Who remembers this guy
Eeeuuwwww, I never liked that guy. I don't know why he was so popular. Maybe because we weren't already overrun with trans weirdos back then? Just eeuuww. Yes, I have no sense of humor! I'm going to tiptoe through the tulips and retreat now!
What is the nickname the guy on the right gave his Jeep?
Here's one from my childhood, most might not get this one
I don't remember.... I was more of a Sky King fan back in the day.
I wish that were true! LOL!
How many Baby Boomers Remember "the Kids' table" at Thanksgiving dinner? Who Sat at it? How old were You when You "moved on Up" to the Adults' Table at Thanksgiving Dinner?
Being the eldest child, I was lucky enough to never have to sit at the Kid's Table. I always got to sit with the grown-ups.
I think I was a little bit spoiled. I even got a wine glass, but no wine in it, I got juice instead. Didn't matter, I FELT grown up. 
Me, too!
I forgot to mention Get Smart. That was one of my favorite shows! I loved the shoe phones and the Cone of Silence. Agent 86 was the best!
I may not be a "boomer", but am old enough to remember the kid's table. At gatherings, I had to sit at them until there were no such kid's tables anymore.How many Baby Boomers Remember "the Kids' table" at Thanksgiving dinner? Who Sat at it?

An old jeep was just an old jeep in the 50s they all look alike.Good guess but not right, it was Nelly Belle
Clarabelle was on a different show
Yes but Clarabelle was a clown on Howdy Duty show
I was close
In the 1950s, nap time was considered an essential part of the kindergarten experience, reflecting educational philosophies that emphasized the importance of rest for children's growth and well-being. After lunch, children would settle on mats or cots in classrooms designed to give each child their own personal space. Teachers created a tranquil atmosphere by dimming the lights and encouraging quiet, helping the children relax and prepare for the rest of their day.
Music played a significant role in enhancing the calming environment during nap time. Classical compositions like Debussy’s *Clair de Lune* and Beethoven’s *Moonlight Sonata* were often selected to create a serene mood. Traditional lullabies such as *Brahms' Lullaby* and soothing sounds from nature, like flowing streams or rustling leaves, helped further promote relaxation. Occasionally, familiar 1950s songs like Nat King Cole's *Mona Lisa* added a comforting touch to the atmosphere.For many children, nap time was a much-needed respite from the busy activities of the day. Teachers helped guide the children into a restful state, offering gentle support and ensuring the time was beneficial. This quiet period not only allowed the children to recharge but also played a vital role in shaping a peaceful and productive day, making nap time in the 1950s a valuable component of early childhood education.

Coppertone Suntan
Just looking at that picture gives me the warm fuzzies. I felt so SAFE back then. Nothing bad ever happened. Ever.
Coppertone! But where's her tan line? The original ads showed a tan line.

I haven't seen or used one, but I guessing it's for putting oil into your car's engineWho has ever used this, or even seen one
Yes and they were really cool too you just put a can of oil in place and squeeze the trigger, it punctured the can and the oil drained into the funnel. They were replaced w/the newer one that you stuck into the can by hand then poured. The old timers were the best because you could get a can ready, get the funnel in place then pull the trigger and put your oil in without spillin any on the valve cover
Who remembers this canned puke
I never saw that before! Thank God I missed it!
