I remember Jello 1-2-3 very well, I actually liked it. In fact, a year or two ago I looked for some in the store...
Why on earth would she have saved these...?
- Thread starter Unimatic1140
- Start date
Help Support :
Actually there are no UPC codes on any of these products, the latest date I could find on anything is 1973. Those dates were copyright/trademark dates, they didn't put freshness or "use by" dates on products back then. I sure am glad they do that today.
I See a Contest In the Making
How about matching the catch phrase to the product? Two columns, one with the phrases the other with the list of products, and connect the matching ones with a line.
For instance:
"Mother, please! I'd rather do it myself!" -----------ANACIN
"Try it, you'll like it!" ------------------ALKA SELTZER
etc. etc. etc. If I could do a diagonal line here I could get my concept across a little better.
You have a lot to work with there, Robert!
While I'm at it, can anyone provide the product associated with "It's stuck, Helen." ??? This is something I'd say if I were in Nate's situation with the stubborn agitator recently, but nobody ever gets it. Bonus points and instant best buddy status if you can provide Helen's response.

You kinda cheated but that's OK. I didn't really think anybody would be able to answer it off the top of their head!

Too late
I could have provided Helen's response OK, but not identified the product other than it was pizza.

That's close enough for me considering you didn't have to log on to find the answer!
I knew if there was anyone who knew the answer, I'd find them on this site!

If something has a zip code on it...
...you can be sure it is no older than 1963. This is another helpful way to date things if an address happens to be printed on it.
Larger towns and cities used zones along with the town/city before 1963. An example is "Phildelphia 24." In 1963, this became Philadelphia 19124. Based on my link it looks like zip codes were introduced in '63 but weren't mandatory until a couple of years later. That explains why I have seen ads in magazines up until '68 or so that still had zones listed in the address.
