These are the vitamins we took...when my mother happened to give in to our whining for them! Nothing fancy or cool about them, they were just sort of a way to sneak in some candyish goodness:

Coffee used to come in a can with a key. You would put the key on the starter tab, then wind and wind and wind it until the metal strip had come off of the can. It would get SO difficult by the time you reached the end! If you let go...a spiraled coil of razor sharp metal would uncoil and you would have to have your Mom finish it, lol!

Another danger to children that we all lived through with fingers intact!

We had Chocks too. We used to take St. Joseph's baby aspirin when we were sick. Of course they don't take that now.

"I'd like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees, and snow white turtle doves.

I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony,
I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company.

I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony,
I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company.

It's the real thing, Coke is what the world wants today..."

Rock em Sock em Robots was fun too. "You knocked my block off"

Another fun game was Tip It. Also loved Kerplunk.

I used to love the Straw that Broke the Camel's Back game. I think that's what it was called. You had to put a straw in the basket on it's back and when it was too much, it would fold in half.

How have I been missing this thread? It's great. Had many of the toys and games discussed, and others, Battleship, Clue with the 'real' metal weapons. Baby First Step and Tippy Toes were my favorite dolls.
Remember getting my first bike - a metallic purple sting ray with a white banana seat.
A few Christmases ago I did a vintage toy gift theme for my now grown (20's and 30's) nieces and nephew. Bought the toys on ebay, vintage Donny and Marie dolls, an original 1980'2 cabbage patch doll still in the original box, a Knight Rider Kitt car and a Dukes of Hazzard General Lee.
The "kids" had a great time opening their gifts and reliving their youths.

Check out www.vermontcountrystore.com. They actually sell alot of old time products like Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific shampoo, Charles Chips, old fashioned candy etc.

I'm so glad this thread keeps plugging along. It is a hoot to see what everyone used to play with. Kc103, thank you so much for the reminder of Poppin Hoppies! In all my travels through the years, that one has never showed up. We did used to have that and I remember it being a lot of fun. Now I'll have to add that to my "I need that" list...

What a great Christmas present idea, Snoops! I think I might just borrow that one!

Hannibal Hayes and Kid Curry! Loved it. I remember when Peter Duel killed himself and then wasn't it Roger Davis that took his place?

And wasn't Pete Duel in Love on a Rooftop with Judy Carne?

I know, it's sad how I remember this stuff.
