I bet I've still got some of those hankies in the bottom of a drawer somewhere. Washed and ironed by mum many years ago, put away with the undies, moved from house to house, never thrown away. Now sentimental value. If i found them I'd probably start crying, and need to use a hankie... |

Soap on a rope. Now that does bring back memories.
I got one in the shape of a lemon once. "
Possibly the 70’s equivalent of bath bombs! |
