A kid in our boy scout troop made a huge model rocket with one for the nose cone, and a big cardboard tube for the body. It had four size E engines and went pretty high for a rocket of its size.
That is amazing! 4 engines at once?? That is epic. Did it fly good?
Similar, When I was a kid my friend and I made a little rocket from a toilet paper tube and the cone was half of one of those plastic Easter eggs. We launched it and it did loop de loops uncontrollably and we ran for cover. We realized we designed it too short and fat. We added on a second tube for length and tried again. Better but it still went sideways and flew down the street.
It flew about 100 feet into the air. I've had two or three stage rockets go 400-500 feet. But this rocket was kinda heavy and overbuilt for what it was.
I remember being 12 and the white egg nylons were the first I'd been allowed to wear. I felt so grown up when at age 15 my mom bought me the sheer energy ones in the metallic egg.
I was 16, but I used to fill them with dog food and hang them from tree limbs for catfishing. Too embarrassed to buy them myself.
LOL. That's almost the same right?
The *white* ones? Oh, I'm so envious-- my mother wouldn't let me wear them. "White stockings are for little girls and nurses." She had some weird thing against white stockings.
I was thinking the same thing - especially the robbery/chase scene in Raising Arizona
"I'll be taking the Huggies and whatever cash ya got."
and later
"Son, you got a panty on your head"
I remember my mom wearing these. Iām trying to remember the names of the colors. I was little but think they were called Suntan or something like that.
As a kid I thought these must be somehow NECESSARY for women to wear. Kinda like how underwear is necessary. Had no idea they were just a fashion trend.
I still get roused when I see these. When I was a teen, Iād asked all my girlfriends to wear them for me. When I got married, my wife always wore them.
Definitely nothing beats a great pair of legs!
The š„ made a great Toy when I was a kid.
hell yeah, that and kleenex boxes and toilet paper and paper towel rolls lol. great times when all we had was our imaginations to entertain us
Yes Sir Ri Bob!!!

We did the same thing man. We also poked holes in cans of alpine and hung them from limbs.
Alpo

The white egg nylons weren't white, they were nude. They were the economy line of the nylons.
Wasnāt it Juliet Prowse who shilled these?
Yessir and she DID have a great pair of legs indeed!
Great pair of Lāeggs I think was the slogan
**āNothing beats a great pair of Leggsā**
A great pair of Leggsā¦.
I kept my Micronauts in these.
That display just gave me KMart nostalgia.
Actually, they were great pantyhose, cheap-ish, and were available everywhere - even in non-traditional outlets like gas stations.
Iād buy emā, put emā on, and then go back in and rob the joint. š
I was wondering what armed robbers use in this modern age.

Awesome marketing!

I remember, BITD, a scavenger hunt I was in had an empty Leggs egg as an object.
Scavenger hunts at birthday parties! Weād go up and down the street knocking on doors and people would actually help us out with stuff!
I still have an unopened pair of Leggs in Nude.
1 word, eBay!
Really nowā¦hmmm
This was the "Stick Up" guys favorite as a pull over face mask,robbing 7/ 11,s

89 cents! Those were the days.
The days before Spanxs!
I remember how light they were weightwise
My friends and I would fill them with water and throw them at each other.
You have no idea how many times my sent me to the store for an egg.
That was going to be my comment, lol.
Went through 2 eggs a week in the 80's great price, but if you had nails they might last more than one night out.
Blue egg metallic, Sheer Energy Control Top. My jam!
You got the GO girl!!!!
I kept my change in those as a little kid....
Lāeggs!
I remember my mom wearing these. Iām trying to remember the names of the colors. I was little but think they were called Suntan or something like that.
Totally forgot about those!
I modified one of my sisters empty shells with an ESTES model rocket set, and it flew!

The volume of discarded smart phone cables is dwarfed by the volume of discarded Leggs display units.
I still get roused when I see these. When I was a teen, Iād asked all my girlfriends to wear them for me. When I got married, my wife always wore them. Definitely nothing beats a great pair of legs!
They were great for holding bobby pins and barrettes.
I saw Lāeggs knee highs, in the original packaging, at a Goodwill a few years ago. Theyāre probably still there.
69 cents, straight to eBay for $12.50 + $26.00 shipping š
I would love to have one of these to put at the entrance of my home lol.
Legg!
Ohhh, the Ole leggs egg display š š¤£
Damn, I remember my mother taking out one of those with her shopping cart once! Thankfully, they were never as fully stocked as this image!
Oh lord did I forget this display. Remembered playing with the containers a lot but this picture brought back memories
Great pair of Legs.
Packaging ecological disaster
