For you youngsters that remember, came out in 1975, fifty one years later, still in production.
When I first saw them, I thought there was no way that they would sell....

fischtown7Remember the first time (1975-76) I saw one in Austin Texas at a Spencer's in the mall, little cardboard box with holes and straw at the bottom. Genius who ever came up with that nonsense.

After my Dad passed, I'm sure my Mom let it out in their back yard, free to roam again.
