    Sun In or lemon juice in your hair when you were tanning to lighten it up, the Coppertone commercial where the dog is tugging on the girl's swim bottom so you can see her tan line,

    I know they're still around, but who remembers setting their hair daily on hot rollers? I also remember them getting tangled in my hair!!! Ouch!!

    I remember lip gloss that looked like that but I'm not sure if that was the brand or not.

    How about the Nair commercial, "Who wears short shorts?"

    Yup - while the juke box at the actual "service" station played Gogi Grant singing "Wayward Wind"

    Ruth, definitely remember those glass bottle pop machines. Even remember the local gas station had a chest top with bottles sitting in ice where you just reached in to grab a bottle!! Best coke--ice cold and made with real sugar not corn syrup!!

    Remember diet pop with cyclamates? Probably part of the reason we're on this forum--too many toxic chemicals consumed!!!

    Yeah Kissing Potion was a lip gloss that smelled so good. It was VERY glossy. It was from Maybelline and there were a few different flavors. I remember using it a lot every time we went roller skating on a Friday night or Saturday afternoon. 😘

    My grandparents on the farm used one. It was a real treat when they did, the cows had just been brought in and milked.

    Yes. White Shoulders, Still in production apparently because someone recently gifted me a bottle--unless it was purchased years ago and never used. I won't be using it either--one of my daughters my like it or one of my grand daughters, but only if they like the scent. I prefer choosing my own.

    I had a boyfriend who wore Old Spice, which I think is still in production but I wonder how many men still wear colonge?
