Born in late '68, but I do remember some of those, and am familiar with most of them.

I really like the Statler Bros, but too many of their songs make my vision blurry.

Thanks for posting. I was born in 73, but my dad loved old country so I've heard that song a million times growing up. However I never knew what some of the stuff was..

Grape Tru-Aid,..Boat neck shirts, Lucky Strike Green.

I know what Lucky Strikes are but what did the Green have to do with it..?

I'm only 36 but my parents told me about the old Burma-Shave multi sign adds. And low and behold a local retirement community has a Fund raising Fish Fry in the Summer, and it was obvious that to keep the old men active the painted up about four or five versions, using about seven signs. I wish I could remember all the saying but it brought a smile to my face for sure. :D

Lucky Strike packs signature color was a dark green until WWII. It was changed to white at that time. Now I'm reaching, but I think it had something to do with the green "dye" being needed for military items.

I'm getting old. In my old age I find I long for the guns of my youth.
Revolvers and 1911's were the handguns of my youth.
I know them and I trust them.

Lucky Strike Green was changed during the war years. WWll.

One of the slogans was:

Lucky Strike Green Goes To War.

How about "Lucky Strike, don't strike back". Anyone else ever play that game.
