'SPACE FIDGET' RETRO 70's TOY -

  The 'Space Fidgit' was also known as a Fidget, Figit and even “Touch me” — they were mostly green when you looked at them straight on, and more reddish/orange at an angle. It had a creamy gel-like material inside, and you could change the colors of the inside gel with pressure and angle changes.

Here’s a description from original product packaging:
This unique plastic disc is filled with fascinating liquid crystals. Just a touch on the back causes liquid to flow into a spectacular show of changing hues and patterns.

These fun toys are made of plastic and filled with thermotropic liquid crystal; the same material found in mood rings. The crystals respond to changes in temperature. The image created would simulate the iridescent colors seen in a puddle of oil:


This 1970's toy was a thin, octagonal hand-held kinetic toy with a clear plastic window over color-changing goo.  It looked a little like a drink coaster, and measured about 3-inches across.

The octagon plastic disc filled was with liquid crystals that you would touch for different patterns.  Just a touch on the back caused the encased liquid to flow into a spectacular show of changing hues and patterns.

This 'Magic Color Disc' was a 3" Acrylic discs with a pressure and heat sensitive combination of materials that would respond to the touch of your finger with psychedelic colors of red, blue, green, and yellow.

Johnson's Baby Oil Ad 'TEEN' Magazine 1972 -

This ad for Johnson's Baby Oil is from a TEEN Magazine I have dated December 1972.  The headliner says, "When you have the face of a girl and the body of a woman you still want the skin of a baby."

The content of the ad goes on to say, "While a young face can sometimes have more than enough oil, the body that goes with it often doesn't have enough.  But Johnson's Baby Oil can help keep a body that's been exposed to sixteen or so summers and winters baby-soft all over."


"Even rough spots like elbows, knees, and heels.  Even legs that have just been shaved.  Even dry hands.  And if you add some of the pure, gentle oil that keeps babies' skin soft to your bubbly bath, it'll leave you feeling silky and slinky from neck to toe.  Johnson's Baby Oil.  If you're woman enough to want the skin of a baby."
