Haha loved Mr Ed when I was a little girl. Can't recall a fave episode, but loved watching it with my folks. Very clever, and of course I DID actually think the horse could talk til my Mum informed me otherwise!

Yes, I recall naughty boys flinging those stalks at the girls in the playground! My fave outdoor games were tiggy and kiss chasey and boys could never catch me as I was too speedy! Also enjoyed skipping games and ball games.

Haha sounds cool those straws! We had flavoured milk in those silly slippery pouches, as mentioned I was 11 or 12 yrs old in 1972 and 73 and remember it well. My Dad dropped a large milk pouch and was not happy as we lived 45 mins drive from town ...lots of swearing, but good old neighbours gave...

Yes, I remember lining up for milk in bottles every morning at school, but didn't like it very much...til they brought in flavoured milk! Caramel was my fave aged 11 or 12 during 72 - 73. Also pouches were introduced, but were slippery and poor little kids would lose all their milk in the dirt...

Oh yum! I didn't have a corner store nearby, as 45 min drive where I lived with my family. However, Fri afternoons my Mum would sometimes buy a bag at one of the many corner stores after she completed her weekly shopping. I would get a lift with other school kids into town with the school...

Loved an orange flavoured sunny boy st swimming lessons on a hot sunny day. Also an orange freeze at local milkbar. A tall glass of orange crushed ice.. lovely!

Mr Squiggle the man from the moon! I certainly did watch it, and very clever with the drawings and fun little show during that era.
