Percolator

From Judy A - I'm invited to a birthday for a person born in the '50s.  I offered to bring something now; I have to figure out something clever.  There are already finger sandwiches on white bread, knox blox, ambrosia, relish plate, red velvet cake.  WHAT ELSE would be clever and authentic and good to eat? See ya later alligator!

Mr. Pop History – It’s how you do it.  How about getting on roller skates and serving hamburgers and shakes.  Or, a simulation TV dinner, perhaps exaggerated. Don’t forget that coffee percolator!

Come back soon, as I answer, to the best of my knowledge, another one of your pop history/culture questions.
