The older than dirt quiz

I remember all of these but the Butch Wax. Our phone number was Hubbard and then Diamond. We also had a party line that I hated. When I got to be a teenager I wanted to live on the phone with my friends. The lady down the street was on our party line and would tell me to get off. If that didn't work she would walk to our home and complain to my Mom. My Mom put an end to the calling immediately.I guess she didn't realize how long we were on the line. When I think back I feel sorry for the lady. She had every right to be upset. We even played our new 45 records over the phone to each other by holding the phone to the speaker of the record player.That is "Older Than Dirt".
 
I'm officially older than dirt!

I remember all but the PF Flyers and Butch Wax.

Is there anyone that can enlighten me on the PF Flyers and Butch Wax?
 
Related to candy cigarettes, my mom used to give us girls her empty cigarette packages so we could put our candy cigarettes in.

How's that for being next to the real thing!

Same. And I can remember mom writing a permission note for the neighborhood market clerk so I could buy her cigarettes for her when I was 9.

My mom escaped the note thing, being that the store owners knew my mom well (along with us kids), so there was never a question when mom sent me to the store to buy her cigarettes.

I just hated it when it fell on a day when I was busy relaxing or doing my own thing... mom would call out, "oh, Marg, can you"... LOL!

I knew by her voice that a store run was in order!

Funny how things change though, because by the time I was in my early double digits (age wise), mom would have me babysit my siblings while she ran to the store, which told me she was antsy to get out of the house for a shake. :)
