Gramps
drank BLATZ beer (Chicago). For some reason I hated the
name. Still do. Why? I've no idea.

Mother
described how folks then rid themselves of the tapeworm. They
held a glass of warm milk under the nose. When it came out, drew
the
glass ever away until enough worm was exposed to grab it and pull it
out. I
am not making this up.

Cigarettes. I love the pure audacity of it and wish one of
today's
tobacco companies had the nerve to reprise. Just to annoy the
usual
suspects. Am I being hateful?

My grandma, who lived with us, drank Blatz-it was my first beer and to this day, it's probably why I'm not a beer drinker

ReplyDelete"Blatz" just doesn't sound like something one should ingest.
It's more like the sound of a bad wet fart, or the kid next door trying out his first bugle at 2 am, or an 18-wheeler tailgating you and blowing that air horn.

I heard a different tapeworm remedy. Go to quackter 3 days in a row. Each time he attaches a butt expander. Days 1 & 2 He cracks 2 eggs into butt, one at a time and ends with a cookie!
ReplyDeleteDay three he cracks 2 eggs into butt, than nurse hands him hammer and chisel. When tapeworm sticks out of butt and says, "Where`s my cookie?"----TWAP! goes the chisel!

ReplyDeleteGot ALL the good ones there!
"Draft brewed Blatz beer wherever you go..." - I can still remember the jingle. Not to mention Brewster the Goebel rooster. Yeah, I'm older than dirt. Anyhow, Drewrys was the local favorite when I was a tad.
ReplyDeleteThe asthma cigs reminded me of a product that the druggie kids used in high school back in the 60's so I looked it up on wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteAsthmador was a nonpresciption treatment for the relief of bronchial asthma made by the R. Schiffmann Company. It consisted of a mixture of belladonna, stramonium and potassium perchlorate[1], and was a fine powder intended to be burnt and the smoke inhaled. The primary alkaloid present in the mixture was hyoscyamine, and when the powder was ingested rather than burnt, could be used to induce hallucinations.[1] [2]
Peragoric was also popular.

As an asthmatic I know this: Some of the asthma cigarettes had cubeb in them, which is a small "tailed" peppercorn that would dilate the bronchial tubes. Another kind had (no shit) marijuana, which is also a bronchodilator.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Blatz beer over a twenty year period til the diabetes kicked in and I had to give it up.I licked Blatz a lot but I always ordered it as "Blast" Beer.....
ReplyDeleteI've owned a lighted Blatz sign for many years.
"licked"????
ReplyDeleteWell I liked it too.

Blatz is Milwaukees finest beer..
My brother used to smoke a cigarette when he felt a migraine headache coming on. Apparently smoking dilates the blood vessels, relieving the pain-causing pressure??
