School shoes. We had to get them every fall. Why didn't we just wear tennis shoes like kids do now? No, we had to wear these ugly things. I remember hating them. Ugh. No style at all. Sensible and durable.
Sun In! Every summer! I wonder if this stuff actually worked, or if we just got sun streaks naturally? We were outside constantly- I bet it was just our hair and the sun the whole time.
This was candy- no medicine at all. One time Annie Mesa and I were EATING these at recess in the 6th grade and I choked- literally choked- on one. She took me to the cafeteria and they gave me a piece of bread and told me to chew it really fast and swallow hard. OMG- it's a wonder I'm not dead.
Kissing Potion- I'm not sure I ever really kissed a boy while wearing this stuff- it was basically scented cooking oil on your lips- so greasy I'm not sure that kissing could really even occur. I loved all the different scents. Of course, you had to collect them. I remember I had a minty one that was my fav.
I think blank cassettes and the tape player were our ultimate toys growing up. We used to plant tape recorders in the house and secretly tape conversations. We TOTALLY used to do that! We were brats. It was so much fun. We also used to write our own plays and record them on audiotape. We even made sound effects. It was so much fun.
I remember this basket on my bike- but I don't really remember my bike- other than it had a banana seat. Of course- It was the 70's.
Every single one of us wore these in our hair.
I remember playing with this exact school bus- and the Fisher Price little people (that are now a choking hazard- that's why they're big and fat now) I loved how when you pulled the bus the little people in the seats would go up and down.
Every single one of us had a ballerina jewelry box.
But I can't remember the tune it played.
This is Grandma Shearer gum. She would always buy it for us and we loved it.
The flavor lasted 10 seconds.
