ACME Products

I remember when TV was a new thing to us - everything beyond the electric bulb was new to us on arrival in England in 1967 - and we were hooked on all the Looney Toons cartoons, we used to ask Dad "What does ACME mean?". He used to give us the dictionary definition, "the highest point - in this case it just means the best". Over time, ACME came to mean the cool gadgets and products a hapless coyote used to try and capture a certain Road Runner (and other members of the Looney team for other uses). Well now there is an illustrated catalogue of all the anvils, bed springs, bird seeds, toasters etc., from the ACME product range. Those were the days weren't they?
