The ‘80s Was A Fun Decade And These 50 Pics Speak For Themselves

Have one right now. Found it in someone's garbage.

I had this in the 70's

I'm 56 and still have one.

Had one in THE SIXTIES yes

I still have one!

Have one of these, too. Also found in someone's garbage.

Mine was a Technics one but very similar!

First thing we bought when we moved in together. Strange how music just isn’t that important these days.

My mom had one that looked much like this one and my younger brother also had a similar set-up

That's actually small compared to the one I had...still have. Sadder yet is there's nothing affordable made today equal to it.

Pro tip: if you ever find any of these hidden in your parents' room, DO NOT PLAY THEM!

Those aren't blank, they're full of stuff we recorded from Friday night Skinemax.

I still have some unopened. Still have my VCR and some tapes because not everything is available on DVD and most of my movie collection isn't found anywhere online. My camcorder also uses VHS tapes, not that I've used it recently.

Used to record off TV lol hitting the buttons and all

Yep

We may have played with this in the 80s, but this particular model is from 1967.

Yep. My nieces had it

2000's kid here but yes

Have it, as usual found in someone's garbage along with the school, house, and apartment building.

My ex's three year old has one. Garage sales ftw!

The diamond standard in stickers!

I just had a pain in my heart when I saw this. I had forgotten all about these and it's been many years since I've even given them any thought. These were an extravagant item for a poor family.

I can smell and feel that picture lol

Puffies, scratch n' sniff, Lisa Franke, I had an elaborate sticker collection!

i get these from 5 Below and Dollar Tree

Christ the noise off these😱😱😱😂

What's a Ge Alarm?

Had mine for 20+ years.

I still use mine!!

Mine is a Panasonic. Sorry.

Still have the tip of one of these embedded in my finger

They are in my kids boxes right now... reliving the trauma of losing one😞😞😞

I think I took a test with just a cartridge once. LOL

Ugh, seeing one of these pencils reminds me of the time I had a whole set stolen from me. I won them at a church picnic, a set of 4 pencils in their own plastic sleeve. I was in 4th grade, and so excited about having them. I brought them in to school, and had them sitting on my desk, first thing in the morning. The girl sitting next to me saw them and asked if she could have one. Of course I said no. Two seconds later, I turned my back long enough to get a book out of my desk (stupid, I now know, but I was only 9 years old when this happened), and when I turned back, they were gone. I immediately told the other girl I knew she stole them, and to give them back. She denied it, and told me to look through her desk. So I did. It was only after I pulled every single thing out of her desk that I realized she had to have put them in her purse. I demanded to look through her purse. She, of course, said no. At that point the teacher stepped in (because I was, by then, shouting), and I can't remember if she didn't believe me, or just didn't think it was important enough to deal with. But she definitely didn't have my back. I think all she did was ask the other girl "Did you steal [Marie]'s pencils?" Of course the girl denied it again, and that was it. I lost my whole set of pencils, before I even got to use them, and the other girl sat there with a smug smile on her face, basically openly gloating at me. I wanted to slap it off her face, and cry my eyes out. Of course I didn't. But I sure wanted to. Fúck you, Beth Holmes.

These were often sparkly, and often sold at book fairs.

Passed down from grandmothers and our mothers. I still cook with them!

and we still have them!

They are eternal
