Wow! This is a throwback! I learned it as Miss Susie living in Massachusetts when I was about 6.
I'm confused about what you mean about age appropriate OP.
I don't think this is the kind of thing parents teach kids. It's the kind of thing they learn from other kids and adults just pretend to scold them and be shocked.

The 18 hour bra ads were everywhere in the early 70s. Now that I think of it, why were these poor women wearing a bra for 18 hours in a row? Didn’t they get to put on some pJs and go to sleep?
