Timeless Treasures for the Boomer in You!
Sometimes you just want a bit of nostalgia. Even though Madmen is pretty true to the times, the cherished accoutrements of our childhood are far less the focus than Don Draper’s peccadilloes. So, for boomers who grew up in the late fifties and early sixties, the show doesn’t provide nearly enough of those “remember when” moments for us to feel fully satisfied.
Therefore, here are a few memory-joggers that are guaranteed to bring back the days of yesteryear:
Yummy wax coke-shaped bottles filled with sugar water. Their claim to fame was they “melted in your hands and not in your mouth!”
A head start on a bad habit… I wonder what the Surgeon General had to say about candy cigarettes?
Best of all… you could buy both of these treasures and more with your weekly allowance–50 cents, WOWEE!
Yes, we lucky boomers could kick back, take a drag on a candy cig, a swig on a waxy coke, and watch the ultimate in televised adventures. What do you think–could life get any better than that?
