Oh yes, good stuff.

Loved those Coke machines that dispensed glass bottles. You put in your money, opened the glass door and pulled out the bottle, it was lying on its side with the cap facing out and enough neck to grab and pull. At least that's how the machines in my town were. If you didn't have any money you could open the glass door, hold a paper cup under the top of the bottle that was lying on its side and remove the bottlecap with the opener on your pocketknife. The Coke would spill from the bottle into your cup. Or if you only had money for one Coke and several thirsty friends, you could put your money in, open the door, pull the bottle out about halfway and stick a long blade screwdriver into the mechanism that dispensed the bottle. This would hold the roller up and you could keep pulling bottles out as long as the screwdriver was in place. Now vending machines flash and lock up if you try to shake them... What's the world coming to???

LOL MOST OF THEM That was life ...Except for the partyline...Didnt like it..What about door to door fruit peddlers...And how bout Clackers

TECHNOLOGY AND MY YOUNGER GENERATION!!!

Hey 16 out of twenty. It would have been 20 but But in the UK it's petrol not gasoline, and the money screwed me a bit too. Still a Classic Country Girl (69 years old) but still a girl. Merle, Johnny Cash, Hank Snow, oh good days . you're right where did they go.

i can remember just about all of them tex, what happened?
i'd like to know too.

I remember a lot of them and I'm only 30. Guess that goes to show you I am a true Country girl. Plus my brother is 12 years older than me...most of the toys were his. HAHA Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.

lol..well, i remeber cndy cigarettes and blowing on them so the powder came off to look like smoke
2. Platic army men, ALL OVER THE HOUSE and my mom getting mad for stepping on them barefoot...lol
3. Was coke bottles, you bet. loved those and chewed on the wax like it was bubble gum
4. Yep and i remember the crates were wood
5. tableside jukeboses..i remember those too, we had them at the local Oscars which was a drive up and car hop
6. Blackjack was my favorite
7. Never had home delivery. we were poor I remember dehydrated milk in boxes though
8. Never had one of those but Ido remember party lines
9. my first record was Tennessee Ernie Ford on a 45
10. Metal Ice cube trays. you bet and them sliding all over the counter trying to dislodge them
11. I remember those but my brothers liked cap guns better...lol
12. Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler. watched that show faithfully every weekend along with zoorama
13. Drive in.s stole myself into a lot of those and ours had a complete kids playground behind the screen with swingsets..It is actually still here but the playground is gone, they finally sold off the land and just kept the area with the parking and screen. I remember tripping over the humps in the parking lot in the dark going to the concession stand
14. Car hops...you bet. cruising friday nights and meeting there
15, 17, 18 had all those
18. I think I remember 25 cents
19. Yep, and the gum that came withthem. That was nasty crumbly gum...lol
20. I think the first gallon first gas I bought was about 38 cents

We let it happen. Prices go up of course, but good things should not change. There is nothing of today's garbage, like hip hop, that will be remembered.

Pretty much everything but #8...Liberal media...

yes I remember all of those. Brings back memories of better times.When a kid could work in the fields and get paid and go to the picture show every night. Strip-down cars with doors welded shut so we had to jump in instead of using the door.

I'm only 33, but some of that stuff was still around when I was a kid.
1.Candy Cigarettes,
2.Plastic army men,
3.wax Coke shaped bottles (you can find these in specialty candy stores and through catalogs on the web.)
4.soda machines with glass bottles, still had 'em in Dallas Tx. when I was a toddler.
9. 45prm records, my parents listened to those up 'til about 1979.
10.metal ice cube trays, my grandpa used those 'til he passed away in 1979.,
13. Drive-in movies, there's atleast one in the Dallas-Forth Worth area that's still open, don't know where at though., 15.16., & 17. my uncle got my brothers a set of these for christmas right before 1979.

1979 was a big year for us I guess.

TOO MANY TEX...and it's so sad cause i wish it were just a tad like that today...man what i'd give to live back in the 50's and know what i know now..HEY THAT REMINDS ME OF THE STATLERS SONG..DO YOU REMEMBER THESE!

I'm 12 years old and I remember a lot of this stuff.
1. Candy cigarettes were a big hit with my friends and I about 2 summers ago.
2. I had a couple old plastic army men...makes me wonder where they went to.
3. My dad managed to find some of those wax bottles a couple years ago...but they stopped selling them.
11. Cork guns are still awesome here.
13. Actually, there's still a drive in movie theatre here in mt town.
15. My 4th grade teacher had Tinker Toys in her closet for rainy days at recess.
17. 4th and 5th grade teachers had Lincoln Logs.
I'm not nearly old enough to have the pleasure of experiencing the last three numbers, but I've heard plenty of stories from my dad. Does anyone remember Burger Chef?

I guess most kids today wouldn't know what half of these things are, but I guess it helps to have a dad that was a farmboy in the 60's and growing up in rural Indiana.

I remember 12 of them and you are so correct. That was living good. Change really does stink at times.
