Today is the best day of the week, the closest to Friday and the furthest from Monday.  YEA!!!

I remember all of them, made me smile. We still have the drinking glass but in Red.
Loved those Ding Dongs, who came up with that name LOL

I still use my corning ware often, and the electric skillet I use for making pancakes mostly now.  That or french toast it works well for.  I need them both!!

It was too easy to remember all of them for me.

Of course, made me think of my parents and miss them even more. 

I'd go back to those years in a nano-second.

So true @SandySparkles . I have a newer electric fry pan, but like the old one better. I only use the new one when I need two going at once. The tall, round crockpot gets used for a decadent banana bread. People wonder how I made it to get that shape lol.

I remember all of them.  I loved Hawaiian Punch but it gave me a screaming headache.  I assume it was Red dye #2.  I was 7-10 years old.

Yes I remember most of these particularly the first food items....at first I thought, don't they still sell a lot of these?  I may not buy them anymore but I didn't realize that many are no longer around!

I remember most of those. I had that Oster Blender. It came with mixer plus all kids of accessories. It was called the Oster Kitchen Center.

Jiffy Pop!  Jiffy Pop the magic treat. As much fun to make as it is to eat!

Still have the Oster blender with additional smaller jars. Received as wedding gift (45 yrs this April).

Butterscotch and Wint-O-Green Lifesavers - 5 cents for the roll

Nik - L - Nips - the wax bottles with the icky-sweet syrup inside. 5 cents for the package of 5. Then we chewed on the wax bottles. 

Mom had the Revere Ware and the Corning Ware.

The shoe store in our little town had a penny dispenser that disgorged two of those little square gums.  Delicious!  They were always fresher than the round ones!

My mother had virtually no small appliances except a toaster, and no other counter-top appliances.  We lived in a house built in the 1880s, and still going strong, and it didn't run to modern wiring codes. She used her mother's cookbook that also dated back well before small appliances. 

She did get a blender one summer, but didn't like it and donated it to a school "white elephant" sale, where it was snapped up.  (She did like her juicer.)
