That's great how the photographers used it

Those colorful, corrugated bottles are beautiful!

Fascinating! I somehow missed these entirely.

Oh, man, BURPLE! I nearly forgot this stuff! I never saw the baby-sized ones; that ad I don't recall. But, the original and those paper coupons/ads. Yeah. It was such a flash-in-the-pan. It was like the latest ads for Flex Tape and the like, sounding kind of alien and bizarre. And, like you said, cleaning the accordion folds was a pain and a half. I wondered what happened to the line. I guess adult me could see the problem just waiting to appear.

I was in high school in the Southwest and we didn't have these. I definitely would have bought them.

That's a good point! I don't remember Burple myself, but I do remember Squeezit, and only because of the bottle

The wacky design really fuels my 90s nostalgia. I even remember saving those little tabs on the top as little spaceships along with my Micro Machines
