    Who Remembers these 70s kid essentials


    Maybe a favourite toy? Candy? Game?
    Something that stood out from the 70s as a kid.
    If you don't remember something someone else said mention it. Maybe a pic or something will rekindle the memory.

    Klackers
    Mood rings
    Mini pops (Not the kid singers the soda)
    Popeye cigarettes
    Ton of gum
    Cracker jacks

    That's to start. I'll add more later....

    Thrills (chiclet like gum that tasted like soap)
    Fun Dip (Lik-a-Stik)
    Black Bart gum (tasted like black licorice)

    Games I recall - Operation, Perfection, Happy Days Board Game

    They really put out some questionable gum in the 70s!!
