vintage postcards
Let's twist again! Milton Bradley was accused of selling sex in a box after they released the phenomenally successful action game Twister in 1966.
Johnny Carson demonstrated the game on the "Tonight Show" along with the low cut gown wearing Eva Gabor who was a guest that night. vintage postcards
With Eva splayed out on all fours on the polka dot vinyl mat, Johnny twirled the spinner and took his turn. When he climbed on top of Eva, the studio audience went into hysterics, screaming and laughing. More than three million copies of Twisters were sold during its first year of release after that show!

You know the weirdest stuff :) Twister was a great way for teenagers to... 'get to know each other better' I seem to remember...
I'm neorelix, teenage parties.
My 3 kids and our cat were playing on our fleece Twister blanket not long ago. They weren't using the spinner, though, so I think they were really playing See Who Can Sit On Someone Else's Head First.
So its very cold in Franc, too...
We have to turn on the heating tomorrow, I think!
My hubby feels cold long before I do, so it's just the other way round with us! :)
Yesterday he made tea!
Sorry, I wrote with my hubby's identity :(
Gee, sex in a box... Twister seems so innocent nowadays.
I am sad to report that I've never played the game.
Aussi curieux que cela puisse paraître, j'arrive de chez Maria qui a cité ton blog à l'occasion d'une remise d'award.
C'est tout à fait mérité! Ton blog est épatant, rafraichissant, un petit peu nostalgique.
J'adore le fil conducteur des cartes postales. Bravo, pour toutes ces idées.
Marie, we always thought that it was so naughty to play twister. All those body parts in motion, who knew what would happen.
Things here have slowed to a manageable pace, thanks for asking. It's good to have friends!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane! We thought it was so cool to have our very own twister game. I'm guessing it was in about 1970.
Knew the game but only know it's name after you post it!
Ah Twister...I remember it well! Survival of the fittest as I recall.
