1952 - advertising to children is born
1. The popular Mr. Potato Head toy is first sold during May .
2. The toy consisted of little plastic goofy faces and body pieces meant to be placed on real vegetables.
3. George Lerner, the creator of the toy, thought that his invention would help make vegetables more appetizing and fun for children.
4. Just prior to the release of Mr. Potato Head, it became the first toy to be advertised on television at the end of the previous month.
5. It was a success and over one million were sold within the first year.

January 1952: Having been selected as "Miss Kangaroo," Loretta North of Australia got to tour the United States in the company of two kangaroos, while doing publicity events to promote the movie Kangaroo (starring Maureen O'Hara and Peter Lawford). One of the kangaroos promptly died. Loretta had to be hospitalized for strep throat. And it proved impossible to toilet train the other kangaroo.
April 1952: In Cambridge, Massachusetts, Theodore Murphy complained to police that a man he did not know appeared at his apartment door, punched him in the face twice, and departed saying, "You know who I am."
May 1952: Male students at the University of Idaho conducted a "reverse panty-raid." They showed up "whoopin' and hollerin" at a female dormitory in the middle of the night, but instead of stealing panties from the girls, they auctioned underwear to them. They donated the proceeds to the Crippled Children's Fund. Signs at the event encouraged participation by declaring, "I'd give my panties for a crippled kid."
That's the spirit.
What better supper is there than dill pickle flavored chips and buttered rice?
Bacon on top.
A comeback just won't do, I think.
I agree.
When you have bacon, what else need be said, eh.
I wonder what a bacon enthusiast thinks about hot dogs?
A waste of dog food.

WAFFLES!!!!
I've just had a weird dream.
I was in a strange campus bedroom with a guy (very handsome and hot) who used to court my sister...many many years ago.
Then I stripped before him saying :"now I look better than her"....
lol....
