I think that Dave might be living in a slightly deprived part of the country
since both Ovaltine and Dad's Root Beer are still sold in central
Pennsylvania - at least at the store where I shop. I don't buy
choclate mix but I do enjoy Dad's old-fashioned root beer!

Ovaltine! All the other items on my list have not surfaced here however. Now for something completely different. How many people out there remember kid's radio shows? How many can you name and can you name their sponsors? Here is a partial list: Captain Midnight Ovaltine (there it is again) Jack Armstrong Wheaties Tom Mix Ralston-Purina Hop Harrigan Post Grape Nuts Flakes Sky King Skippy Peanut Butter Smilin' Ed McConnell Buster Brown Shoes Lassie ??? dog food Can you add to this list? To our younger players I would say, yes radio use to be like television, only without pictures. p.s. In this deprived part of the country PSU stands for Portland State University. -- Dave Williams Tektronix, Inc.
