My mum used Vosene on me because I had dandruff. I'm not sure that it worked but it did smell reassuringly medicated! Do you remember the 'beer' shampoo in a little plastic barrel-shaped container. When I was a student a lot of us used it. If we got our hands on actual beer we sometimes used it as a rinse - and drank what was left.

I loved (still love) the smell of Vosene.

I remember the little toys hidden in the cereal packets. Had to get your hand right down to the bottom of the Rice Krispies for the plastic submarine etc.

Also pink Euthymol toothpaste which came in a little round tin.

Yes I remember all of those. Vosene was the only shampoo in our house until I became a teenager and bought my own.

Do you remember when there were only 4 different types of shampoo? Dry , Normal, Greasy and Medicated? I had oily hair and the only only type of shampoo was Lemon and Lime, I used to hate it, then along came a product call Agree ( anyone rember that?) it didn't stink of limes or lemons, and I loved it - unfortunately I don't think it was on the market that long. Mother always used to buy Vosene for the family - hated the smell of that too lol

Do you remember the plastic flowers - daffodils that came free with boxes of washing powder? mother had a good collection of those.

Remember the paper dollies and clothes on the back page of your comic?

Remember stacking your single records in a certain order so they didn't wobble?
