Y'know, I got to thinking, after I posted that, "Gee, your hair smells terrific!" post....what WAS it with the olfactory overload of the '70's? EVERYTHING was scented! Strawberry-scented shampoos, melon-scented deodorants, meadow-reminiscent douches....I mean, it just wasn't right if you walked around without your underarms smelling like a berry milkshake, or maybe a lemon tree.
I never quite understood all that....

Beta, Laserdisk, 8 Tracks, Sony Walkmans, The original cell phones, Hell cassettes while we're at it. I'm a younger guy and it amazes even me how much has come and gone so quickly.

The CB radio. For some reason there was a time those were really popular with people other than truckers. We'd all sit in someone parents car and take turns talking on it, making up "handles".

"Super Elastic Bubble Plastic" -- that psychedelically-colored goop in a tube that you could blow into huge bubbles, and could have fun with until they shriveled up into a scary-lookin' wad a few days later. I don't think I ever forgot the scent of that stuff!

Frankie The Keener Weiner.
A meat packing plant I worked at years ago. Their logo was a "winking weiner" named Frankie The Keener Weiner who also wore a chefs hat.. They even had a mascot which was a half body suit of Frankie that they would send out for promotions. Now that they closed the plant in 1989 and reopened it in 1999. They only refer to the Frankies as Superior Hot Dogs. |

Dunno. To be honest, I don't think it would've mattered, anyway! Remember, we never worried about that kinda stuff.

Painters pants. Which were jeans with these little loops on the side. Always came in handy in case I wanted to take my hammer or paintbrush with me.
