Have you ever used a match book?


Saved S&H Green Stamps?

Matchbooks used to have the striker on the front. I remember seeing guys light a paper match with one hand!

Blue Chip Stamps!!!!

Our phone number was a digit off of the redemption center, we would get calls from people wanting to trade their stamps in all the time!

[Chilli]

I've used a pay phone... and dialed a phone.. and played a pinball machine... and drank soda from a glass bottle. =D
Thats, all, though!

[Edwina's Secretary]

All of the above......but then we have already established my advanced age....

[finn's mom]

All of the above. I've never even held a lit cigarette, but, I've bought them for my older brother. And, I actually used a pay phone daily a couple years ago when I lived on my own in Dallas and didn't have a cell phone. It wasn't a great part of town, so, Finn was always with me. And, I drink IBC Root Beer from a glass bottle a couple times a month! Oh, yeah, and I just remembered that I had an old Curtis Mathis floor model television set for the longest time (it just died a couple years ago) and you had to use the dial to change the channels!
