I saw actual Jiffy Pop

I don't know of these Astro Pops.

What about the orange creamsicle thingys that the bottom pushed up, like a caulk gun. They had a pointed stick coming out of them too.

They were called Push-Ups. Yummy. I thought they still made them...I'm going to check next time I'm in the grocery store. I love those!

Neat thread Rose! Sirrabed..Necco Wafers are still being manufactured right here in Mass! I always heard a rumor about the (black?) wafers in a dark room would spark when snapped.... Here's a neat link I found about all that sugary cavity making crud we loved as kids! http://www.oldtimecandy.com/necco-wafers.htm
Does anyone recall the soap made in the early 60s that had toys in the middle?

I remember that, it would surely be banned now, due to small toy parts.

In the tub.... I remember foam from a can, in colors, that would float on the water. I can just imagine the mess that colored stuff made in the bathtub.

All ^those^ things are still around up here. I can get all that stuff (not the soap), in my grandpa's store. The last bar of soap I got had a frog ring in it, hehehe



The 1 thing they removed from the province & many others, are the Coke, Pepsi & other pop from the bottles, including the pop machines. I know they are in PEI (no soda's in a can), but what about in other provinces & in the usa??

You mean you can't get bottled pop over there? I don't know if I understand correctly lol.

Ya, there is NO bottled pop here. They stopped them back in the late 80's early 90's, I only know this, because I remember dad FREAKING out.

We have canned pop & plastic pop. A couple years ago, they came out with festive mini glass bottled coke (they are no bigger then 5inch tall & 2inch wide). Oh & fast food pop hehehe

Well, send them down.

I'm not driving 500km to get some. I'm sure they are going through some freaky snow storm & can only get around by skidoo's (I avoid that town during the winter).

If I can join in on another gift swap, I'll try to find some around here.
