Heather, are you sure you don't have selective amnesia? lol
These are the ones I remember:
Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water
Candy cigarettes
45 RPM records (the little ones, right?)
Drive ins
I know that Packards and Studebakers are cars (I think), but I know they were before me, and I've never sat my patootie in one. I was born in 1975, and even my granny had a souped up Chevy hot rod lookin thing.
"Soda pop machines that dispensed bottles" - I remember drinking out of bottles, but not machines that dispensed them.
I got five...six if you count party lines but i only know about those because when I lived in a rural part of hawaii right out of high school (early/mid-nineties) they still had them there...LOL!! We were on the information dirt road..:roll
ATTENTION ALL MODERATORS: SINCE WE HAVE QUITE A FEW 'OLDER THAN DIRT' FOLK ON THIS SITE, CAN WE GET AN OLD LADY AND OLD MAN IN ROCKING CHAIRS FOR AN EMOTICON? :chuckle
Specializes in Vents, Telemetry, Home Care, Home infusion.
24 out of 25---no wonder feeling old these days. Not a bubblegum person; Still have wax lips, wax bottles and 1 c red fish at local independent grocery store.
O.K. Bugger, I live in Australia and was feeling quite chirpy untill I read the last post, most of those things made it out here. I'm going to bed now, right after a warm Horlicks.
hey...we still have a drive in here where i live....still open all summer long...http://www.midwaydrivein.com/info/location.shtml
WOW! That's the drive-in I used to go to when I lived up there! It's been >30 years since we moved...I saw "Yours, Mine & Ours" and "Oliver" there...that's what I remember at least!
I scored a 12 & despite the advice to not tell my age, I am quite proud to be turning 39 next month!
I gave this quiz to some of the people I work with. One young (born 1977) woman got a 4 as a score. When I looked at her quiz I noticed she indicated she knew what a Packard was. I asked her how she knew...her response...well, it's a computer as in Hewlet Packard. We "senior folk" almost wet our pants!
:confused: 
:chuckle
