Aren't you glad you use Dial?
Don't you wish everybody did?

Nestle's Quick was ALWAYS on our kitchen counter and I drank it all of my life.
Favorite Memory Relating To Chocolate Milk: When I was really little, I watched Romper Room every single school day morning and the kids on that show always had milk during snack time. (Oh my GOODNESS! did I ever want to drive that cool Romper Room milk truck!) When the kids on the show would have their milk, my sweet mama would mix up a mug of chocolate milk for me so I could have mine with them. How amazingly sweet and precious is that? I can't tell you how many times in my adult life I have thought about those beautiful, innocent days and wished that my mom and I could do them all over again.
I used to love playing with empty deodorant or hair spray cans. My mom would let me have the cans once they were empty and I would use them to play house. I liked pretending that I was using deodorant or hairspray just like my mom.
One day, my mom allowed me to but a mini can of hairspray from Ben Franklin's. She let me play with it and I enjoyed emulating my mom by spraying my hair. I sprayed it over and over and over again that day. By bedtime, I was out of hairspray and in desperate need of a good bath. LOL
I loved storing things in the metal cans once they were emptied. My friend, Lynn and I also loved taking them to the wading pool with us. No idea why. It just seemed like the thing to do. lol
Many of these items are still available in some form or another but the ones you see here are represented in their original packaging and it's that packaging that invokes so many childhood memories for me. These are some of the staple items that you could find in our house (and everyone else's) just about any day of any given year. Who knew that such seemingly insignificant items would be the keepers of so many of my favorite memories?
