This list all started because I was hunting for my lip balm. Instead of the one I was after, I found Harry’s Cherry Chapstick, and used that. And it’s amazing how that iconic flavor of that lip balm took me back to being a kid! They have all kinds of flavors now from cake to fruit punch, but when I was kid, Cherry was as good as it got, and I loved it! Granted, through the years it’s lost a lot of it’s “waxy” taste, I’m sure because ingredients and flavorings have improved through the years, but it still – smelled and tasted like childhood to me!

So, on that note, here are 5 of my childhood favorites:

1. Cherry Chapstick: This was my favorite Chapstick lip balm, I mean, if I used it I’d be just like Suzy “Chapstick” Chaffee right? 😉

2. Suave Strawberry Shampoo: I think I may I tried to eat this stuff once because it smelled so good! 😀 It was my favorite shampoo as a child, it’s unfortunate that now Suave Shampoo and I don’t get along very well, my hair now seems to hate it, lol.

3. Love’s Baby Soft and Love’s Lemon cologne: I loved both of these! I even had that promotional t-shirt that came out as well that proudly proclaimed in big letters across my non-existent bosom at the time – “I’m Baby Soft!”. Oh my. I went on though to love the Lemon scent even more. I see you can purchase it on Amazon, I may have to try it, although some of the reviews say not to bother as it doesn’t smell like it used to.

4. Tickle Deodorant: It was my first every deodorant. Ever. And I’m sure the draw was the cute packaging and pretty colors. I have no idea anymore if it even worked, lol.

5. Avon Perfume Pins: I still have most of my collection, usually holiday themed if I recall correctly (I’ll have to go dig them out now that I’ve remembered them!), and the funny thing is the fragrance balm is still intact in them, lol. I never cared for the fragrances, I just loved the little pins! It helped that our next-door neighbor was an Avon Lady, lol. Avon Calling! 😉

There were also a lot of memorable products, but not for good reasons, lol. QT anyone? Or how about Sun-In???

What products and so forth do you remember fondly from childhood or the teen years??
