"A loaf of bread, a container of milk and a stick of butter". From 1972, the classic animated segment about memory, which has done a pretty good job of sticking in the memories of a generation of Sesame Street viewers. Produced by Jim Simon's Wantu Enterprises, the same company that made equally distinctive animation for The Electric Company and Vegetable Soup.

The voices of the mother and girl were provided by Jim Simon's sister and niece.

  • This was obviously from a time when having a good memory actually counted for something - who needs that nowadays with Wikipedia and all of the i-gadgets? I noticed the artwork looks like the style from the TV show Vegetable Soup - maybe the same illustrator/s ?

  • @DariusFranke Yes, Jim Simon did a lot of the animation for Vegetable Soup as well, including the groovadelic opening titles.

  • I think that bit was referenced in the 'Billy & Mandy' episode 'Tween Wolf' where Irwin walks down the street repeating his grocery list so he doesn't forget it.
