Marimekko is still available and fashionable for us Dwell magazine reading folk!
Those are back as fixed gear bicycles among some trendier urbanites.
How about when a “ten speed” bicycle had a total of ten gear ratios, not ten sprockets on the rear wheel (with two or three on the crank to get a total of twenty or thirty gear ratios)?
Nothing hi tech about this one; it’s called an adapter.
Interesting that it took almost 300 posts to find something that I had any idea what you’re talking about. 
@intparent and @LBowie, there is a Marimekko outlet store in Manchester Center, Vermont, in case you’re ever traveling in western New England.
Bonne Bell Ten-O-Six lotion
Lip Smackers
Kissing Potion - lip gloss that came in little glass bottles with a roll on applicator
Lip Lickers - lip gloss in little metal rectangular tins.
Wait…is that like Bonne Belle lipgloss, the Kissing Potion?
Sweet Honesty and Heaven Scent perfum, Drakkar Noir and Polo aftershave.
Love’s fresh lemon spray. Apple festivals at school, where you purchased apples on sticks encased in hard red candy. Huge sweetarts, which we ate while watching TARZAN on TV, and which made our tongues sore and our teeth full of holes. Chalky-tasting sugarless gum passed out by the dentist after our visits where he drilled our teeth without any novocaine. And after college - asparagus crates used to store cassette tapes on top and albums on the bottom. Futon on the floor to sleep on. Swamp coolers to cool the air instead of A/C
“Swamp coolers to cool the air instead of A/C”
Okay. Had to ask the husband about this term.
Swamp coolers are still around…
@Waiting2exhale According to google, Kissing Potion was a Maybelline item.
Speaking of dentists, remember those red tablets you’d get that you chewed to show how horrible you were at brushing your teeth?
Grape lipstick
Oh, that was really a ‘like’ as is ‘similar to,’ not the way kids use it. Thanks.
The red tablets! Yeah, right along with that scar from the smallpox (or was it Polio?) vaccination?
Loves Baby Soft perfume. I had a scented candle in that scent that I probably toted around til I was 40.
Re: #313
The scar is from the smallpox vaccination, which involved scratching/jabbing the skin with live vaccinia virus, which causes a minor infection and sore, but produced immunity to smallpox. However, in rare situations (e.g. weak immune systems), vaccinia infection can be dangerous.
Polio vaccine can be given orally with a live weakened virus, or by injection with an inactivated virus. The oral version tends to produce stronger immunity and is easier to administer, but carries a very small risk of back-mutating to a dangerous kind of polio. The injected version is the usual one in the US now since polio is rare, but the oral version was given in the past when polio was endemic.
Someone beat me to Kissing Potion. Definitely by Maybelline.
Lip Smackers
Charlie perfume
Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific shampoo
Bermuda bags with the changeable cover (I listed for one but never got it)
Mia brand clogs
Jordache jeans, Fiorenza jeans
Breck shampoo, Pert shampoo, Prell shampoo
I remember a sci fi novel involving time travel. The protagonist recognized a common travelor by her smallpox vaccine scar back in the novel’s time.
My smallpox scar is still barely there but the decades have nearly erased it. Look on your left arm for a circle of little dimples.
Farrah Fawcett shampoo. Just Farrah Fawcett in general. And Charlie’s Angels.
I think that the live (oral) vaccination for polio is also given for those who are in close contact with someone who may be immuno-compromised, or was in the earlier days of HIV discovery and AIDS therapies. (Could have that backward, but I seem to remember something…)
And on that note, folks…Kaposi sarcoma.
