Andrews liver salts used to make me sneeze. Loved the taste but I think there was bicarb in it if I remember corectly. Don't listen to what Alf says he's always winding me up. I CAN WAIT. Jean.
 
Seeing the toothpaste ads does anyone remember Kolynos toothpaste, it was red and was supposed to make your gums redder so your teeth looked whiter. I think it was American, we all tried it when we were teenagers but it was dearer than the regular brands. Haven't seen it in donkey's years.
 
Sylvia, I remember using a toothpaste in the mid-1950's that was supposed to make your teeth look whiter because it tinted the gums. I wonder if it was Kolynos as I can't remember the name. I used it on Saturday nights before I went dancing.

Camp coffee was liquid ,some people disliked it intensely Jean, but I quite liked it, but then when I was young, I'd eat and drink anything, I was always hungry!
