Elsha, Clearasil & something else if I got lucky after the Junior high dance.

Yep, and then for summer baseball practice the moms would put some ammonia into an igloo with ice and water for a quick pick-me-up. I use to love that smell, it would get deep into your diaphragm.
Ours would include a few fresh squeezed lemons.
I love that stuff. Later made it for kids football games in Texas.

Ditto machine
80s kid here, I never knew this was a machine. Teachers still referred to ditto sheets, although I don't remember them having purple ink. Maybe they did, or maybe the teachers just kept calling copies ditto sheets until it was phased out.

Within 5 minutes of being invented, I can guarantee you the biggest dickhead amongst the inventors had already planned to put in the jock strap of the nerdiest of the inventors.

I remember getting this as a gift once, and my mom refused to let me have it much to my dismay, but as it turns out, chalk one up for mom. What insanity.

Yep. My first thought was Super Elastic Bubble Plastic.
...and Shrinky Dinks.

My mother was a great cook but didn't believe in cooking ventilation. I went to school wearing clothes that wreaked of onions, celery and bell peppers. (The food trinity). I remember my shirts and sweaters smelling like gumbo.

I remember pretty much all the ones posted here. Brings back good memories.
But if we are including cologne, a whiff of Royal Copenhagen still brings me back to Friday or Saturday nights heading out to the dance clubs in Gonzales.

Loved that purple quickkick.

Most of us grew up with a parent smoking in the house, non rolled down window cars and trucks. We have not real idea what anything smelled like.
But damn we played with some dangerous shite, hot plates and molds for PVC? Todays kids would exterminate the species.
My favorite toy was 2-3 ounce bottle of mercury. I chased that shite around for days at a time.
