Collecting the bottles, finding them on the side of the road or in the trash and then turning them at the store for the deposit? I use to get my pocket money that way :D and in the summer time spent it on more Pop!

I remember Nehi!! That stuff was GOOOOOOOOOOD!!! Do they sell it anymore? I haven't seen it in years!
I used to collect bottles too! But they don't give refunds for bottles anymore in Indiana. In fact, I don't think they even sell soda in glass bottles here any longer. Those glass bottles had a down side to them too. Sometimes the mouth of the bottle would be chipped. Once I cut my lip on a chipped bottle, and I bled like a stuck pig for about 10 minutes! I'll never forget that. I think I was 5 or 6 when it happened.

These old pictures of products are great :)
Well, let's see:
Friday night cause school was over for the week.
Watching "Dark Shadows" after school.
Watching scary movies, especially late on Friday nights.
Listening and finding new music (yes, it goes back that far).
Buckburgers.
That's a few I can think of. Oh yeah, I remember Shake A Puddin'. Do they still make that

Poor David--that's a bad memory for a little 5 year old! You probably didn't even notice it. My gran told me not to drink out of the chipped bottles because she said the glass might be inside. Of course---if she didn't catch it.......I'd do it anyway.
We used to have big 16 ounce Pepsis, and on Saturdays, my granny and I would "half" one and drink it out of a glass full of ice with popcorn while I watched "wrestling". LOL. That seems so funny now, that we shared a bottle and we had a Pepsi only on Saturdays---it was a treat.
Yep--Grape Nehis were very tasty! I don't know if they still make those or not.
Remember Radar O'Reilly on M.A.S.H.? He always drank Grape Nehis, didn't he! I think he got "drunk" on them once. :D

My Dad LOVED M*A*S*H! Dad is a veteran of the Korean war, and he always watched M*A*S*H each week. In fact, I think he still watches it when it airs on TVLand. Yup! Radar loved his Nehi!! And I think I remember the episode when he got drunk on them! :laugh:

What is Shake A Puddin'? I don't think I remember it.
I remember Jiffy Pop! It came in a pan with a foil top. You heated it over the stove and the foil would expand as the popcorn popped inside of it. You had to shake it constantly so the popcorn wouldn't scortch.
I remember mom saying "Stand away while I pull open this foil or you'll get a steam burn!" :laugh:
Anyone remember this commercial? I sure do!

"Fantastic Features" came on from a Memphis TV station--can't remember whether it was on Friday or Saturday. But I would BEG someone to stay up with me to watch it. Haha I was too afraid to watch alone, but I didn't want to miss it!!! The host was "Sivad" and later I learned that his real surname was Davis, so he spelled it backwards for his stage name. He wore a top hat and a cape--and fangs.
Did ya'll watch "The Twilight Zone"? That one scared me too!
