A long time ago, in a place far, far away, the consumer gods doth invent this thing called an “inflatable pool”. There is no anachronism here, because the consumer gods still make and sell this kind of pool. I think Rover’s claws did the dirty work! Dive, dive! Aooga! lol
The little ones were prizes in Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. (You could send in box tops for bigger ones) They were supposed to run on baking soda, but never did much for me either.
Follow the adventures of 10-year-old Red, a boy who dreams of going to space and loves baseball, and his dog Rover, a loyal friend and chaser of squirrels.
Whether flying through space, bouncing on the moon, fishing, waiting for Popsicle Pete, or delivering the paper, these two friends do everything together.

Minor quibble but just WHEN were those types of Pools developed?
Do we have an anachronism here?

There were kids’ blow-up pools then, just not the better elephant variety.

Back in the day..They used to sell Submarines in the
back of comic books for your bathtub…
Put some kind of pill in it and it fizzed and sank and then
came back up…I never got one to come back up…
Maybe I was using Alka Selzter..

Wasn’t it baking powder? I found one (submarine) at a specialty store maybe 15 yrs ago for my grandson. He loved it.

I just remember the sub for your bathtub because
“Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea” was popular on TV
back then..Probably was Arm & Hammer Baking Soda to use
on the sub..Mom wouldn’t have wanted me to use baking
soda because it was a prominent fixture on the bottom shelf
of our fridge..

You’ve got the secret! Boldyuma and I used baking soda, which doesn’t work!
