Perfect

Robin was such an amazing person. I want to cry anytime I see him or watch his movies, I miss him so much.

I agree... lol

Guilty as charged!

When you get a perfect picture but your finger sticks out in the corner…

In summer, you had to run the hose a bit first otherwise it was hot water that tasted like rubber

Hey you guys!

I got to spin the wheel once (relative works for CBS & he was giving us a backstage tour). It's *really* heavy.

I have this and I’m a teenager

and it is resistant, since the 70s, we are in the 4th generation to play with, still works "Ding!" !

My car still has these

I used to be a smoker, still hated people smoking where I was eating back then.

The MARVELLOUS! THE MAGICAL!!! MAD MAD MAD MAD MADAM MIM!!! XD

And I don't want them back

I recently went to a high school reunion. Those of us who are still alive are turning 75 this year. :)

Those were also table footballs

We called the theatre phone number and listened to the recorded listings on repeat

Much of my middle school yearbooks looked like this.

My dads car had a hatch in the backseat that gave access to the boot, my dumbass would happily travel about in the boot with my head through the hatch.

I'll can tell you, as the teacher writing on and teaching from an overhead projector, that thing gave off massive amounts of heat! I pitied the kid sitting behind it.

World 8 -1 if I remember correctly.

bc tupperware was the first MLM and the pitcher was one of the starter welcome presents to new members.

I remember when those were called "hard disks" and floppy disks were larger and literally floppy.

It's good to be the King. (also shout out to my first ever crush, the Brazilian Bombshell herself, Cleo Rocos)

Maybe, but Ford has had a spontaneous combustion issue WAY before Tesla. Think it started with the Windstar

Kids still do this...

“I have little feet because nothing grows in the shade.” - Dolly Parton Don’t you just love her. And here’s a cheesy joke. Q. How can you spot Dolly's children in a crowd? A. They're the ones with stretch marks round their mouths.

All of them had to be checked for any coins left in the coin return slot, you never know!

Yeah we had some, bloody horrific seeing them again. Somethings you don't need reminding of

Is this American? I think the UK equivalent is chip paper and those foam ceiling tiles!

Heeeeeeey !

Tales from the crypt!

"UUUUUUPPPPP next it's COUPLE'S skate!!! Grab your sweetheart and head to the floor!!!!" ::: Every middle schooler::::: immediately skates to the exit

OMFG! I got this toy and I loved it I was convinced that I was going to be a fashion designer. I'm not.

Brilliant movie and songs, Sir Didymus and his noble steed are still my favourite characters.

By the time I was a kid we were playing Cruisin' USA. We earned those book-it pizzas.

Lol it's true. There was a point where everything had to be see-through so we can see the workings inside. Phones, toys, etc.

Aaaand just like that, I'm 11 years old again

Bees and splinters

I remember the day they replaced the blackboards in my school with whiteboards (2001)

"Remember that waiter in Paris?"

Silly Putty.......in a plastic egg.

for both cats and human children

Who you gonna call?

It was never cool. Trendy: yes. Cool: no.

I was the opposite. "Dad, I can swim!" *takes armbands off* *has to be fished out from under the water*

Swizzles. Still eat them and not just in summer.

Im Gen Z and I fckn LOVE these!

You can still buy them.

Swizzles! I usually opted for the candy necklace, though. Wrapped it around my wrist/arm. Now you know why my arm was moist enough to "tattoo" with silly putty. Also, for anyone about yo hold me up as some sort of germ paragon because we were "just built stronger", I did get bacterial meningitis at 6 that nearly killed me. So, please don't do that. No, surprisingly it wasn't from the phone licking.

these things are like crack, they're addictive. we get a bag of lollies etc in for halloween and you can guarantee I'll end up eating all these before the kids get a look in...
