The Milky Bar Kid is a long running advertisement in Britain for a  
chocolate bar - Milky bar by name!  While the child playing the part  changes 
every 
few years he is usually fair haired with specs and is wearing a  cowboy 
outfit.  That last probably best demonstrates how long the basic  idea has 
lasted.  As far as I can tell little boys do not play cowboys and  Indians any 
more.

A quick google search revealed that she was a Marvel Comic Book character
http://marvel.wikia.com/Doris_Evans_(Earth-616)

Dorrie Evans was once a reluctant girlfriend of the Human Torch, she would 
constantly take second place to Johnny's adventures with the Fantastic Four. 
After their break-up she would get married and have children.


I'd never heard of her either - only very occasionally had 'American' comic 
books if they were included in our Christmas parcel from my aunt who lived 
in Canada.  I think I got about 14, but I'm too old to be a baby boomer ;-)


Malvary in Ottawa where it is a bright day, but quite cool (but after all it 
is November).

[lace-chat] Baby boomer quiz

2010-11-07 Thread Laceandbits
David said This is NOT a pushover test. It's a Baby Boomer era test!

And probably specifically an AUS or US one at that!

I guessed Remember one Flick and they're gone because it made most sense,
but have no idea where it cames from.

Never heard of Get with the strength bank on ……..   (the Wales)
or Guess whose Mum’s  (got a Whirlpool)

At that point I gave up.  Guess whose Mum goes to Iceland is a relatively
recent UK ad, but that wasn't an option!

You should have persevered.  While I agreed with your general comments  
even a non Beatles fan like me could identify the Christian names of the four  
Beatles ;-)  I managed 10 right and one or two of those were complete  
guesses.
 
Glad to see you are safely home from Newport.  hope you had a good  drive 
back.
