Well I don't know how far back you lot are going, but I was telling my 85 year old mum (who had forgotten where the washpowder Christmas decs had come from) about this thread today. She says when she was small they used to give away little plastic fish shapes in the lids of cocoa. When you put them on your hand they curled and moved. We could be into early 1920s here. And I too had a spud gun and a Mr Potatohead! I also remember the first stripe toothpaste in the UK. I think it was Signal "with the mouthwash in the stripes". It's still going. I remember Euthymol tooth powder and another that was specifically for smokers. I don't think they make it any more. But you can get beefy flavoured stuff for dogs! Andrea
