Remember when..............................

I saved two of mine in the cedar chest.

 

I remember pulling out of a gas station in my '54 Olds and refusing to pay $.34 for premium. An outrage I tell you.

 

I remember pumping Good Gulf (which was regular leaded gas) at 36.9 cents a gallon and thinking $1.00 won't get me 3 gallons to cruise,come Sat nite!

I remember walking away from a gas station Coke machine because I refused to pay 15 cents for a Coke. ROBBERY!!! I walked down the road to the next station and found a machine that was still 10 cents.

 

Hypercolor tee-shirts. The only way I could get a girl to touch me.

 

was it tied around your waist?

 

Kenner's Give-a-Show Projector!!!

 

How about movie reels in school and the tape breaking all the time?

 

the girls in my high school would put handprints on their chest like they just got a good feelin', and waltz around hahaha silly

 

Being taught to push down REAL HARD on the pen/pencil so the Goldenrod copy would be legible. As far as I know, this was the only use of the word "Goldenrod" in the history of the English language!

Remember this one time....at band camp........

 

Remember when a lid was 15 bucks.

 

10......Youngster!

 

No. No I don't. What's a lid? I Have no idea what you're talking about. Lid? Oh, did I say that? Lid? No officer, this is bubble gum.

 

Those often came out of a machine with a hand lever.

 

My wife took our son to the library today, which brought back a memory. In the 70s we had one of those first generation VCRs, the enormous top loader with dials on the front. And the only place you could get videos was from the library. You would look through their movie list and submit your requests. Since the cassettes were shared by several libraries, they would randomly come in. It was always so exciting when they called and you could go pick up a movie!

 

i remember when this thread started.

 

Coke was the "Real thing....."

 

+1

Remember those coke machine where you pushed a button, it dropped in ice (crushed), then the carbonated water, then the syrup? That was the best soda ever! I still remember visiting my dads office (3 or 4 years old) and he always took me down to that machine because he know how much I liked it.

Remember microphish?

Remember laser-disks? Those gargantuan things that were suppose to be the next big thing? We always watched them at school.

Remember the sound of a dot-matrix printer?
