. . . when I hear the song “Take Good Care of Yourself (You Belong to Me)” and immediately think of Ocean Spray?
The same with “Gray Skies are Gonna Clear Up, Put On a (Happy Face/Windex Shine)” with Windex.
“Oh, no Mrs. Burke, I thought you were Dale!” (Grape Nuts Commercial - It fills you up, not out)
“… like jet age plastic, bullets bounce off …” I remember this as an ad for floor wax.
It was. Johnson’s Wax.
Am I a geezer yet?

“Geezer” is a personal choice thing. If you think you’re one, you are. If not, not. Other people may not see it your way, but that’s their thing.
If you’re asking a professional opinion, based on things you’re willing to say you remember when they were fresh and new, I’m going with at least pre-Geezer. At least one of those things was after color TV, so that’s iffy.

Strong username you got there.
I’d forgotten about that wonderful machine! You’d try on shoes and step up to the big box, stick your foot in there and look down in the little window at your exrayed foot. Your mom would say “wiggle your toes”. If she thought you had enough room in the toe area for your foot to grow into, the new shoes were yours!
Do you wear socks with sandals?
Then no you aren’t, X. L. Lent, and you oughta be grateful the Maker gave you the wherewithal to resist it.!

Q
and when ever you were by the shoe store, without parent, and had a free minute you went in and took a view. the machines didn’t have key lock switches, just a toggle that any kid could turn on. using one with a pair of beat up Keds was a give away you were just having fun. how cancer in the foot wasn’t higher in kids is a mystery.
Greenish hue to them, right?
Weren’t there some other “hazardous” gizmos like that that were out in plain sight for anybody and everybody to get exposed to, back before we became aware of how deadly they could be?
Asbestos
Cigarettes
Thalidomide
I bet we could (maybe should) start up a spinoff thread for that sort of thing.
It makes me wonder how many of those types of things are in vogue and being pushed hard in Infomercials.
We ain’t as smart as we’d like to think, and Geezers get a hard time by trying to point that out.
ETA: Sorry, johnpost, just now seeing your simulpost. Amazing coinkidink.
