Here are the ones that resonate with me:
I remember what a treat ... now I can't remember the name of this -- I was going to say Jolly Time, but that's not it. I know: Jiffy Pop. Loved it along with the steam burn I always got opening it. |
I remember asking my father to pull the lever back when I was too little to do it. |
To this day, I miss Woolworth's! I still have a decorative flower pot in my garden from Woolworth's. We had a big one a few blocks from here and I've never gotten over its closing. |
I know to some people this photo would be like looking at women with bustles and long dresses, but this doesn't seem that long ago to me. |
This is just a pleasant memory. Remember when you discovered some cool song on the B side of a hit record? |

OMG, Woolworth's! Do you remember the banana splits at the counter. They had balloons on a string and you picked one and burst it. Inside was the price you would pay for a banana split. Sometimes a penny,dime or the regular price.
I remember every one of those so well! I also remember when it got cold, the cream on top of the milk would push up the top on the milk bottle. And i remember we would shake the bottle to mix the cream into the milk after we poured some off for my dad's coffee.
My father didn't drink coffee and my mother drank hers black so we didn't use the cream so we'd hand the bottle to my father who would shake it to mix the cream. Those were the days before "no fat milk!"
I remember everything except the milkman -- my dad actually was a milkman and he did still deliver door-to-door when I was a kid, but he delivered cartons not bottles, and he never wore a uniform.
