The biggie was the pastel flowery living room set and seaside collection accessories.
Today's equivalent is gold Yamaha golf carts (confession I have 2). Now you know why people put their names on them. I was at CVS one day and explaining to my wife why we need our name on the cart/s. She would have no part of it. She was explaining to me I shouldn't publish who I am just in case one of those rare moments occur where I slightly step out of line. Right then a gold Yamaha golf cart pulls next to us with a surfboard mounted to the roof. I smiled and pointed what about one of them ? I was told to go in the store and get my meds.
