I'm old enough to remember using a fake ID to get a sixpack of these in '76:



Never had these, but remember seeing the empties by the side of the road:

This was from the very first season of SNL ('75-'76), when it was just called "NBC's Saturday Night".



NBC originally wanted to call it "Saturday Night Live" but at the same time (but in prime time), ABC had a variety(!?) show with Howard Cosell as host called "Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell".


After that flopped, NBC started calling their show "Saturday Night Live".

And the rest... is history

My uncle named his beagles after beers. At one point he has Falstaff, Fabacher and Carling.

Falstaff was popular and well advertised beer in the 60s and I think even the 70s. Maybe it was regional. They had a brewery in New Orleans. We considered it a cheap beer, like Jax and PBR. Michelob was the best mass produced premium beer. You could get a quart bottle of Falstaff for about 75 cents.

Any collectors in the bunch? I have been hoarding a full six pack of Harley Davidson Beer from the 1984 Sturgis rally. It was brewed under special label by Falstaff.

Hazel Shaw, 50s and 60s pin up girl



With a little search, she's reading Teddy, Golly, and Bunny. I'm still learning things.

The Golliwog shortened to Golly was a caricature of a minstrel. Goes back over 100 years. There Golly dolls and books are collectibles. I'm sure they would get you sent to the reeducation camps today.

In the mid '60s a NorCal band called The Blue Velvets



Signed with new managers, who demanded they change their name to The Golliwogs





They had one great record:
The Golliwogs - "Fight Fire"

You probably know The Golliwogs better as Creedence Clearwater Revival.

A Burger Chef fast food restaurant.

Started by Frank and Donald Thomas who patented the flame broiler for cooking hamburgers, Burger Chef was the second largest fast food chain behind only McDonalds (1,600 to 1,200 in 1972) and also was ahead of McDonalds by introducing the Funmeal (burger, fries, drink, cookie, and toy) six years before the Happy Meal.
