Originally I misread that as "monkey back guarantee".

All I can think is the best deterrent at Wal-Mart now. "Sure we'll take the bath mat back....heeeeere's your monkey"......"i'll keep the mat thanks"

Re: Weird things from the 1970s
Like your take better. I was actually thinking a "monkey back" as in a "furry back", which would be a heck of a guarantee. Hair on your back and chest for only 10$, you just don't get that kind of value these days.

Earth shoes by Kaslo of Denmark (?)
Negative heels they were.
Never did look into whether we ruined our feet/ankles or made them stronger.

Oh another thing, putting on your Bay department store credit card gift certificates, then buying a pair of shoe polish and pocketing the no-interest change.

Perhaps you are not being serious (and why should you be?)
Who is going to be put in charge of paying for such enforcement and at what cost? Let me guess - the government? Department of Advertising? Department of Cereal Promotion? Will it also become a criminal offense for a woman to lie about her age or a man to insinuate he will marry his girlfriend? Where does it end?
Just eat Red River Cereal and be done with it.

Changing the term "boogie man" from a nightmarish guy that hides under the bed, into a nightmarish guy with bell bottoms in platform shoes.

Yes, still around, but do they still make them with negative heels? I don't consider Earth shoes with normal heels true earth shoes. First store opened in New York in 1970 or 1971 wasn't it? Sounds like seventies to me!
