1. Back during WWII (or maybe it started during the depression years and carried on), when things were in short supply due to the war effort, there was a popular saying: "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without”. These days it's trendy to use the words "repurpose" and "recycle" - same thing, don't you think? We like to think of our sellers are the ultimate repurposers and recyclers!

One of our readers found a Trendmaster toy from the 80s or 90s that she needs help with:
I have a Trendmasters toy from the 1980s or 1990s. It is a plastic silver gray glove that fits over a child's hand and part way up the arm. There is a trigger inside the glove that probably operates the futuristic gun that the glove is holding. On top of the arm section are controls for robot voice, normal voice, sound selector, volume and speed. I assume that part runs on batteries but I can't find a way to get inside the device. Do you know what this glove is or for what line of toys? I can't find it anywhere on the internet. I’ve included a couple of pictures.

Jerilynn sent in this request, posted in our last newsletter:
My grandmother used to make a cake with fruit cocktail (canned I think). It was super moist, and I think we topped it with Cool Whip. I don't know if she used a box mix or a scratch recipe. This was back in the latter part of the 60s. Does anyone have this recipe?

We have so many responses! Here are a few - with our thanks to everything who contributed!

From Susan:
Hi! We always called it dump cake. This is on par with what I remember; found it at http://www.cooks.com/recipe/z738b8eq/fruit-cocktail-dump-cake.html

1 (16 oz.) can fruit cocktail
1 (7.5 oz.) can pineapple (tidbits or crushed)
1 c. coconut
1 c. chopped nuts
1 (18.5 oz.) pkg. yellow cake mix
1 1/2 sticks butter
water
lightly sweetened whipped cream
Drain fruit cocktail and pineapple. Save juices in measuring cup. Evenly spread fruits, coconut and nuts on bottom of 9 x 13 cake pan. Cover with dry cake mix. Melt butter and evenly distribute over cake mix. Add water to fruit juices to make 3/4 cup. Sprinkle juice over cake mix.

Bake 40 minutes at 350degrees F. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

From Lyle Mc:
This is known as a Dump Cake. This is a easy ,fun and good cake. You can make a cake recipe from scratch or use a cake mix of any flavor. Make sure you drain your fruit. Add fruit to your cake mix once it is in your pan. Bake according to directions. The fruit might add a little baking time to your cake. You can then top it with cool whip or with ice cream of choice. For the 4th of July a combination of blue berries and strawberries are too much fun. Tastes Great....
Happy 4th July Lyle
