Oh yes! I remember the black soap,”throw your voice”, X-Ray specks, dog whistle, whoopee cushion, and the joy buzzer. I actually had that buzzer. You’d wind it up, slip it on your middle finger and press it on the palm of someone with a handshake.
It was relocated to the Davidian Ranch. So I've been told anyway.

Yes, at fountains, with large apothecary jars fill with coloured water and lime ricky with a straw in a glass.

So simple, so effective.
Commercials these days are so complex and sophisticated that often I do not know what the product is. Unless I am more dense.
I love simplicity. I yearn for simpler times past.
I don't know about that. The old adverts showed us what actually happens. The new ones are animated cartoons showing us what they want us to believe happens. Real pigs do not sprout wings. Animated cartoon pigs do.

We'd be lucky to find that 10 cent hot dog for $3 now!

That is so true, but 10 cents was probably like our $3 today...I found an old menu from a restaurant I visited as a kid... a steak (rib) salad, fries or baked potato, a drink of soda or milk, and a slice of pie for $4.99 coffee 35 cents... I remember going to McDonalds as a kid with the family, and you could feed a family for $20

You might be able to find a 10 cent hot dog, just as long as you don't have any questions about ingredients.We'd be lucky to find that 10 cent hot dog for $3 now!

Uh... thanks, @Flarbalard ... you look hungry so go ahead and enjoy. I'm not that hungry anyhow.

I am hungry! It's a bit after 9 and I'm ready for lunch. All things are possible with onions and mustard, LOTS of mustard.
Back when they proudly dislplayed the sign "One Million Sold!"
On bananas in particular!
