In the early to mid-1960s I used to collect these little clear colored plastic mermaid figures. I don't remember if they came in a Cracker Jacks box or if I got them out of a gumball machine. They were solid colored and very detailed for such a little cheap toy. Does anyone remember these?:)

I believe that they were novelty picks for drinks that were produced in the 1960s. If memory serves me correctly, they were called "zoopicks". There were also giraffe style picks produced. I had a few when I was a kid, many years ago.
