“Do You Remember When”: 50 Times This Facebook Group Brought Us Back To The Good Old Days

We had to do this to our exercise books at school. People used wallpaper. Top marks to the lad who used woodchip.

I can’t even guess how many hours I played with this. I absolutely loved mine.

I remember my younger sisters having these. The dolls were heavy cardboard, and the clothes were basically paper, and most of the time they had to be cut out with a scissors. They didn't last long because if the clothes got wet, they would slowly disintegrate.

I'm baffled. In Germany, we had these too, but not with actual real tobacco-brands.

Heck yeah. Awesome, and still have a ton of vintage equipment.

Many years later, I learned that the collar and the bowtie were part of the cartoonists' tricks to make animating the heads faster and easier.

Wow! I miss him!

I can hear this picture 🐮

And recording songs off the radio with my cassette player and getting ticked off when he started talking at the end of the songs. Lol

Grandma had a silver one. Wish I had it. It was freakin indestructible.

It does give the wood flavour.

How mine still looks, so ner!

Crikey, what a good guy.

Indeed! Pure bliss!

Still have my nans

Still is. At least in Germany

Do you remember when you could still BUY stuff with just the coins you had in your coin holder?

I used to love orange crème pops. I just a yogurt that was flavored orange creme and it brought me back.

And usually the telephone sat on top of the phone book….

These still exist...

I had the sort with the rubber band propeller

My mom still does this. I'm 36.

Still use it for all those!!

Mighty Mouse is on the way!

We had this exact linoleum kitchen floor until WELL into the 90s XD

Still use them ;-)

Still have mine

Also the strawberry flavor with veins of strawberry

Love big brother snuggling with younger sibling 😊

Remember? LPs are a thing again

Andy Williams! nelson-and...d5e513.jpg

Never got rid of mine. I have near 9K LPs from my old original Archies and Partridge Family to Motorhead and Megadeth! Dean Martin & Frank to Celtic Frost and Pantera! LOL! I LOVE going to old used record stores!

I real miss no longer being able to gift specific albums, songs or books.

Never mind the records. Look at the hairdo on the one on the left. The full dustmop.

God yeah. Those hairstyles were terrible. Oh the record shop? That never really went away.

...And everybody's creepy looking uncle, Bill Hailey *shudder*

I remember when they came out , slowly replacing 78's

hell, go into walmart. vinyl's back, baby..

I remember CD stores like this, but not record stores.

LPs for $4.99!

It's the only physical media I buy.

I remember when everyone got rid of their LPs, when cds came out, oh the bargains to be had in second hand shops. That was until they became collectible

LP‘s? Here you go...An Opel Astra with 600 Schellack 78‘s... Hmmm! Can’t post pictures.

There are plenty of record stores still out there.

Yep, in the US, they are around $30 USD now for a new press.

Yup! Bargain bin

They were 'banned' (really they just stop showing the cartoons) because they were characters created from racist tropes. Many of the characters from Looney Toons and Hanna Barbara were extremely racist and stereotypes. They weren't part of 'our culture' or 'our history' - they were blatant examples of systemic racism in the USA. And to those who said, 'They were just cartoons!' - yes, just cartoons, so why do you miss them or need them?

Yep - learned to read with D**k, Jane, and Sally

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today

I still have one, kept it when I cleared my mothers home.
