“Get high on honey”
[“Young swingers use Golden Blossom Honey when they want a lift. It’s loaded with nature’s own quick action energy. Try it. You’ll agree Golden Blossom is groovy — on grapefruit, cereal and ice cream.” From Life, October 17, 1969.]
Try it — sure, try it, just once, and pretty soon you’re not just wanting that lift, young lady — you’re needing it, and more and more of it, day after week after month after year. One jar’s too many, and a hundred’s not enough. Golden Blossom’s street names: ace, buzz, sweet thing, yellowbird.
[Ace: as in comb.]

Groovy! It gives you the kind of energy you need to crochet snoods and vests, and it keeps your knee socks up.
I almost teared up reading this. Such an innocent use of the word "swingers."
Elaine, thank you for snood. Daughter Number Three, do you remember the Polaroid Swinger?
No, Michael, I don't think I remember that camera (assuming it was a camera... hmmm).
Yes, it was. My wife Elaine found this commercial on YouTube. Pretty innocent, I think: teenaged pastoralism.
