DrGoat said...: Back in the late 50s, I was a kid so I ordered a bunch of this stuff. It was never quite what it was advertised to be. The most bogus thing was a flying saucer. It looked cool and the ad said it soared thru the air on it's own power. It came in the mail. It was a 2 inch in diameter flat circle of thin metal and when you pushed on the middle and layed it on a table, it would pop back (it took about 30 seconds) and spring up in the air about 4 feet. That was it.; December 21, 2011 at 6:25 AM
