these good old ones

That is my exact can opener!!!! As far as I know, it still works, however, mine is packed in a box out in the shed because I don't have counter space for it in my tiny kitchen. I have to use a hand can opener that fits in the silverware drawer. My dad got me that electric can opener, and a matching hand beater, as a present when I got my first apartment at 17 years old. I still use the hand beater to this day. (The hand beater is a Sunbeam, but it's that same sick yellow color, LOL!)
OMG, I still battle those burdocks! Every morning, I have to pick them off the cow, or out of her tail, or off the dogs, or off my sleeves... It's a scourge!
Things were made to last back then, far more trusty than new stuff
Look what GREED has done to American integrity
I was told many times about how I never wore those disposable diapers. It was cloth or nothing. Parents these days will never know what it's like unless they happen to be Amish.

Yeah, that can opener and the beaters are 50 years old now, and probably cost less than $10 each when they were new.
Ewww, and let's not forget washing out the poopy ones in the toilet before throwing them in the washer. I'm sorry, I could never do that. I could barely watch mom do it. My mom did it for five kids, and if for nothing else, she should have gotten a medal for THAT.
Gah, every Sunday night at 7:00!
It's time to make the doughnuts! ROFL! I'm ancient! I still say that a lot of mornings when I'm getting out of bed. The cats just look at me like they don't know WTF a doughnut is. Stoopid cats.
Those glass grapes brought back a lot of memories. They were way prettier than the plastic ones my mom started with. Then she found some glass ones, and at least they looked like a table centerpiece. Hers were purple, very pretty.
Wow long time since I have heard that one, thank you for memory my friend

That was from an Alka-Seltzer commercial from 1972.Wow long time since I have heard that one, thank you for memory my friend
This came up after the Alka Seltzer commercial, what a ride! I remembered almost every one of them (some of them like it was yesterday), and totally didn't realize at the time how many big stars started out in commercials, LOL! Quite a trip down memory lane if you have 15 minutes or so to watch it.
