 How many of these (and if any more) do you remember?

All of them. I guess I'm old.

I must really be old, because some of those things I've used in the last year or so - the the car keys. I remember like it was yesterday when I had a separate key for the ignition and one for the trunk - no electronic automatic anything

Quick question: Is Vick's Vapor Rub no longer sold? That surprised me

As a kid, we had very few toys compared to kids of today. Nothing electronic of course. We used to do battle with the neighbor kids on empty 50 gallon barrels (walk backwards to go forward, spin, whatever it took to knock the other kid off their barrel). I also had stilts made from a split two-by-four as did my brother and we'd do battle on those things to knocck the other off his stilts. And my favorite toy as a little kid was a Tonka truck that was made out of steel. Mine was a Jeep pickup and I tied baler twine to it and dragged it all over the farm. We didn't have much money

I'm so old, I can still remember the smell of the interior of my Dad's '52 Nash Ambassador - not a good smell

Here's a few more

I used to love going to the Green Stamp Store and browsing. It's where I got my baseball glove and a few other things

And every car I owned for 30 years had these on the floor

And this one has been talked to death on this board

When I was 18, I had a '68 Road Runner and a stack of 8-track tapes for the unit under the dash

I know I'm old. Even if I'm not as old as some of you, I either had or had friends who had all of the items in the pictures.

I really loved that "corn popper" push toy when I was small. Managed to get one for my youngest daughter almost 10 years ago.

Peace!
