The CBS One Sided Single
In 1983, the generic brand craze had extended into the record business. And CBS Records test marketed a new type of no-frills single in the Seattle area.
They sold for 69¢, in a plain, no-frills stock sleeve. They still played at 45 RPM, but the spindle hole was the same as a standard LP. And there was no B-Side. Just a stamped CBS logo imprint in the vinyl.
They're extremely rare and VERY collectible today.......

Bonne Bell Lip Smackers
Bonne Bell Lips Smackers were a lip gloss that came in SUPER cool flavours. Like Coca Cola, Dr, Pepper, 7-Up, Hires Root Beer, Orange Crush and many others.
But alas, it was a lip gloss for girls. The boys were stuck with ChapStick....unless they wanted their lips really shiny......
UPDATE: They're still available (in "Party Packs" even!)
