I'm so old I remember...

Life Boy Soap.. The orange soap you got a taste of when you said a foul word
Carter's Little Liver Pills
Speedy.. as in Plop-plop-fizz-fizz
Bromo thing on the bar.. 5 cent the bar tender would tip the blue container into a glass of water.
The " Rocking & Tipping Bird on the bar.. taking a drink..
Geratol for low iron.. as Lawrence Welk would say..
Atomic Fire Ball Candy the size of a base ball.. when you were a kid only a penny..
Ovaltine and the decoder ring. Every Saturday you got another clue watching Hop Along Cassidy and you used your decoder ring
Nelle Belle the " Jeep "

I don't remember Nelle Belle. I do remember Cassius Clay. I have no idea why I thought of that today. Maybe some brain plaque moved.

When there were gas station attendants who pumped gas for you, checked your oil level and washed your windshield. And freebies like S&H green stamps, steak knives and drinking glasses.
