Sounds like a reprise of items still on sale -- except for the VW bus -- at Walmarts everywhere. Yesterday forever. ~ gw

Thank goodness I was in the military during most of the 60s, or I would have been totally outcast by my family! LOL. Still, I do remember most of those things. I loved The Mamas and The Papas "Monday, Monday!"
