How many of these do you remember?

Bran Flakes, without the raisins
They put the raisins in to hike the price.
Mom said 'no way' we stuck with the Bran Flakes.
Can't find them anymore, you can purchase Bran Flakes with raisins, guess they quit making them yeas ago..

You can find plain bran flakes at Walmart, I’ll then add the Sun-maid Raisins

My mother was so possessed with collecting those golden wheat dishes that she used to hide the soap she bought from my father.

It seems like everything we had in those days came out of a box, gas station premiums, jelly glasses or the S&H green stamp store.

We had those, too. And I think Breeze detergent had dish towels in the boxes. And of course a cabinet full of "jelly" glasses.

I remember Lux Flakes, they smelt lovely, Palmolive and Camay soaps

 

[Ferocious]

Only two of them, Oxydol and Camay.

I remember those too, Pam, and Lux Flakes.

 

[jerry old]

didn't Ivory soap cost more that other brands, wasn't it touted
as 'the best' because it floated. It is still around, has declined
in sales long ago.

Our troop disbanded after the Brownies

 

[MickaC]

Any items in #1, i don't remember, not sure if it's that i'm not old enough, or bad memory. I do remember in #27, wrigley's gum, seeing the puzzles in 32 & 33, brings back memories, used to spend hours at those.

We have cereal called Raisin Bran, flake cereal and raisins, i've known this cereal all my life, still in our grocery stores to this day.

 

[Ladybj]

I don't remember a SINGLE one. I do remember Cracker Jacks, Now and Laters (candy)

 

[jujube]

Remember the Quaker Oats certificates that entitled you to one square inch of land in the Klondike?

 

[jerry old]

JUJUBE
certainly remember Quaker Oats, but they were high dollar brand-3 Minute Oats were cheaper.
am interested in the one square inch of Klondike, any validity to
that at all?
Any knowledge of anyone actually trying to cash certificate?

[Lvstotrvl]

I remember most of them. Some came with glasses and dish ware and some had towels in them.

The only ones I recognize is Ivory Flakes n Ivory bar soap!

 

[jerry old]

Aunt Bea: that is the coolest thing,
remember the Quaker Puffed Wheat and Rice-there commercials had them being shot from huge cannon.

So real too, Tax man repo the land- Booo!
Yes, it was a kiddie thing, but inciting
(Now, where did I put my deed; can probably sell it at flea market.')

 

[fuzzybuddy]

The green stamps. My mmom was crazy about saving them. If you went to the store and didn't come back with the stamps, life was hell till she forgot about it. It was a cash society back then and my mom kept the green stamps in the same metal box as our money and papers. I remember going with her to the redemption store to get a mixer, or something.

I was right in my glory when this sat under our Christmas tree.

And don't forget all the little toys in cereal boxes.

And Cracker Jack.

[Aunt Marg]

And Cracker Jack.

♫♫ Candy Coated Popcorn, Peanuts And a Prize. That's What You Get in Cracker Jack ♫♫

And there was Pink Elephant, or Pink Prize Popcorn, can't remember the exact name, but boy, was it ever good!

 

[Aunt Marg]

As for the OP, I recognize no products by their looks, but definitely recognize many by their brand names.

 

[In The Sticks]

I remember Green Stamps and Top Value Trading Stamps.
I got my first tennis racket with the Top Value stamps.

My dad managed a G.C. Murphy store back in the day. He once had a few cases of Cracker Jack that were defective in some way (I think it was stale), and I got to empty out the candy and keep all those prizes!

Then of course there were the glasses and cheap plastic-handled steak knives you got with every fill-up at the gas station.
