What do you remember?

It's a joke I heard somewhere.

And that was in 30-years-ago $30, which is, like. $100 today.

It won't be too long until we're saying, "I remember when there was money. I remember when we had to drive our own car."

Yes!!
I had that lol:)
So stupid right?
I also had the King Kong promotinal straw for the late '70s remake...the harder you drew in the higher that little ape climbed up the straw!
Im kinda shocked no kids ever chocked on that gadget of death...seems dangerous in hindsight:/

My mom had a wringer washing machine. When I was a teen it finally died - and she went out and bought another one! It was probably the last one you could still buy. Her reasoning was two-fold: she thought it cleaned clothes better than automatic washers, and she would spend most of Saturday in the basement doing laundry for our family of eight - it was her "alone" time. She'd turn on the old radio and sing while she worked.

Good ones! We had candy cigarettes, but not the bubblegum cigars - my parents didn't want us having gum (I think they were concerned about where it would end up when we were done chewing).

Having someone in your family HOLD the rabbit ears to let his/her body's electricity magnify the video signal--and then stand there for 60 freaking minutes (unless it was Playhouse 90 [minutes]) so that all the rest of us could watch the show. This is why people who lived through the decade of the 50s (consult Kate Turabian's Chicago Manual of Style: no apostrophe is required before a decade's identification, and no apostrophe following the decade's numeral, because an apostrophe designates either an abbreviation that is not time-based or a possessive ONLY; and, yes, I am showing off in the name of literacy.).
