Remember Fuzzy Wuzzy Soap. You wet it and it grew fur and then inside there was a prize? I didn't have the circus one. I had a pink bunny with a tiny troll doll inside.

Mom used to always get me pink and peach Avon Lipstick samples:
Prell Concentrate Shampoo. Then there was the liquid that came with a pearl in it.

Fhn....we always had that prell in our house....ug...I hated the smell of it. I finally got mom to buy the herbal essence in one of the other posts and finally the Lemon up shampoo.
I know this is delicate, but does anyone remember that women's feminine products were not advertised on TV, and when they started it was the most embarassing thing in the world.
They finally started advertising cross your heart playtex bras on television and that was just as bad.
Think about what they advertise now..... Viagra, Herpes meds, birth control, bladder control, the list goes on.
Sorry Snow, didn't mean to side track the thread!

Yes and the lady modeled it with a turtle neck under it and they took a measuring tape and crossed her heart with it?
How about training bras with a pink bow and you just died because people could see the straps throught your white blouse?
Remember when we used to call hairstyles hairdos? and you got them at the kitchen table from your mom or big sister?

I remember Tweed and 4711 cologne. And Opium by YSL (1977) - it caused quite a stir here when it was released. The premier of our state actually banned it from being sold in Queensland for a few years because of the name. (I remember him on TV saying "why couldn't they call it Rose or something"!) I bought some when I went OS and almost expected to be stopped at customs when I returned because of it.

"I remember the guys smelling like Hai Karate,"
I remember that cologne. I bought some, too. Remember how it was advertized? The fella puts on some cologne, and gals attack him from all over!
They also said that they were putting instructions inside the box on how to defend yourself...
... that's the reason I bought it... I wanted so many gals coming at me, I had to fight them off.
I lost those instructions, though... no gals, either.
Oh well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
