WOWZER...great memories here. No longer have them, but I was big into slot car racing and the ol' home AFX tracks etc. Rat Fink Skateboard circa 67(wish I still had that!) Had the Klic-Klacs that my Dad took away from me and then got banned as prior post quoted. So many toys here I had. Great stuff everybody!
And Mr. 68, the 6 finger...I think I had that! Feel better you baggy dude!!!
Quoted from chippe01:My all-time favorite!
Yes, loved the Snap Bowling but that was one NOISY game!
Wow such great memories coming back seeing these toys. I grew up in the 60's.
Quoted from littlecammi:I still have my Aurora HO slot cars (and a big box full of track sections). Haven't played with them in decades.

Big Rat Fink Roth fan. Wish I still had my Rat Fink Skate Board from the 60’s.
Quoted from cottonm4:Ah...scratch-n-sniffs. Early 70s fare. I had forgot all about S-n-S.
I don’t remember those, but I remember the movie Polyester where they handed out a scratch-n-sniff card. When the number on the movie screen flashed you would scratch-n-sniff the corresponding number on card. Fun stuff.
My Dad was the milkman. I used to go around and deliver with him when I was 4 and 5 before I had full day school. I still have some glass bottles, milk can, and some licenses. The cool thing was he let me drive while sitting in his lap. Great memories for me.

We also had Brooklyn Seltzer delivered in an Ancient Truck.
Then came Drive thru Dairy Barn, with lower Milk prices, and more products. I believe its still there.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Wow, Babcocks Dairy! Kingston, N.Y was about 10 minutes away. I believe they bought out our dairy business and then they were bought out by Silver Lake Dairy. I used to have a Babcocks Dairy container like that.
Quoted from mooch:Did you buy any books from the Scholastic Arrow Book Club in your grade school class? I had a few of these.
A knee-slapper from The Arrow Book of Jokes and Riddles:
Q: “What did Tennessee?”
A: “The same thing Arkansas.”

Yes, I can still smell the pages! : )
Quoted from mooch:I never had one, but I wanted this cool-looking Coke dispenser I saw in Sears catalogs. I somehow thought it would hold gallons of soda so I could enjoy jumbo-sized cups of ice-cold Coke whenever I wanted. Now I see it was just a near-empty plastic box that held a single bottle of Coke at room temperature which trickled into super tiny Coke glasses. Pretty disappointing… although it might work for tequila.

Ha, I had that Coke dispenser/soda fountain. It was about 2 sips worth in the glass! : ) At about age 9 or 10 (circa 1968)I had a Carnival for Muscular Dystrophy where you send the money in and used it to sell drinks of soda. The more you know! : )
Quoted from SBrothers:Ahh..yes!
This was the version I owned. Quite sure I owned (and released) no less than 50 of them throughout my life. Think I’m gonna buy another one this summer, cause they are fun as fudge (only I didn’t say fudge).

They were great!
Quoted from Strummy:Wonderama
Anyone else old enough to remember Sonny Fox from Wonderama?
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:Got to go on one show of Wonderama....I mostly remember him smelling, and having bad breath.
What a great memory to have! : )
