2. Wax Coke-shaped bottles with color ed sugar water (You can still get those around here)

3. Candy cigarettes (these too)

4. Soda pop machines that dispensed bottles (for 5 cents)

11. Telephone numbers with a word prefix (Olive-6933) (ok I don't remeber that but I do remember just having to dail 4 numbers)

12. Peashooters (We have one of those somewhere)

14. 45 RPM records (Yep they're in the bottom drawer of Mom and Dad's entertainment center)

17. Metal ice trays with lever (For the first six years of my life I thought that was the only kind of ice tray)

22. Cork popguns (I had a friend's brother who ran around with one in each hand)

23. Drive-ins (Remeber going to a couple)

25. Wash tub wringers (These are still in our laundramat)

I also remember being the remote control after I was mobile as a child.

If you remembered 11-15 = Don't tell your age...

Okay, this is making me feel REALLY old. I just had a birthday a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't think I was "old". Hey a couple of days before my birthday I was asked for ID at an airport bar in Nashville (and it wasn't policy to ask everyone), so I figured I was doing OK. This is not good...

regarding ice cube trays.

A few years ago my nieces were visiting and they wanted a drink of water. First they stared at the refridgerator, looking for the water dispenser. (I do have lots of junk on my refridgerator).

Once they realized that they had to get the water from the sink :eek: they wanted ice. I opened the freezer and handed them the ice cube tray (the plastic kind that you twist), and received the same blank expression.


too funny:D :D

OMG,

More memories!!! I remember the wax coke bottles with the sugar liquid inside, and the candy cigarettes! I used to make believe that I was "moking". Then they came out with bubblegum cigarettes. It was bubblegum wrapped in cigarette paper. If you blew threw the end, white powder would come out, making it look like it was smoke.

I also remember manual typewriters. I worked at a newspaper when I was 18 and that's all they had. We had to use paper with a bazillion sheets of carbon paper!!! That was back in 1972.

I also remember McDonald's selling hamburgers (loooooong before drive-thru) and cheeseburgers for 15 cents and 20 cents.

Thanks RICHARD. Now I really feel older than dirt!!!
