Chiffon Margarine

Random fact: Here in Quebec it is forbidden by law to make margarine that tries to emulate the taste of butter (especially to market it that way, they can't use the word butter) or its color (the vast majority of margarine here, as a result, is white). It's been this way since i think the early 80's. It was originally lobbied by dairy farmers who claimed the margarine makers were trying to fool the customers. Of course nowadays everyone knows the difference but the law remains, just this year Unilever tried to bring out a margarine that they marketed as being close to butter and were brought to court.

You could plug it into any wall phone jack and put your money in it to call. I understand they were used in restaurants, hotels, and other public places but could be used anywhere there was a phone jack and connection. Pretty clever.

Awesome! Probably had every one of those sparkle sets... along with rubbons, stardust, and venus paradise color by number sets. Which were a huge part of my childhood, but relatively unkown or so so I've heard.

Probably posted this already, but another thing I found out wasn't as well known as it was where I grew up. Was this a local TV thing or something, or am I thinking of something else. Everyone in Bklyn NY who grew up when I did knows this show and a few of their theme songs:

Got it THE MAGIC GARDEN!



The Magic Garden was a locally-produced half-hour children's show that aired weekdays on WPIX in New York City from 1972 to 1984 and was also syndicated to other parts of the country. The show starred co-hosts Carole Demas and Paula Janis, who sang and played guitar throughout the program, which took place on a studio set decorated like a "magic garden." The Magic Garden set included a Magic Tree with two tree swings, as well as a barn, a stone path, and a giggling bed of flowers called the "The Chuckle Patch," that grew at the foot of the Magic Tree. There were also two puppet characters on the show -- Sherlock, a mischievous pink squirrel, and Flap, a happy, colorful duck-like bird.

Each half-hour episode of the show included songs, games, jokes, stories, and life lessons. At some point in the show, one of the co-hosts would pluck a leaf from the Chuckle Patch and ask the other co-host a simple joke question that was written on one side of the leaf. When the other co-host couldn't answer the question, she would then turn the leaf over and read the punch-line answer written on the other side. There was also a "Story Box" that provided the hosts with costumes and props for acting out stories on each show.
