At the table

You read, “Which food was the only item still rationed in the U.S. in 1946?” The younger guests guess: coffee, butter or sugar. The guest of honor may not need to. Then the card has a question of its own for the whole table.

The 1946 radio quiz ‘Twenty Questions’ began: animal, vegetable or…?

Why it works

Something goes home with the guest of honor. The Then & Now keepsake sets 8 everyday items side by side: what a stamp, a loaf of bread or a gallon of gas cost in 1946, and what it costs today. Every fact was checked against at least two published sources. US edition.

Made for: Sons, daughters and grandchildren planning an 80th birthday.
