this is a flashback friday favorite post from years ago ~
in yesterday's post i mentioned chocolate sodas being toxic's favorite, our great grandma had an ice-cream counter way back in the 30's & so knew how to make delicious sodas & malts ~
so toxic got this cool vintage suzy homemaker soda shoppe one xmas ~
so that she could make sodas too ~
tragically though every time she'd get her mom to buy the bosco for it her big sisters would use it up before anyone would help her make one, so it never got used! ~
even still, i've had it on my bucket list forever (my bucket list is all old toys i want back.. lol) ~
it's a fairly rare suzy homemaker toy so i snagged this one on ebay when i saw it ~
although it's missing a couple pieces & the instructions ~
(i don't imagine i'll actually be using it to make sodas now either, since i had to clean 50 year old chocolate off of it..) ~
by topper toys 1969 (perhaps the 1968 model was the one shown on the box with the aqua handles & knobs?) ~
the box is in excellent condition with colorful graphics ~
toxic also had the suzy homemaker stove & blender which are less rare & i hope to cross them off my list sometime soon as well (click these links for updates) ~
the name suzy homemaker has become a bit of a derogatory term among feminists i hear, but i loved my suzy homemaker toys anyway & they didn't turn me into a cliche 50's housewife ~
besides my view of feminism is having freedom of choice to be & do whatever you like, not just trade one master for another, am i right? ~
have a ball! ~
lol.. mr dad took an update photo! ~
lost & found!! :) ~
btw ice-cream is the base of my food pyramid ~
ghost & toxic
