Here are some more things I remember growing up…
Bonnie Bell Lip Smackers — I had all kinds of flavors: strawberry, Tootsie Roll, 7-up. Dr. Pepper was my favorite flavor. Just recently I brought some Lip Smackers: Jolly Rancher, Pink Lemonade and Bubble Gum. They smelled the same, but when I put them on, let’s just say I preferred the smell of them.
Pet Rocks were a fad that didn’t last long, but hit hard! My mom wouldn’t spring for one of these things, so I went out to the creek behind the house and found my own pet and adopted it!
“The Streak” by Ray Stevens from 1974. I remember we had the 45 of this song. I was never a “streaker”, but I thought this song was hilarious!
“Don’t look, Ethel!”
And I remember I wanted a “Sculptura” telephone. I thought they were the coolest telephones. The Sculptura telephone was a quintessential 1970s phone. Produced by Western Electric in a choice of three color (yellow, brown or white).
It’s nice to look back at the good old days. And with the Internet, you are able to find those things that use remember when you were growing up.
