classic TV commercials- part 6
Posted: Sat May 31, 2008 8:55 amSure, there's more...
I never saw this when I was a kid: spaceman outfits, complete with inflatable boots to simulate walking on a planet with low gee.
If some kid had showed up in my neighborhood wearing this, for sure somebody would've chucked a rock at that bubble helmet!
I wonder how many kids got heat srtroke wearing that fishbowl?
Enough lame toys- how about Hot Wheels?
Hot Wheels were, as we used to say back then, extremely "wicked". "Tuff", even. And the commercials were excellent...
Spent many happy hours setting up crazy courses and racing those little cars.
I think I had almost every one available at some point, but not this one: "Double Trouble" I think it was called. Sadly, my mother tossed all my Hot Wheels stuff one day for some reason... little did she know how much they'd be worth now! :o
They're still around, and still cheap.... but this was a good deal! LOL!
Another cool game: Connect Four. To beat your opponent, you just had to get four of your color discs in a row, in any direction.
Including diagonally... "pretty sneaky, Sis!" :D
Next: Part 7- more wicked toys, and another celebrity
