    Weird 70s/80s products you remember.

    Body on Tap the shampoo made with beer.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      Not sure who made these (most likely Hot Wheels or Matchbox)

      In the 70's there was this line of weird Hot Wheels/Matchbox scale racers that were made to look like human/car hybrids.

      One looked like a kid sitting on his butt and his arms and legs held the wheels

          Ha, my grandmother usually had that for us to drink instead of Kool-Aid, so I always think of her when someone mentions Freshie. Even on the rare occasions when she actually had Kool-Aid she still called it Freshie.

            I remember it being like cocaine for children.

                ^ I used to take that squeeze cheese on camp outs. Loved the bacon flavored one.

                  Sizzlean. Loved it as a kid. Esp. maple-flavored kind. Gross thinking about it now.
                  I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.

                    ^Oh yeah. My Dad had to switch to that when he got diagnosed with high blood pressure and cholesterol. That and egg beaters. We all suffered. ;-)

                        ^ I don't think so, unless its still a regional thing. I guess they moved on to things like Easy Cheese in a can. Easier to squirt out, but worse for the ozone!

                            Around 1981 I had a kind of fruit drink that came in a long transparent bag with a straw in one side... came in various flavours. Think it was called Cisco Kid or Sisko Kid or something... Never saw it again.
