All my life I have kept track of where the rear exit was, and always escaped when the squad cars came with flashing lights to any venue where I was. Best to just walk away before you even know what it's about.

See? There's that dog again.
I used to sing the "You'll look better in a sweater washed in Woolite" under my breath before I rolled the ball when I was in junior bowling league. I have no idea why, or how it started, but it just became a habit, like my good luck chant, ROFL!
I wonder how many of these I actually remember?
1. Oscar Mayer, of course
2. (I'm stumped, I don't recall that one right off the top of my head)
3. Kit-Kat bars
4. Folger's
5. Almond Joy and Mounds bars
6. Coca-Cola
7. The Phone Company (LOL!)
8. Nair
9. Lucky Charms
10. Meow Mix cat food
11. Alka-Seltzer
12. Certs
So, who knows what #2 was? And did I get the rest right? (OK, "The Phone Company" I couldn't remember if it was Bell or AT&T, but it was The Phone Company.)
Who remembers "We're The Phone Company. We don't HAVE to care!"

I cheated and looked it up. It's Toys R Us.
For the "Phone company" AT&T and Bell were one in the same before divestiture. Some called it Ma Bell, but it was American Telephone & Telegraph aka AT&T or the Bell System.

They had that for all the good little boys and girls, to go right after arriving at school, to wait until first period instead of having friends. We called those kids "losers".
Thermos
Got this thing finished up today, with a nice coat of lacquer.

vacuum cleaner
Winner , they sure do look different now
??????????? ???????????? ??????????
In a heartbeat! I don't have "social media" or smartphones anyway. I'd miss e-mail and forums, but back then, there was this thing called a telephone you could use to call your friends and talk. Or, gas was cheap enough you could hop in the car and drive over to see if they were home. Then you all jumped in the car and went somewhere fun, or just cruised the boulevard. Yep, I'd go back in a heartbeat.
Vaccume they sure do look different now
Thank You, Me too
I think it's one of those old canister vacuum cleaners. I thought the same till I enlarged it
