Remember the Troll Dolls, Dottie? My sister had some of those. My parents wouldn't let me have any. They said they were for girls!  >:(

But I had a couple of pencils with a troll on the top of them! If you spun the pencil between your hands, the troll's hair would look funny!  :laugh: :laugh:



Wacky packages



Oh, I remember Wacky packages Paul. I collected them. I had a whole stack of wacky package stickers. I decided to stick some of them on my bedroom door and my Dad just about had a fit. He made me scrape them all off the door with a paint scraper and when I did it, the varnish came off the door too. Dad ended up sanding down the door and re-varnishing it. I NEVER stuck any more wacky stickers on my door again!  :(

Remember "Dippity-Doo"?

My Mom used Dippity Doo on her hair sometimes. I always thought it smelled good.

Don't forget "Brut" in its big, phallic bottle.

I guess I am too young to remember the 60s.    :-\

I was only ten in 1976.  But I do remember all the hoopla over the bicentennial.     

Things from the seventies I remember......

Disco music.   

8-tracks.

CB radios.

Mom being shocked when Elvis died.

Watching the six million dollar man on TV.

Having to walk over and turn the channel knob to change the TV channel!    OMG!

Fooling with rabbit ear antennas.  Putting aluminum foil on them for better reception.    LOL

Leaded gasoline.

Gas rationing, odd-even days.

Having a red LED display watch that you had to push a button to read it.   LOL.

President Carter being attacked by a Rabbit.

Billy Beer.

Watching:
All in the Family.
Bob Newhart show.
Hee Haw
Mary Tyler Moore.
Happy Days.
Lavern & Shirley.
Alice.
Chico and the Man.
Soap!

Cars had whitewall tires.
Bias ply tires. 
AM radios

Everywhere you went had a cigarette machine in the lobby.   YUCK
Pay phones at every exit ramp and all over town.

Gas stations gave away dishware with a fill up.

Gas stations were "Service Stations" with repair service bays, not quickie marts like today.

No such thing as self service either.

All the bruises and sprained ankles from people falling off their platform shoes.

Andy Warhol movies: Flesh, Trash, Frankenstein, Dracula, Lonesome Cowboys (Talk about a gay cowboy movie!)

Little Joe Dallesandro who was only 5' 6'' and hot as a firecracker.

Anybody remember those "Space Command" remote controls? I think they were made for use with Zenith TVs. Maybe Quasar. Anyway, they clicked, or rather "boinged". They made a funny boing sound when you pressed the button and SOMETIMES the channel would change. lol Our neighbors had one and it only worked about 20 percent of the time. I think you could only change the channel with them, and maybe turn the TV on and off too.

Did any of you have those Major Matt Mason action dolls?

Mine had a little backpack on him, and he could climb up and down the walls! He had a moon rover too!  :D

I also had a Big Jim doll and he had his own camper!

My sister had the Barbie camper.
