Monkey bars at recess... that was the hot spot on the playground.

Girls chase boys or boys chase girls today?

Devil dogs were awesome. Why don't they make those anymore?

Who remembers running like hell when you heard the ice cream truck? MMMMMMM - Italian ice.

I'm pretty young still so I don't really have fond memories of these words, but I wish I did. My wife and I were born about thirty years too late. This list does make me think of a couple of words from my childhood...

There's a store around here (can't remember where it is now) that sells blackjack and clove gum!! Don't forget twinscicles in vanilla and rootbeer.

Does that make me an FOG too?? 😞

Fuller Brush Man: I used to be one. For a short time, I was still in H.S. Still remember the demo of the chrysanthemum-based insect spray: spray it onto the back of my hand and lick it to show how non-toxic it was. A lotta you are thinking "well that explains it..."

www.vermontcountrystore.com has Charles Chips and ALL kinds of "blasts from the past.

they've got a big "old fashioned" candy store with all the old hard candies and stuff like REAL licorice pipes and scottie dogs, walnettos, fruit stripes, beemans, teaberry and black jack gum, horlicks tablets, moon pies, and old-name candy bars like skybar and cherry mash.

they have all kinds of products like "evening in paris" perfume and "1411" cologne, fire king jadette bake ware, buster brown socks, dippity do, life bouy soap and lava soaps, and things like heavy flat irons like mom used to use, old big ben alarm clocks... really just like turning back the clock by decades... just all kinds of stuff that's not been seen in ages. i've been a patron for years and never had a bad deal with them.

Sorry, Trish, you are too young. However, you may qualify to become an Honorary FOG. Ask about the secret initiation ceremony. ;o)

BTW, there's a store at the Stockyards in Fort Worth that carries most of the old candies and stuff. Moxie is still sold in Maine and elsewhere and there's a website devoted to it.
