I remember them so well, Marie!
Soup fillers they were in our house! Mom being able to stretch a meal was a major plus in our house.

Thanks for this, Marie!
I am familiar with Chubby Checker, but this song is a new one on me.

I always liked the song, thought it was funny. Glad you liked it.
We had some silly songs back in the 60's. I liked them.
-Buy a bottle of Ernest & Julio Gallo Chianti
-Dump it down the toilet (while apologizing to the sewer rats)
-Make a candle holder
It was still cheaper than buying one.

When my last graduated past the diaper stage, I turned a couple pairs of old rubber pants into plastic shower caps by stitching the elastic leg holes closed!

Jake repurposed a straight tree limb into a great walking stick for me.
It customized for my height, hand grip and its strong.

Well. This is one way to do it.

I have taken old hay twine and made spare reins to carry on trail rides. Especially big rides with inexperienced folks who might break one of their reins and didn’t think to carry a spare set.
I braided three hay twines, put swivel snaps on the ends, rolled them up and put them in my saddlebag for emergencies. If someone else broke a rein, they had something safe to use and I wasn’t out anything except a dollar or two for the snaps.
In a real pinch, I have also strung hay twine where the fence was down until I could get to it with wire. I once read a single piece of twine has a 300# test pull — if that’s true, for sure it would hold the fence together until I had time to get back to it…..
