[“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.
ReplyDeleteI almost teared up reading this. Such an innocent use of the word "swingers."
ReplyDeleteElaine, thank you for snood. Daughter Number Three, do you remember the Polaroid Swinger?
ReplyDeleteNo, Michael, I don't think I remember that camera (assuming it was a camera... hmmm).
ReplyDeleteYes, it was. My wife Elaine found this commercial on YouTube. Pretty innocent, I think: teenaged pastoralism.
