Vintage Ads: Erector


Yes we do get that sometimes. We don't all call it that but we do get them. And sometimes we have to lie on our stomach and put on a fake smile.

Slime

Do you remember Slime? I remember "accidentally" getting this green stuff into a kid neighbor's hair. Take a look at other popular toys from the 70s and 80s. I can't say I recognize everything - everything was probably not even sold over here in Sweden - but lots of it. You can bet some lucky b-stard had it!
