These are hilarious! I remember working at a summer camp. We would load up a bunch a kids in the back of a "cattle truck" and all 30 or so of us were standing up the whole way, singing songs, yelling "hello" at the cars that passed us on the road. Fun days!

Gas was about 25 cents a gallon, competitive stations would have price “wars". Cashing in pop bottles to put a gallon in your moms gas hog.
I still won’t do perms today, 65 years later cause of those nasty home things.

Remember shopping for a new hat, white gloves & ankle socks, new shoes and a new “frilly” dress for Easter Sunday...
(Easter, a visit to Santa Claus, and the first day of school were our main shopping treats!).

Spookiesmom, I with you on perms secondary to the trauma of those home perms!!
DH and I were just talking about the price of gasoline back then and all those gas hogs.
Remember when Black Jack, Beemans and Clove gum were in every store.

If there's a Cracker Barrel near you, you may be able to find the gum. Or some of the candies from our memories.

yes, Cracker Barrel and Mast General.....I go there to get Mary Janes and Squirrel Nut Zippers. I have a dental bridge that makes the gum impossible....quickly becomes a gooey mess.

SarahSmiles, I laughed and also remembered how that new hat for Easter came with a very tight elastic band around your throat! Did we ever wear the hat again!!!???

Ceanna - you are so right !! I completely forgot about the elastic band around my throat! Thanks for helping me to remember...
I’m sure my Easter hat was passed to a cousin or someone, cause as a young girl, I had a new hat for each Easter!

Minus, I haven’t thought about Evening In Paris in years. My older sister and her friends just knew they had something akin to Channel No. 5 ! 😂😂
