I remember clear pepsi.

[walford]

I remember when.
Michael Jackson was black.

Cigs were 35c/pack

Soda was a dime

Candy bars didn't taste like wax

Gasoline was 27c/gallon

Cadillac was a luxury car, BMW was a little foreign piece of ****.

Children were quiet in restaurants.

Made in USA meant quality, Made in Japan meant cheap imitation

Teens graduated high school able to read

Most of the girls had a neck and a waist -- obese people were much rarer

Most American flags were made in the USA

Cars had bumpers that were made of metal and were covered with chrome

The only SUVs were the GMC Suburban and IH Travelall -- and the only people who owned them did so because they were necessary, not fashionable. People who actually needed large station wagons owned those instead.

The auto manufacturers actually made large station wagons.

The waitresses on airliners were pretty and they were called stewardesses

People dressed up just to go on a flight

You could walk into a federal building by just showing your ID and signing a book

When you went into a gas station, an attendant would wash your windows, check your oil, fill your tank w/o being asked -- and for the same price as anyone else

All of the kids went out trick-or-treating on Halloween, everybody in the neighborhood had something for the children and it was perfectly safe.

Everybody in the neighborhood put up X-mas decorations, even my cranky old Dad.

US Route 1 was lit up with real neon, from Maine to the Fla Keys. Even the gas stations flickered in the night: Esso, Gulf, Phillips 66, Atlantic.

All soda pop bottles required an opener and were made of thick glass. Cans had pop-tops or needed an opener to make the two triangle-shaped holes to pour/drink from.

Most of the restaurants were not chain-franchises.

Most of the cars had whitewall tires

You got your hair cut at a Barber Shop with a Barber Pole. At the end, you were trimmed with hot shaving cream and a straight razor.

Unlocked guns in the house wasn't a big deal.

Watching former US prisoners of war returning from Vietnam and meeting their families at the airport.

Riots in Baltimore when MLK was assassinated. I remember Jeeps with M2's mounted patrolling down my street. Needless to say, as a child I was pretty impressed.

When HBO was only on after 5:00 during the week.

omfg, i think you are right...wow...nostalgia

theres a lot of stuff that you can see on bommerang that i used to watch when i had no idea what i was watching....

how much cartoons have changed....

[gaijinsamurai]

When Christy Canyon and Ginger Lynn made movies.

[walford]

Smurfs, Transformers & other marketing cartoons didn't exist. Instead they showed old Warner Bros cartoons on TV and the especially violent ones were not left out.

No sitcoms on the air ever dealt with anyone's ****** problems.

The only jewelry women wore above their necks was in their earlobes.

The only time men wore jewelry above their necks was when they were in a pirate costume -- and it was only ONE in the LEFT ear.

If people had any weird ****** fetishes, you couldn't tell by how they acted and/or dressed in public.

You wouldn't be caught dead in a Toyota, Honda or Subaru -- and they were called DATSUNs. And you wouldn't be caught dead in one of those either.

Anytime you tuned the radio to a popular station, the songs had MELODIES, the singers actually SANG and you could UNDERSTAND THE FREAKIN' WORDS.

The 26oo rocked!

Little known factoid.......early popular game cartridge "Breakout" was designed by Steve Wozniak of future Apple fame. Steve Jobs, also of Apple fame, sold the game to Atari for $5000. Jobs went back to Wozniak saying he sold the game for $700 and gave Wozniak his $350 "half", keeping $4650 for himself. What a selfish d!ck. I love telling that story to disciples of Jobs.
