Anybody remember their mom using this stuff?

I haven't seen any Dippity Do in at least 30 years, but I remember the texture well, because mom would always go to the ubiquitous bathroom jar of it to tame one of my cowlicks.

  4. That was back when you would be sent home from school if you combed your hair into a DA! Wow, has much changed or what?

  5. Yeah, my Mom used that stuff on my cow licks too. It was pink, if I recall.

  6. I dippity-do!
    Mom would goop me up and roll my unruly curls on beer can rollers and I'd sit under a Sunbeam hairdryer for an hour watching The Carol Burnett Show. I'd end up with glossy helmet head for a week or until it got wet again.

  8. You could smear it in a crack in a window and it would last a couple more years.

  9. And before that, there was Jo-cur in a tall bottle. Who remembers that one?
