No one seems to remember these pens but me.
Probably when I was 7 or 8 these new pens came out called BloodSuckers. They had weird creatures on top with red ink that emptied into some hidden resevoir when turned upside down. I loved mine!!
I don't remember that but I did have a pencil collection with all kinds of wierd stuff on top (or side). If only I still had it... I never used these pencils just kept them in my collection. They were so pretty and unusual.

Oooh I remember how popular that was! I never had one though. How about...oohh what are they called... little creatures that you could turn inside out and they would become a soccer ball, or some other kind of ball?

I know what you're talking about!! OMG!!! Haven't thought about those in forever!! And those stuffed animals that were a combo of two? I think mine was Rhiophant or somehthing--rhino/elephant.
The Get-a-long gang? Remember that cartoon?
I had Zipper, a roller-skating racoon.

Also the shirt tales, they lived in a tree and fought the badpeople?

I remember those!!, my friend down the street had one while I was growing up. She also had a doll that was as big as us (can't remember what it was called though) and she worked the same way...put a casette in and away she went. I had a Bingo bear growing up...still have it actually!

1)What's the first TV show you remember watching?
Beverly Hillbillies. "Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed, just a poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed.."
Oh, wait, maybe it was My Three Sons.

2)First concert you attended?
Aside from Community Theatre? (We had travelling companies from the Canadian Opera Company, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and a bunch of others come through our small town), the first concert my sister and I went to "on our own" was Gordon Lightfoot at Massey Hall.

3)First album/CD you bought?
Oh no. I won't lie. It was Lawrence Welk, "Winchester Cathedral". But I bought the sound track from "To Sir With Love", and The Seekers "Red Rubber Ball" soon afterwards to make up.

4)First movie you saw in a theater?
Can't remember, but it was one of those classic Disney movies. Flubber, That Darn Cat, the Absent Minded Professor, one of those 60's family movies.

Remember scented stickers of the scratch and sniff variety!

Markers that smelled like fruit? (really smart to promote sniffing markers).

I looooved them! My 2nd grade class, we would get tests back with stickers and we would remove the sticker and put it on our notebooks. We got quite the collection and many were scratch and sniffs!

Ady! Your not supposed to sniff markers


I think a lot of old stuff is making a come back. Just look at Care Bears.
I remember when I was a kid my room was decorated in Rainbow Brite sheets and curtains. I loved her and little Twink!

What about Sheera Princess of Power, or Holly Hobby. Wow, what memories this thread has brought back.
What about Viewfinders? Anyone have those, the little binocular type toy that showed pictures?
