[@terriharrah134]

I'm sixty right And I love watching these old television commercials, at night if I canti sleep . Good ole Bosco..😊

[@MrAdvance2go]

Summer in the 1960's had 3 ice cream trucks in the afternoon and a 4th in the evening, where I lived. The afternoon trucks were:. Good Humor, Pied Piper, and Carnival. The 🌃 night brought Mr. Softee. Ahhh. Marvelous time to be a kid

[@dwightpowell6673]

I had to stop the film...brought back too many memories... teary eyed now..OMG where did the time go?

The PFFlyer's commercial brought back lots of memories. We wore them all our childhood & I remember getting the ring. Also, had many pairs of Buster Brown shoes.

[@Scripts360]

I loved Bosco. Thank you Ira for preserving all of this wonderful history.

[@lapacesiaconvoi]

when Bosco ran low my mother added milk to the jar and shook it so we used it all. it probably didn't even cost a dollar.

[@9305612345]

I think a few stores still carry Bosco but now if you could find it you would get it in plastic instead of a glass bottle. Everything came in glass bottles back then.

[@paulfeagans9904]

I had many color forms sets as a child and I was always enchanted with the new plastic smell. I think I smelled them more than played with them!

We drove 550 miles every summer from Arkansas to Iowa, to visit my grandmother, my mom's sister. This went on from the mid 60's up till 1999, when grandma passed. Any way, one year mom bought me Colorforms. At one point. I guess I was so quiet for so long, she thought for a moment they had accidentally left me behind at a gas station. They really were a lot of fun. AND dad didn't get mad later because there were no melted crayons in the seats!

In the Remco "Project Yankee Doodle Test Center" commercial, the voice-over is done by Jackson Beck, who voiced the character of Bluto in the "Popeye" cartoons of the 1940s-50s.

@Rollman1 No. Colorforms were items coated on the back with a substance that allowed them to stick to a surface. I had one when I was little.. You would get a board with a drawing of someone in their underwear (I kid you not), and you would 'dress" them by sticking these Colorforms items on them. Or, if you didn't dress them outright, you could put accessories (like an umbrella that stuck) in their hand. The bad part was that these Colorforms items eventually "dried up" and wouldn't stick.
