Yes and I can still hear the sound that they made when you popped them.

@Toots711Yes, in 7th grade I got the long white pearl color

necklace. About 15 years ago, I looked on ebay and people were selling vintage pop beads. I bought turquoise and white.

 

   They were fun when we were kids. I think that they came out around the same time as Spoolie hair curlers and Hula Hoops.

@Toots711  Yes I remember them. Passed a lot of time making creations with my cousins. We had colored ones too besides white.

Yes, they make me think of my dear Grandma as she always wore them with everything. They hold a special place in my heart.

Loved these. As a kid our grandma in Kansas sent us some red and white ones near Valentine's Day.

OMG!!!  I loved these!  We just called them "pop" beads.  We would take them apart and put them together to make longer necklaces, shorter ones, bracelets and mix and match colors!  So much fun!
