I remember quite a few of them, and am old enough to understand or recognize the ones that I wasn't around for. I don't think it's at all depressing, in fact I think it's kind of neat!

And the old Sissy Bars for bikes.

[SkymonkeyONE 4]

When 8-track was the medium of choice, I remember my Aunt Nan having an older 4-track. People with a lot of cach had sexy Teac real-to-reals. Any audiophiles remember Magneplanar speakers?

Yep, we made choppers by cutting he forks off another bike, then beating them on and welding them onto the stock forks, thus extending the front end considerably.

Yep, flat and big. People built them right into their walls in some cases. One of my dad's friends owned a high-end audio shop in Auburn, AL back in the 60's and 70's.

***That was how it started...then we used 3 foot long hollow tubes, and a 7inch wheel up front! Looked great but not a great handling bike.

26. The Fuller Brush man

Word is he was my father.

Seriously though, at 25 I can remember a lot of those..I loved candy cigarettes, but the wax bottles always gave me a headache. Now Wispa bars..I *loved* Wispa bars. I thought they disappeared but someone in England sent me a bunch a few years ago..

I do remember 6, 10, 26, 32, and 35. Do not remember 11 and 22. But I've heard stories.

Of course, I might be a slight bit older than you, seeing as my 38th b'day is a week from today.

Know what? My grandmother saw:
1. 2 world wars
2. Lights come on in her house
3. Flight begin, and continue to the moon
4. Horsedrawn buggies become Ferraris
5. Ice boxes become SubZero fridges
6. Financial desitution and subsequent personal wealth.
7. The death of two children who would not die if they were born now.
8. Movies, radio and television become commonplace
9. Pot-bellied stoves to microwaves
10. Societal changes from an ankle being provocative to micro mesh bikinis...

This has been a most incredible century. She was 98 when she passed away in the mid '90s. To hear her stories, to hear her history, was an amazing thing for a child growing up; it gave a sense of perspective of the accomplishments (good and bad) which is unmatched in current times.

I remember all of the above and then some. I remember pumping gas in my grandparents store when it was .28 a gallon. I remember my grandparents house before air conditioning, buying blocks of ice for their icebox from the guy who drove around peddling it, and laughing at my great grandparents when they first got running water in their house. I have also churned better and put it into a press.

Times have changed so much just in our lifetimes it is amazing.
