Makes me feel really old!! Well, I am! I can remember my Gramma using this when I was knee high to a grasshopper! Stumbled on this in the General Store in Harrisville, New Hampshire!

I remember the plastic model of the 20-mule team and borax wagan that they marketed for a while. It was a kit which you'd assemble into a pretty-good looking model, rigging and all. Late '50s maybe? KJN

I use it all the time. Mix with honey to kill ants, works better than store bought ant killer.

I remember my mother giving my oldest brother the 20 Mule Team kit. Took him forever to assemble it. I could never figure out its significance. Why did it take 20 mules to pull a cart? How was this relevant in the '50s? What did it have to do with washing clothes?

Multiple very large wagons required a lot of mule power.

I'm gonna bet you can also remember Beeman's gum, 10 cent comic books, cap guns and homemade ice cream.
