30 “I’m This Old” Tweets That Generation Z Won’t Know

Just WHY can’t you get those any more? I even had much more exciting ones with fish and baskets and all sorts of amazing scenery inside.

These things are still being used in schools in South Africa...

I still have a couple of those...

still used this way in our country

Apparently, whatever your first choice was, it was never a mine. Never realised that. Just thought I was always lucky.

I could never fold my notes like some of my friends did

The front piece is removable to discourage thieves from breaking into the car to steal it. Classic!

Hell yeah still have mine!

Some ppl have mad skills on these things! It blows my mind. I could barely make anything recognizable! haha

Yes, and do you remember when you had to play Final Fantasy 8 on 5 separate CDs? (The 5th was the installation disc, PC version)

People used to make these out of tin cans.

This was also useful for old and almost broken cassette players to play mp3 files on.

Almost forgot about this.

Laser pointer with different tips to create different looks. High tech. 😉

I had one with a loaded spring in it so when you reached to get one and pull it out, metal snapped down onto the victims finger or thumb. It was actually quite painful.

That is a newer version. I got mine in the late 60's - it had black paper inserts with the patterns :)

Be kind, please rewind. Or we will charge you an extra dollar

They still have this at many summer camps and school playgrounds.

We had those too when I was a kid, but with pictures of the looney tunes on them! Flippo's!

ok, you are old!

No old at all

They are still readily available :)

OMG I absolutely loved my skydancer.

had one! :D but i don't remember what it all could do though...

those were so hard to open for me!

I had to use these when I was in 1st-3rd grade and i´m 13. They may be old but their still in use today so...

Whoah. That school was clearly better funded than mine!

I just bought a bunch of these ice pops

The old Nokia phones were great, saw one in an antique shop recently.

I loved using cap guns.

You can buy the cap pistol rounds, but they are hard to find. Which is odd, because they still make the cap pistols that use them.

India again. Questionable because pictured cell phone and tv are at least 30 years apart. When cell phones arrived in India, common TVs started to be more modern. Rest could be from either 80s or 90s some items being everlasting.

marbles i mean

i love freezees and marbles! dont under stand the rest though...

Are those rolls of "cap-gun" caps in the lower left?

Great memories of when we had all those items.

I feel this picture in my ankle

Oh, I have one of these in my office. ♡

Ahh, the suitcase. I remember as a kid we used to go on a family holiday for two weeks, normally to France or Spain or Turkey, and we actually packed our clothes in these, hahaha. My, how times have changed...

I smell this picture

I loved playing with these, but they felt so weird.

Dunkaroos!

Didn’t these magnets make a funny sound when you played them a certain way?

Ah yes, I remember chewing on the wax

OMG i totally forgot this thing! i had one before i got my first mp3-Player! a little radio! so i could hear music on my boring way to school

Oh gosh! I remember getting these at carnivals, and spraying them from the top of the Ferris Wheel! People freaked!! (I was a brat back then...)

You felt so important on the safety patrol!

I have two of those on my shelf about ten feet away from where I’m currently sitting

I had a snoopy one in early '80's. That's another good '80's plastic smell.

I remember stockpiling them in the garage, then my mom would be load up the car and lets see how much money we can get!

Wow, Wendy's (a chain still in existence that continues it's gradual global expansion) and this, from that bygone, sepia-toned historical era of 2009!
