Popcorn came in these. When you were done, you could turn them into a megaphone.

I have one of these

I saw one on Ebay a few years ago that went for about $35. I wish I would have bid on it.

"Ding Ding the Singing Bird" was a vendor back then, but I thought he sold something else, like peanuts maybe. He used to sing on a no-budget Saturday night show on UHF channel 26 called "New Orleans Night People". It was sponsored by water bed king Kagan's Korner.

The idea of buying a freshly drafted beer right from the keg appeals to me.

You don't think that the keg backpack was a money maker?

The beerman could sell a few beers "off the books" and keep the money for himself.

They probably counted cups. Unless the vendor was refilling friends or reusing cups, he probably couldn't steal much beer.

Would you post pics of the reverse side, please? I'd also like to see the piece as if it were ready to receive popcorn.

Conrad Dobler was one mean SOB! Did anyone else go try pulling players' chinstraps while they walked back to the locker room at halftime?

Great thread guys - many thanks
It stirs up memories that may have otherwise been left untapped. The popcorn box/megaphone picture brought back the memory of that loud and clear.

Thats classic there......... Somebody got a gift from the past..........

Jax Beeah Man Hee-yahhh !!!

I remember going to games at Tulane Stadium with my Dad. Walking up the ramps from Claiborne, past the large shrubs, smelling cigars, men with hats, etc. Peeing behind the columns because the Men's room line was too long :)
Too bad we missed Dempsey's kick on 11/8/70 and were walking down the ramp, but we were able to race back up to see the stadium in absolute bedlam...
