I remember when my step-grandfather, Kenny, worked at Ginsbergs Furniture store in Des Moines, Iowa. At that time (mid 50s-early 60s) they had life-size plastic food displayed in their refrigerators. He came over once with a load of "food" for us: a big ham, eggs, margarine, fruits, vegetables, etc. We played store for years. I'm sure we were envied by the neighborhood girls.
