Older Than Dirt Quiz

Forgive me if this has been posted already. Mildly entertaining. I got 12.

Count all the ones that you remember - not the ones you were told about!

Ratings at the bottom:

1. Blackjack chewing gum
2. Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water
3. Candy cigarettes
4. Soda pop machines that dispensed bottles
5. Coffee shops with tableside jukeboxes
6. Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers
7. Party lines
8. Newsreels before the movie
9. P.F. Flyers
10. Butch wax
11. Telephone numbers with a word prefix (Olive - 6933)
12. Peashooters
13. Howdy Doody
14. 45 RPM records
15. S&H Green Stamps
16. Hi-fi's
17. Metal ice trays with lever
18. Mimeograph paper
19. Blue flashbulb
20. Packards
21. Roller skate keys
22. Cork popguns
23. Drive-ins
24. Studebakers
25. Wash tub wringers

If you remembered 0-5 = You're still young
If you remembered 6-10 = You are getting older
If you remembered 11-15 = Don't tell your age
If you remembered 16-25 = You're older than dirt!

I remember 12 of them. So, I guess I'll just keep my age around here to myself.

Are you potty trained?

1, 7, 8 and 20 were before my time (or at least where I grew up). I was just trying to explain to someone the other day about phone numbers with names for the exchanges--they didn't understand.

The true test would be how many you used to remember but have since forgotten...

Oh sure...I am just about a grandpa (tomorrow hopefully) and finally got convinced that it was a matter of how I thought about age then BAM I score a 25 on your lil test. GEEZ! Now I am back to feeling older than dirt, old as water, old GEEZER!
