Oh shit... I'm blowing away in the wind... It was easier math to count those I did not experience first-hand! And that was 5!!

And a couple of those are debatable... Wait! I do remember someone who drove a Studebaker!!! So make that only 4...






Heh! Cork Pop Guns... I used to cut the string... :wink:

 

[halfbaked]

Bob you are fuggin old. I only remembered 11
Wait I'm fuggin old too :jawdrop:

 

[rockymtnbuds]

Damn, that one scares me. When I was a kid, I remember both a Packard and a Studebaker in our neighborhood. 10 oz cokes in the machine were a dime and so was a pay phone. When I got my 1st car, gas was .27 a gal. and cigarettes were a quarter.

That's nothin. My little sister baby-sat him. She said he was a real pain... you know, "Jesus, the dog does NOT want wine in his bowl!" Or, "Jeesuuuus, quit screwing around and get INTO the bath water..." Stuff like that.

 

[ledhed]

Hey wait... I think I just had a great idea for a television show!

Jesus The Menace

You thought Dennis was bad? What if he was God?

"Oh Mister Pilate!

(hee hee hee...)

 

[BuzzBob]

Vitalis!!! Greasy Kids' Stuff! Yeah!!!

 

[Dr.Smitty]

Wow I wade in with 20 of them but hey I already know I'm old and I always grow in dirt.

 

[ancient1]

Sorry but I've got all of you beat. I remember and used each and every one of them. Now that is a dubious honor.

 

[amsterdame]

21 here, and I still remember my telephone prefix. Speaking of phone prefixes, does anyone remember having to dial 122 to make a long distance call?

A*dame

PEACE, Wilie

In a few more years I'll be a can of oil

In a few more years I'll be a can of oil

Well I must fart dust because I got 25 for 25. It figures tho I get 100% on a test and it is to determine how freakin old I am. How about a pack of cigs for 49 cents or a gallon of gas for 39.9. Or the really good ole days when sex was dirty and the air was clean and Jerry and everybody else all sang about love,and you could understand the words, oops gotta go change my Depends now and take my Musinex. Thanks for the memories MasterVaper you little ****er

opps , all of them ,
and my dad telling our neighbor to get rid of that ugly NEW car of his , A Studedbaker, reminded me of a bullit car thats ugly
but has cool front end grill,
I remember too red flyers

wicked rides down hill,
like a bobsled on asphalt
& steel wheels red skateboards from sears,
runover a pea, and flying over the sidewalk, landing & taking your palms
and knee skin OUT ! OUCH !!!
I even have a oil stash can style that you use a can opener to open match the other cans then.
totally hopeless here

The Studabaker was the only one. I grew up where Packard started.

Does anyone one who remembers the "Black Jack" gum remember the color wrapper?

An does anybody remember the "Black Jack" candy?

Wb

 

[Guest]

[Willie]

OhGawd...Weedyzbox, I think BlackJack gum had a blue wrapper? Remember TBerry gum with the pink wrapper? (TBerry shuffle??!!) I don't remember BlackJack candy but, do remember Boston Beans, button paper (remember the globs of crunchy stuff you just kinda chewed off the paper and ate as much paper as candy)? Chocolate cigarettes, Bubblegum cigars, Real metal bottle caps that you chewed the candy out of!!!
I bought Moms cigarettes (with a note of course) for 28cents a pack...Used
to get a free drinking glass with a $2.00 gasoline purchase...that was 7 gals.!
Remember Choo-Choo Charlie commercials for GoodnPlenty?
Memories.........................
Keep on Truckin' :smile:
