1951 • Nik-L-Nip 5 Penny Nips were a classic penny-candy novelty—bite the top, drink the fruity syrup, and chew the wax. A little bottle of fun for just 5¢.
Did you have these as a kid?

67 years ago today, October 2, 1959, The Twilight Zone premiered on CBS with "Where Is Everybody?," starring Earl Holliman as a man who finds himself alone in a deserted town. Created by Rod Serling, the anthology featured unrelated stories of paranormal, futuristic or otherwise unsettling events, each typically built around a moral and a surprise ending.
Serling served as executive producer and head writer, writing or co-writing 92 of the show's 156 episodes, and as host and narrator, delivering opening and closing monologues that explained how each character had entered the Twilight Zone. The series featured established stars such as Buster Keaton, Burgess Meredith, Ed Wynn and Joan Blondell, along with younger actors who later became famous, including William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Robert Redford, Robert Duvall, Burt Reynolds and Dennis Hopper.
The original series ran five seasons, ending June 19, 1964. In 1997, TV Guide ranked "To Serve Man" and "It's a Good Life" among the 100 greatest episodes of all time, while Serling named "The Invaders" and "Time Enough at Last" as his own favorites. The Writers Guild of America ranked it the third best written TV series ever in 2013, the same year TV Guide named it the fifth greatest show of all time.

That's an official boy scout knife, I used to have one for most of my life but can't find it now

Yes you're right but I can remember bein in Mississippi in late 60's and they had self serve, I couldn't believe it when I first seen it.

Yes you are right but if you read closely it's a question to find the modern day item that doesn't belong

There wasn't self serve in the 60s and there wasn't cash or credit prices.

I keep lookin this over and I don't see anything about cash or credit

64 years ago today, October 4, 1962, The Saint premiered on ITV in Britain with the episode "The Talented Husband." Roger Moore starred as Simon Templar, the suave adventurer known as the Saint, a modern day Robin Hood who recovered ill gotten wealth and outwitted criminals around the world.
The character was created by author Leslie Charteris, whose Saint novels and short stories dated back to 1928. Moore had earlier tried to buy the screen rights to the books himself, and he later became co-owner of the series. Many episodes were adapted from Charteris' stories, and the early ones opened with Moore speaking directly to the audience in character before a halo appeared over his head. Most of the wardrobe he wore on screen was his own.
The series ran six seasons and 118 episodes, 71 in black and white and 47 in color, beginning with "Queen's Ransom," the first color episode and the first not based on a Charteris story. The final episode, "The World Beater," aired February 9, 1969.
