    Yeah, a bunch of people keep talking about the chocolate ones. Never even heard of those before. We too had the white, chalky, mint-esque sticks with a little dab of red dye at the end, OR bubblegum sticks wrapped in white paper that you could blow “smoke” (some white dust) out of.

    The feeling of “getting old” is a strange one. One day you feel like you’re in the prime of your life, invincible and immune to the aches and pains that your parents always complained about. Then suddenly, seemingly overnight, you realize that there are children decades younger than you who are famous from posting dance videos on TikTok, and you’re not even quite sure how that app works. But feeling like you’re aging doesn’t have to be a bad thing. In fact, we might as well embrace it! Pages like Do You Remember? allow a space for those of us who might be getting up there to bond with one another over those classic things younger generations just don’t understand.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    If you’ve ever tried to explain your favorite childhood candy to your children or wondered why kids don’t play with Lincoln Logs nowadays, you’re in luck. We’ve got some photos for you that are sure to trigger some memories about “the good old days”. Simple pleasures from your youth like eating Hostess snack cakes or annoyances like trying to use pay phones in public to call your parents just aren’t the same today. So enjoy taking this time to reminisce and bask in the beauty that is nostalgia!

    I worked in a department store women's shoes section when i was in university. We had a type of X-ray machine that showed the bones in the foot, when wearing a shoe (to check the fit). Knowing what we know now aboyt X-ray exposure.....Yikes!! When we had a sale, a huge container of shoes ( pairs fastened together with a primitive zip tie) was set out. We sales clerks watched , as women rummaged through the bin and sometimes elbowed each other for a chosen pair of shoes. We were always baffled at the end of the day, when one shoe of a pair was orphaned among the leftovers. Someone out there has three feet???

    To learn more about how wonderful it can be to look back on our pasts, we reached out to nostalgia expert Dave Fife. Dave is the creator of Retro Injection, a blog that “digs deep into the pop culture goldmine of the ‘80s and ‘90s,” and lucky for us, he was kind enough to have a chat about what he misses and what makes him suddenly feel old. “I recently came across a photo of myself and my dad at Chuck E. Cheese in 1986,” he shared with Bored Panda, attaching the adorable photo of the two eating slices of pizza in an email. “I couldn't believe how young he was! When you're a kid, you think your parents are ancient.”

    We also asked Dave about anything from the good old days that he wishes hadn’t become obsolete. “I wish video stores were still around,” he noted. “People often comment on my Blockbuster trucker hat and tell me how much they miss renting movies.” Dave also shared that "A Tribute to Defunct Video Stores," a love letter to long-gone local rental places, is one of Retro Injection's most popular entries.

    “I sorely miss Kay-Bee Toys!” Dave added, sharing this link to another Retro Injection piece discussing the famous toys. We also wanted to know if the nostalgia expert wished anything from his childhood hadn’t changed. “I wish arcades hadn't become casinos for kids,” he shared. “I constructed my home arcade from scratch, as a tribute to the Time-Out in which I grew up: I matched the color scheme of the former game room, and sourced the same pattern of industrial carpet. One of the machines is from that exact Time-Out. There's nothing like the immersive experience of being in a legit arcade!”

    16 was not a commercial success. It was mostly intended for spoken-word content and extra-long-playing albums but the fidelity was pretty low.

    There is a long story arc of a comedian who was a stoner and ended up driving Adam West to the airport. A BMW cut him off and caused an accident; the BMW owner laughed and said who do you think the police will believe - a stoned-out hippy or me, a wealthy businessman. Adam stepped out of the car in full Batman and said "Citizen, they will believe me"

    I inherited an Ethan Allen version of this. It comes as three pieces, with a curio hutch atop a cabinet and a dry bar atop a cabinet. My grandfather wired the entire house (theirs; now mine) with recessed speakers in the ceilings and put in a toggle switch plate on the wall above the “Hi-Fi” cabinet to turn on/off each room. Every speaker still works & sounds better than my pricey home theatre. I did have to replace the turntable belts and, of course, the needle, but it plays perfectly, too.

    We also asked Dave why it’s important to look back on these fond memories of the past that we have. “There's a saying that, ‘nostalgia is the enemy of progress,’ but I believe everyone should cling to their happy memories,” he says. “Looking back reminds you of your journey. Also, the stuff that inspires you in your youth is often most reflective of who you are at your core. That's why I'm a Ghostbuster!” he noted, attaching an awesome photo of himself all decked out in his ghost-busting gear.

    I miss the Pizza Hut RESTAURANT. There's still a sit down one near me, but never any cars except for the delivery driver or cook. They have THE WORST tiny parking lot, but back in the day, cars jockeyed for position to get in or out for hours, every night. There was an unspoken etiquette to it all. We always went after Colorguard shows and we were all wound up and celebrating -- but nobody minded and usually joined in! We'd load up the jukebox with quarters -- so many quarters. Our biggest songs were always Soft Cell's Tainted Love, Steve Miller's Abracadabra, and Tommy Tutone's Jenny/867-5309. Ah, memories...

    Here’s a small cooking tip with these: If you’re making a ham, take a can of orange juice concentrate and allow it slightly thaw out so that it’s becomes a paste. Then spread it over the top of your ham before baking as a glaze.

    When it comes to whether or not there’s anything that’s considered normal today that will make us feel extremely old in a few decades, Dave says that's becoming less of an issue than it once was, as society will continue to use the Internet and smartphones. “Over time, technology will simply become more powerful and invasive,” he explained. “Culturally, I fear that physical retail (aside from Wal-Mart) will be largely kicked to the curb in favor of clicking ‘add to cart’ from the comfort of the couch. I doubt that malls as we know them will be around forever.”

    In the 60's - 70's, the Navy base in Groton, CT had a ceramics studio for the use of sailors and their dependents. You could choose your mold, buy the "slip" in a gallon jug and make your own. They would fire it for 5, 10, 25 cents each. This same Christmas Tree mold was a popular item!

    I’m ashamed to say, my friends and I would screw up a couple of phone book pages, and stick them up the coin return slot so coins wouldn’t come out. Then come back and remove it and spend our ill gotten gains on lollies. Don’t worry tho, I’ve been on the straight and narrow ever since! 😀

    Don’t feel bad. When I was young and poor, I used to check coin return slots, just in case. If I was lucky, I put the change in a jar. When the jar was finally full, I took it to the bank to be counted and deposited in my account. Back in the day, my bank account was in feast or famine mode (feast on payday, famine once I paid the rent/bills (depending on what week of the month it was), and bought groceries and gas.

    Mine’s the larger one, gotten after the late seventies model (given to me when I moved into my own place) finally died after about 35 years. It served me well, especially when I was single and living on my own. Before leaving for work, all I had to do to have a hot meal all ready when I got home, was to dump the raw ingredients in the crockpot and turn it on. One less chore to do when I got home. My large crockpot is now 22 years old, gets used a lot, and STILL has plenty of life in it.

    You can still get decorated switch plates, but they're pricey. If you're crafty at all, you can design your own. The one in my bathroom isn't just decorated, it's dimensional. It's a long story, but the plate is Little Both Peep complete with sheep and hills. Probably older than me, but it's in good shape. Faded colors now, but totally intact. No cracks or chips, indestructible!!!

    This came on after the standard kids cartoons on Saturday morning. They presented children’s movies from overseas: a gamekeeper in the USSR and his beloved bobcat, a medieval Polish boy and his beloved curly-toe slippers, and “Hand in Hand” from the UK about a Catholic boy and Jewish girl running away to Africa. It was an example of an almost nonexistent genre “prestige children’s programming.”

    Same. I’m 62, and we always had washers and dryers that pretty much looked like they still do today. However, my mother had a distinct preference for having washing up outside to dry. She’d use the dryer, but only when it was raining or too cold to hang washing outside.

    My granny, who would have been 94 this year, said she had one when she first got married in the 40's. It sat on their porch, and since it had rollers and would agitate, they had to tie it down to keep it from rolling itself off the porch.

    We had our wringer washer until I was in school, 1970-71ish. The strict rule was no kids in the laundry room while Mom worked- the wringer washer was too dangerous for us to be around.

    Bad home permanents your mother—-who was not a professional hairdresser—-gave you. You cried for six months to a year, until it was all grown out and the burnt frizzy c**p could be shut off the bottom. Stupid thing is, I was born with wavy curly hair. Either it wasn’t curly enough for my mother, or she was trying to control the way it curled. Either way, her permanents were awful.

    Supposedly the name came from it swinging from your wrist, you naughty people! Seeing as the camera was made between 1965-1970, I'd say it predates the other use of the word swinger. Otherwise, dig the groovy theme song, "Meet The Swinger", as sung by Barry Manilow (he did a ton of ads before hitting it big in the '70s) and starring a young Ali MacGraw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z43tyvpK8us

    One of my mother’s favorite meals, nd one I cannot bide, nor could anyone else in the family, including my father. She ignored that, and would periodically subject us to this horror. My father used to get up from the table, make himself a sandwich, and sit back down. Then he’d look at us kids, and ask if we wanted sandwiches too. Then he’d make all of us, except my mother, sandwiches. He wasn’t the mean one here, however. My mother knew noone else in the household, including the dog, liked liver. If she wanted it, she could’ve just fixed a plate for herself. It was unfair of her to try and force the rest of us to eat it.

    We never had sh!t on a shingle at my house when I was growing up. My dad said he ate enough of it when he was in the Army. ;-)

    Did anyone else used to eat Welsh Rarebit on toast? We frequently had it for dinner. The Stouffers version that comes frozen in a block and gets cooked in the microwave. (Usually followed by Stouffers baked apples for dessert - also frozen and heated in the microwave) Except for years I thought it was called Welsh Rabbit - I could never figure out where the rabbit part came from. :)

    I remember these. When Snak-Pak came out with their ready-made puddings—-which tasted a whole lot better back in the day than they do now—-no one wanted to have to find hot water to make their pudding.

    I thought it was modern packaging at first - looks like they're holding phones.
