This may be more of a regional memory, but does anyone remember Lipton Tea advertising to make Gallon size tea in Glass jugs? You had to do it on hot days in the summer when you had lots of sun?

We often made sun tea in the summer. I don't specifically remember Lipton Tea advertising sun tea, but that's probably what started us making sun tea since Lipton was the brand we grew up knowing.
While iced tea steeped in the sun tastes better than iced tea made from steeping in boiling water and then cooled, steeping tea in the sun creates a breeding ground for bacteria, especially if sugar is added to the water before setting the jar out in the sun. The best tasting iced tea is made by steeping it in the refrigerator.
Apparently, you want to reserve the higher qualities tea leaves/bags for hot tea. Lower quality tea leaves/bags are acceptable for iced tea. I knew whole leaves or larger pieces of tea leaves are higher quality than the bags that contain "dust." But I didn't realize tea leaf quality isn't all that important with iced tea.

I tried two things like this when I was a kid. The first one was trying to fry an egg on a sidewalk. Which works kinda... I think it works better on an asphalt street. But eggs were expensive for me as a kid, so I tried it once, it didn't quite work and that was the end of that experiment. The sun tea thing i was a little older, but I still didn't quite get it right, so back to boiling tea on the stove for me.

I honestly forgot about Shasta sodas. At one point in my life, Coke and Pepsi ceased to exist for me! In fact, I blame Shasta for getting as big as I did. I graduated from Pepsi and Coke because not only did Shasta taste better, but the two liter bottles were WAY cheaper! Root Beer had to be my favorite flavor. I didn't like the Cola as much. It was cheaper, but Pepsi tasted better.

Right after I posted this, I went to the supermarket. Not only don't they have Shasta anymore, I couldn't find the one soda flavor that I absolutely adore. I love strawberry soda, no matter the brand. Not on my store shelves, in any brand. The closest I could find was strawberry lemonade.

Remember this? I was scanning the streaming channels and saw this commercial from The Red Skelton show. It was a Tide Commercial. Looking at the box it struck me as to how I don't even think you can find it in a box anymore.

Remember him??? Hmm, maybe not! Hee hee, this is a trick question. One of these dogs is Spuds Mckenzsie, the Budlight dog. The other is Meatball from the show Black Sheep Squadron. Care to guess which is which?

Shasta is something I hadn't seen for years until the main supplier for the store I work at changed their store brand 2 years ago. They had to get Shasta in because the new store brand only has bottles and 12pk cans. They needed smaller packs of cans as well.

I've only seen one box size for many years. It's actually more of a cube now.

Billy Dee was hot at the time, and I'm firmly convinced that this was part of the reason why he nailed the part of Lando Calrissian in that space movie!

And in Canada as well with a different hostess and content. DooBee was a concept not a puppet. Do be courteous for instance.

I remember Romper Room, but I never watched it. I was way too old for that. I was born back there in Captain Kangaroo, and Bozo the Clown times.
On the Romper Room I grew up with Dobee was a Mascot and a concept. The character was a man in a bee costume who would show up for certain segments., especially an exercise segment (Do Bee active, and healthy) among others. At the end of each epsode the hostess would look into the "Magic Mirror" and call out the names of children she could see who were good Do Bees (names sent in by parents I believe).
I also remember Bozo and Captain Kangaroo.

That's not really sying much since both Bozo and the Captain were still on the air into the 80s. Heck, I was watching them when I was five and I'm 63 now. And I know they were on before that.

I watched it until it went off in the 80s. I think they even changed the name to "Good Morning Captain".
