They had Butterscotch and Butter Rum. The Butter Rum believe it or not had a buttery flavor.

A few more oldies 😂
Let me know if anyone knows what the last one is, and has anyone ever used a light like the last one in the picture of the lights?
Have no idea about the last one, I used a carbide light when coon hunting back in the late 70's early 80's. I've actually had to pee in mine once to create the gas 😳

I have a Prince Albert can, drill, ice tongs and cycle. That might not be spelled right. And the match holder.

Dam Wulfy. My wife and I were lol. Her mom had the dust pan, the hassock in harvest gold, the clue game, we all had caps. Barely remember the ice cream but remember when a half gallon was a real half gallon? Not what we have now.

I had a cap bomb that I would put in as many caps folded to get inside and throw it up in the air and when it hit the street boom! Or fold a whole roll up and hit it with a hammer! I remember all except the game. Also hasseck.
Forgot about the cap bombs. Hammered many a cap. Melted army men potato guns, see through specs. Moved on to m80s and cherry bombs.

Me too with the cap bombs and hammering the whole roll. And we used to light them by streaming sunlight through a magnifying glass. I haven’t thought about that in years. Fast forward to adolescence and yes, M80s and cherry bombs…it was especially exciting to toss them into a metal covered trash bin 😂😂

Dang, it's been several Blue moons since I heard from you. How are you doing, Betts?
Okay, okay, back to the thread...yep, I got bored with the single-shot caps and used a hammer to add to the thrill!
I was born in 61, and most of those are familiar. Many were on their way out.
Good stuff, guys, and dolls.
