I got twelve. Brownie, my sources tell me that Butch Wax is what guys used to put in their hair to get the "greaser" look.

Its so funny when we go to the store. My son firmly believes that those dang wax coke bottles are the newest thing. I have to laugh. Does anybody remember those wax red lips?

You only got a 4 Heather? You aren't old enuff to be working!! :p I used to love those big wax lips! Did you ever have a chocolate candy called Ice Cubes? They were a penny, and they were so good. Did any one have a woody ststion wagon?

Oh my God, 23 out of 25. Hey what's the point of getting older if you don't get the chance to reminice. Does anyone remember making rings out of glass soda bottles. You'd scrape the lips of 2 bottles together until they fell off, took hours!! then you'd smooth them down and put them on string and wear as a necklace! Making go carts out of wooden milk crates and roller scates?? Playing hide and go seek, hop scotch?? God I am Old!!

hey...we still have a drive in here where i live....still open all summer long...http://www.midwaydrivein.com/info/location.shtml

I got 4 either I'm young or it doesn't apply to us in the UK but my grand mother kept her wash tub wringer until 1987

Thanks for the info I1tobern ! I guess I just didn't know what it was called. And YES...I remember the red lips...love them! And you know it's funny a lot of stuff that has come back in style...kids think is new...but is old to us:chuckle

I got 25 out of 25, which makes me older than dirt, I guess, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.:D

Does anybody remember elevator operators? Carbon paper?

Stockings with seams up the back? Sanitary belts? Typewriter ribbons? Dress shields?;)

I can't be the only one.:roll

Got all 25. After a hard day at work, get 100% on something!!!

Heather, are you sure you don't have selective amnesia? lol
