Here is a picture of a pair of earrings I still have
that date back to the seventies. I don’t think I’ve worn them in decades, but
it seems wrong to part with them.
I’m sure Mom gave the earrings to me one year
for Christmas. They sport the Pillsbury Doughboy proclaiming love me, squeeze me, take me home! I was
always very fond of the Pillsbury Doughboy, or Poppin Fresh, as he is also
referred to in commercials. He has a squeaky voice and in the commercials, he giggles
if you press his tummy. I used to do a fair imitation of that squeaky giggle. On
another Christmas I received the Poppin Fresh doll with his own stand – I think
he was still around when my girls were little, but eventually he went to the
Goodwill hopefully for others to enjoy.

| Love me, Squeeze me, Take me home! |
One of
the Pillsbury Doughboy’s sayings was love
me, squeeze me, take me home. I can remember him saying that, but this
morning I cannot find any youtube videos of it. There are a few tee shirts for sale
with the doughboy and those words. I’ll bet I’m the only one who has the
earrings, though!
