In 1905 Jell-O was still a new product, struggling to gain popularity with homemakers. The 10 cent price was considered expensive in those days, equivalent to $2.50 today. Housewives did not believe the claims that all you had to do was add water to Jell-O to have a dessert. The product below is a slightly different product than we are familiar with, that is supposed to be used to make ice cream.<br />

It is no shock that children during the eighteenth century often died as infants, and as many times during infancy the baby is teething, it may have seemed natural that the teething itself was the source of illness and death. The Anodyne Necklace was invented to simply place around a baby’s neck to prevent infant death during teething. Chamberlen deserves the last place on this list for preying and capitalizing on the grief and terror of parents who were more often than not during this period resigned to the fact that their children would be more likely to die in infancy than to make it to adulthood.<br />

ATM machines were a new concept, and demonstrations of how to use the machine were given, so that customers would give them a chance (and also allow the bank to employ fewer tellers).<br />

I remember my mom having a Barbara Moss credit card with me listed as a user, and the limit was $50. I bought every trendy thing here as soon as it hit the clearance rack. Even today I never pay retail! Sasson jeans (bet you didn't know they were the official jeans of the NY Rangers!), Gitano jeans, Jelly Bracelets, Bongo Jeans with palm trees printed on them, day-go tee shirts, punk rock style shirts with zippers. If it was a fad, they had it sooner or later. Our Barbara Moss was in City Center plaza in Watertown, NY, along with a few other stores like Music for You, a headshop, and Tops and Bottoms.<br />

According to <a href="http://evelknievel.com/">evelknievel.com</a>, here is how he got his famous moniker:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25.5499992370605px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
After a police chase in 1956, in which he crashed his motorcycle, Knievel was taken to jail on a charge of reckless driving. When the night jailer came around to check roll call, he noted Robert Knievel in one cell and William Knofel in another. Knofel was well known as “Awful Knofel” (“awful” rhyming with “Knofel”) so Knievel began to be referred to as Evel Knievel (“Evel” rhyming with “Knievel”). He chose this misspelling because of his last name and because he didn’t want to be considered “evil”.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25.5499992370605px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
And thus the legend was born…</blockquote>

It says "You'll know to whom each design may appropriately be sent." So, for example, you might not want to send the "China-man" egg with the braid to one of your Asian friends, it would probably not be appropriate. Many of my friends would probably enjoy the silent movie villain with the top hat and the mustache. The top left looks like either a mean cat, or a badger, with a monocle. The top right, I have no idea...<br />

It's interesting to see how Mr. Peanut has changed over the years. The Mr. Peanut mascot was designed by a child who won a contest sponsored by Planters in 1916.<br />

Combines animal abuse with unsupervised child. You have to wonder, did the child put the cat on this electrical battery to be shocked, or did he happen to come across a cat who jumped up there by himself? Disturbing, either way!<br />

<br />
Moxie began life as a tonic that promised to cure anything from paralysis to nervous exhaustion. In 1884 Moxie was sold in bottles and in bulk as soda fountain syrup. The secret ingredient, the gentian plant, was said to sometimes taste like turnips, and resembled asparagus or milkweed. The new marketing strategy promoted Moxie as "a delicious blend of the bitter and the sweet, a drink to satisfy everyone's tastes." Moxie's unusual flavor was an acquired taste; advertisements urged consumers to "learn to drink Moxie" and turned it's bitterness into a virtue by boasting that it was "never sticky sweet." Moxie-flavored lollipops were given to children to help them learn to like it. In this ad, it states that the drink is sold by all temperance beverage sellers.<br />
