I must be a whippersnapper. I can’t remember what I did yesterday.

Given some of the stuff we did “back in the day” it’s a miracle I lived to make it to 6th grade.

I still get BlackJack when we go to Cracker Barrel. I remember all of them, but we used Brylcreem instead of Butch Wax.

Here’s my dad when he enlisted in WW2.

My Dad always spoke highly of the time he spent in Australia on his way to the Philippines!

but we used Brylcreem instead of Butch Wax.

For you youngsters, those products were for two different uses. Brylcream (A little dab’l do ya!) was a cream for controlling hair long enough to comb. Other hair creams and oils (like Kreml) competed with Brylcreem in that market.
Butch Wax, on the other hand was a heavy waxy gel (sort of like Vaseline petroleum jelly) used to keep your flattop standing straight up.
And yes, depending on my hair length of crewcut (no dressing), flattop (Butch Wax), or combed with part (Brylcreem or Kreml), I had used all three of those products. Kreml, however made my scalp itch.
