The Mindset List of the Obscure: 74 Famously Forgotten American Icons From A To Z

ARC for review.
Takeaway? I'm old. These bits of pop culture come from the 1930s to the mid-1960s, so before my birth, but not so far in the distant past - out of the 75 there were only 11 with which I was totally unfamiliar (of course I've always read voraciously, especially trivia books). That said, I'm guessing most would be "forgotten" by today's 20 year olds and the edition 20 years from now would include "Laverne and Shirley" and Pop Rocks.
I enjoyed (but could have done without the silly "inspired guess by today's young and restless" and the use in a sentence) and if any entries strike one's fancy there's a fairly extensive bibliography - perfect for reading in bits and pieces.
