Cap Guns, I was amazed to find some for sale at our corner convenience store. I bought one for my son and accidently fired it off in the house and it nearly blew my ear drums out.

There's a moth larvae in the bean. Make the bean warm & the larvae moves around. One day your kids will wake up to non-jumping beans with little holes in the side...and you'll have a few extra moths in the house....

I still like to eat both of those (but just the red or cherry-flavored ones).

I remember the wax bottles filled with that nasty liquid. I remember being grossed out by my brother because he would not only bite the tops off and drink the liquid, he'd also eat the wax. (He also used to eat lime and grape-flavored chapstick from Avon. Maybe he was lacking something in his diet...)

Psst spray dry shampoo. Back in the Farrah days (ca. 1978, 7th grade) it was such a dilemma . . . the hair always curled bigger and better on the second day but by then it could be a little oily at the roots.

But I don't like Spam!

I know Spam all too well, but what are Smash and Babycham? UK-only products?

Not a product, but a person: When Glenn Ford died this year, I could have sworn he died years ago.

I remember those bottles of sand or w/e that kids could build stuff out of underwater, only to pick it out of the water and find it to be completely dry! Minutes of fun when you were five or six. What do I see on TV the other day? An advert for the stuff like its a new invention!
