Oh oh
12, huh? Well, that's better than almost all of them, like me. I bought some little wax soda bottles filled with juice the other day at a '50s theme restaurant. Now, if I could figure out how to pass them out to bloggers. . .

Thanks for the comments and additions to the list!
It is cool to remember that old stuff, and everything that L.E.Gant added. Wow, Mandrake, I'd forgotten about him. And, of course, The Phantom, Li'l Abner, Kookla, Fran & Ollie, and all those black and white western movies I lived for.

Doesn't matter
You must be young in years, mature at heart? I think it's great to learn the old things. There are still one or two drive-ins left in Wisconsin, but we haven't been to one since the 1970s. Thanks for reading.

Does it matter
that I grew up with my grandparents; therefore got the benefit of their experiences and keepsakes?
By the way, there are still drive-ins in the Kansas City area. My son goes with his dad several times every summer.
I think I still have some green stamps in the stuff I inherented from my grandmother.

Well, I'm old.
I think I only missed two of them. Howdy Doody (yes, that's how it's spelled) was the marionette star of a TV show in the 1950s. If you're interested, I found a Web site: http://www.howdydoodytime.com/
Thanks for reading, though. There is nothing wrong with being young.

I can remember very few of these simply because I've never heard of them, they're obviously American things. I daresay if I lived in America I would remember them all, though. And what on earth was Howdy Doody (Howdy Dowdy? Can't remember, sorry!).
