The Gossamer Woman: Ha! Yeah, either me or my parents; I doubt they would have allowed me to join... which is a good thing.

Daisy: Oooh! I always wanted those Sea Monkeys! I really thought they came with crowns...

Bruce: Ah, yes. Bazooka Joe bubble gum. It was THE BEST. Although, the comics wrapped around them, were not.

CherokeeFox: I eventually got a banana seat and high rise handlebars too; but for my regular-sized bike. Not so cool...

FeeFiFoto: See? You're a good parent. They may be pissed now, but good for you for showing them that advertisers shouldn't take advantage of little kids.

Be.Bart: Awesome! Hide the photos now.

VE: You are incredible... I literally laughed out loud! OMG. Hilarious!!!!

Janet! Why am I not surprised! I loved David too! All my friends lusted after Donny Osmond; not me. I loved Cassidy.

Swubird: Ahahaha! Yes, I DO remember those ads too!

Maureen:

Cool stuff, and a great job of researching everything. Of course, I go back a bit farther with the ads for body building (remember the skinny guy getting sand kicked in his face? That was me). Then there was always the x-ray glasses. When I was a skinny little kid I didn't really know what those thing. But gim-me a pair of those babies now--oh yeah baby!

Happy trails.

I was never in JSCA either, but I did have a bike with banana seat and monkey handlebars (as we called them)! And I thought David Cassidy or Bobby Sherman would marry me someday. *deflated sigh*

I had a cool bike with a banana seat and high handle bars. As a kid of the seventies, I had the medium long hair and you wouldn't catch me outside without my groovy sloppy seventies cap on.

Man, my kids will die with laughter when they see those films/photos.

My kids still want to fall for scams like these. They recite commercials to me verbatim and I feel like such a curmudgeon warning them that most of the ads they see on TV are complete exaggerations or fabrications.

I grew up in the 60's but don't remember the JSCA. But I did have a bike with a banana seat. It was pink and the seat was white with big groovy hippie flowers. I guess I rode a million miles on that bike.

I can still remember when Bazooka Joe Bubble gum was only a penny......when it went to 2 cents, I knew my childhood had come to an end.

You can get lots of cool stuff from the back of comic books. Like Sea Monkeys! If you order some, I should tell you that they are not really monkeys.

I'm glad you never joined that rotten club. You must have had some sense in that young head of yours.
