Um......no

I do! I also remember that they played too.......although not as good as a regular LP.

The other day I found this:



Took me only a minute to explain to my 6 year old what it was and where it came from.........at one time I had abt 150 of them, most still in the wrapper, like an idiot I sold them. They are yet another sign of a bygone era.

So I wonder how many on this board know where this came from? Speak up if ya do.

The homebrewer in me says is has something to do with cascade hops, because I know you are the top state in hop production. There are centennial hops too, but don't know if that is a second hop reference or simply the 100 anniversary of the cascade.

Yes which is not surprise since we are about the same age. I remember getting one off my Honeycombs cereal box.

those records weren't the only neat thing to come from a Honeycomb box, although these items were found inside at the bottom:

I have a wyoming plate from Wheaties I believe.

 

[Zymurgy]

I totally forgot about the mini license plates. I remember now putting one on my bike with the banana seat.

 

[detmatt]

I remember them both and had a few of the mini plates but I can't remember where they came from. Do you all remember the car related trading cards in the Wonder Bread?

I still have a couple cut out records...you mean they are worth something? Not that I will ever sell my Bobby Sherman record!

I remember miniature baseball helmets where ice-cream was served from one food chain around 1980, unfortunately misplaced a long time ago.

 

[440Sled]

The still sell ice cream in mini helmets at the baseball staiums.

As a kid, I really didn't like Honeycomb cereal much. But, Honeycombs always had the best toys, so I didn't tell mom that. I had that Archies record and actually just recently ran across it and threw it out.
In 67, Honeycombs came with a brand new blue plastic 1/64 scale Mercury Cougar. It was a very basic 1 piece body and the wheels (with axles attached) snapped onto the hollow body. In 69 the prize inside could have been a 69 Cougar, a 69 Mercury Cyclone fastback, a 69 Mercury Marauder X-100, or a 69 Mercury Marquis 4 door hardtop (I had to eat a lot of cereal to collect all four).
Another toy I remember collecting was from Mr. Clean. For a time in 1971, your mom could buy a bottle of Mr Clean and shrink wrapped to the bottle was a fairly nice 1/32 scale model car with a spring loaded "launcher" to send the cars speeding across the floor. The cars from Mr Clean were a 71 Ford Torino GT, a 71 Thunderbird, a 71 Mustang fastback and a 71 Cougar. They apparently did the same thing in 72, cause I've seen 72 models from the same series, at Carlisle. The 72 series included the Maverick, Mercury Cyclone, Thunderbird, and Torino.
I guess Ford did a better job of marketing to little kids than Chrysler did.

I recall all of these things except whatever they do at Fenway park .. farging lucky bastages .. and the license plates no recollection

Anyone remember the round baseball and football "cards" in Crane potato chips back in the 70's

 

[tallhair]

Um......no

whatever but I appreciate the updated avatar

 

[Zymurgy]

I don't remember the round baseball cards but I don't think we had those kind of potato chips. I do remember the Mr. Clean car launchers. I think I had the Mach 1.
