50 Obsolete Things To Prove How Much The World Has Moved On And Changed (New Pics)

I did this in the 2000s too!

But they're cute.

kah-chunk

I still have mine, in working condition. Mind you, I grew up in post communist Romania, so having this was the utter most lavish thing my parents could afford. But it made my teenage years so much better

Oh yes, ashtrays everywhere

I still love these guys lol - the excitement you feel as you yeet it off the top of the staircase - ah, the good days…

Kids still do this in preschool

Then there were 10 boxes of just the strawberry part left in the freezer

And when there was very little left, the box would be falling apart and you'd try to reattach the sides, then the top would pop off, it was a really bad system, lol.

Not obsolete you can still by it. Smh

We had this for dessert this evening. 😋 Still good.

Chapman's still makes ice cream in cartons.

I can't explain why or how but ice cream was better back then. In a box.

This triggered a memory from my childhood of one of the cards (upper left, 3rd from the top) in the original Candy Land board game. I never knew what it was supposed to represent because we didn’t have the Spumoni ice cream at that time. 7181BCDA-3...c-jpeg.jpg

It should do again , cut down on plastic

They should go back to boxes and forget the plastic—plastic is flooding the earth.

Still does from Chapman's in Canada.

Best ice cream in the world!!

Yes, I rember them. If I had Neapolitan ice cream the strawberry wouldn't had lasted long. I like strawberry ice cream. More than likely the chocolate would have lasted longer.

Yup

It's still available in a box.

And it was the best. I used to mix the box vanilla ice cream with cocoa powder 😋

I think was called Neapolitan. I never did like it, but my mom bought it.

And it was usually not ice cream, but ice milk.

It still comes in a box?

Yes! My mother for some reason would scoop the ice cream rather than just cut a slab that would have an equal amount of each flavor. I always ended up with very little chocolate. In our family children were not allowed to ask why a parent did something and you for sure did not complain about unfair division of ice cream flavors! Now, when I can choose how to serve ice cream I do not have this option.

my kids...now in their 30s still talk about how I would use a knife to slice off "slices" of ice cream instead of using a spoon!

now everything needs to be packaged in unnecessary plastic

The "chocolate" ice cream always tasted powdery. I ate the strawberry 🍓 first, then vanilla; my brother probably ate the "chocolate." RAINBOW 🌈 sherbet (raspberry, lime, orange) was my favorite cold treat.

This tasted nasty as hell

I think some ice cream comoanies still use them to package their wares.

And an actual half gallon!

Mmm.... I'm pretty confident it still does..

It still is in a box but a round one with only enough for two.

I think what they should've put instead of the box, was those precut square slices of Neapolitan ice cream. For some reason those things always tasted better and they don't sell them anywhere anymore.

Ice cream still comes in boxes.

And a half gallon of Ice cream was an actual half gallon--not 1.5 quarts!

And it was a half gallon.

They should use boxes again, not plastic.

Used to get the vanilla and orange sherbet in the checkerboard pattern.

We sliced it like an ice cream loaf.

It still does...
