Good one. Like, when golfers and baseball players weren’t athletes.

"Two ringey dingey ..."

"Is this the party to whom I am speaking?"

I remember those when I was young. Recall a night encountering those marking a closed lane approaching a bridge. My young mind automatically thought the road was on fire and we were going to die on that bridge.

I remember getting Mr. Peabody and Shermon Drinking GLASSES made of real glass, from Burger Kine/McDonalds and sitting outside at a picnic table and eating my food.

I also had Sylvester, Tweety, Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, George Jetson glasses. they were like 35 cents apiece. That wa more than a candy bar

When I was little, my grandma had our favorite glasses from there, and she always got them out when we came to visit.
My favorite character was road runner
