hey shy...you're not supposed to remember too many of these unless you heard some old farts talking about them...

This is making me feel pretty fucking old. I lived during about 20.

 

[Neftoon_Zamora]

Ouch.. I remember 26 of them...

I remember my mom stopping at the gas station here in town and asking for a dollars worth...

How about Johnny West? His wife Jane?

Dick and Jane? Puff and Spot?

Oh my god... I'm frightening myself...

 

[heterotic]

Surprisingly, in my tender two and twenty years on this earth, I've seen candy cigarettes once, 45 (and even 72) RPM records, spud guns, tinker toys, erector sets, and one drive-in that survived the ice age. I remember telephone prefixes only from Pennsylvania 65000, and I think I saw glass bottles in a soda machine in Africa.

Help Cecil, help...

[ksmybuttons]

Ah, I remember those and:
Gas for 29 cent and a pack of cigarettes cost the same as the gas.
When there was a cent sign on the typewriter keyboard.
Black and White TV and no cable.
An ounce of pot cost $10 and a really good one $15.
Pick up and delivery of your dry cleaning.
No available birth control for women.
No panty hose. You had to wear a garter belt.
Dress codes at school.
Bell bottom pants with short tops - the first time.

Good old days?

I have had or seen every last one. My gasoline rememberences actually started at 16 cents per gallon, but it was a price war. Normal price was 21 cents per gallon.

Hmmmmmm, on second thought. Nope, narry a one.

I remember most of these things....I'm 28, and I think alot fo them enjoyed a retro reimergence in my younger years, though.

Like skate keys.....skates didn't need keys when I was young but some of them had them anyway.

Who remebers 'Stretch Armstrong'? I loved that toy......until I opunctured him with an umbrella tip.

For that matter who remembers when umbrellas had sharp metal tips and were long enough, and designed, to be used as a walking stick?
