UMMMM GOOOOOOD

I think I have one or two left in a box in the freezer. The ones from the grocery store aren't as good as the originals I used to buy last in the late '60s or early '70s at a White Castle still operating in Cocoa Beach, but they're still pretty darned tasty. A couple of them are just a good snack.

And the winner is (Drum Roll Please)…

I don’t think anyone will be surprised at my decision. Michael Payton sold me with the suggestion that I stick with the “brand nameâ€

That is how the Compact Jr. pop-top works. I can take pix of the mechanism, if you like.

Mine is a longer story as it involves names of two trailers. At the moment I am building the Squidget Pop-Top (or PT as I refer to it most of the time). The name of my original Squidget trailer came from England when our resident engineer Andrew said it looked like a squared off Midget trailer and should be called the Squidget. The name was retained by popular demand when I said I might name it something else
:applause:
I held a contest to name the new trailer. The first design had a top that swing up into place and Michael Payton was declared the winner with Glide-Top. But, I changed the design so that the top lifted up instead and new entries were submitted. Sharon’s suggestion of Pop-Top won out. Both winners, however, will receive a free set of plans for the PT when it is finished and the plans are ready to sell.

:thumbsup:

How about a big faux pull top, like a pop can, mounted on the top?

Thanks, Dale! I think your design is the winner.

HaHaHa! Or, get a jack-in-the-box doll to sit somewhere? HaHaHa! There can be lots of plays on words and that's always fun.
