TRIVIA QUESTION

My wife has a birthday party coming up this Saturday, and I am creating trivia questions. I remembered something that I read in an old Life Magazine from the early 1960's in the local public library archives, and was wondering if anyone out there can guess the answer.

Question: What was the Number 1 Christmas present that was given to adult friends and co-workers in the early 1960's?

Answer: (Check back tomorrow about this time.)

If no one guesses it, I will be providing hints throughout the day.

First Hint: Most people had this product in their home even if they personally did not use it.

So much for trying to guess the answer from the way the question was worded. It used to work for me in college! Well, not college, but grade school!
