Laz, Rambi wouldn't remember those cool things either, as she is somewhat younger than I am. <g> How many months? I'll have to fire up my Windoze calculator and get back to you on that. There were seven deaths by Tylenol poisoning, and the only arrest and conviction ever made was a man who had attempted to extort money from J&J. I believe he was given 20 years. Some say he was also strongly suspected of the actual poisonings but he was never charged with that, and that is not what he was put on trial for. - Holly

I am far too young to have heard of any of those things in this lifetime, but from an earlier incarnation I remember almost all of them. They didn't mention wax lips. I loved chewing wax lips. I still remember our telephone number. Hobart3-4232. And the way the milk bottles on cold mornings would pop their little paper caps into the air on a column of frozen cream. We used to earn prizes by going around the neighborhood with these cardboard sheets that came in the mail. They had little punch out circles with a number under them. FOr a nickel or a dime, the people picked a number. I have no recollection of ever actually getting a prize, or delivering one, and I wonder if I just sold a few and then took the money to Riley's Store and bought a cherry coke and a Little Lulu comic book.
