Nu Di eh?, my Mom called it "Di-dee" so I thought that was the name....We had those diaper hampers for years after. How about Abbott's dairy, Breyer’s, Pott’s ice cream - in your backyard.

Summers in the 50s were hot, without a/c. Kids stayed outside most of the time. Early in the summer, watermelons (seasonal then) became available, but the prices were pretty high, comparatively.

As summer wound down, watermelon prices would drop. My brother and I would go along the roadways and parking areas and pick up soda bottles. In a couple of days we could collect enough to turn in to the grocrery and get enough money to buy a big watermelon. Bottle returns were about 2-cents and watermelon prices had dropped to 1-to-2-cents per pound.
