Fer my two cents worth, I remember ads for direct-dial long distance.  And using a party line telephone system.

Hmm..that leads me to wonder..how so many people had jobs without the use or invention of the cell phone? There used to be this thing..that plugged into a wall jack and you could operate it just as easily as a cell phone, if not easier.
No mobile phone, no job? How is that so?

I was being sarcastic <s>

I remember the citizen band radio home base system. I even remember my call letters, as we were not allowed to use nick names.

ok, does anyone besides me remember some kind of pudding that came with what looked like a mini martini shaker.. you put the pudding mix in, then added milk (or water?) and shook it until it was set?


Shake-a-Puddin'!  I remember that!

Pop/soda (depending on where you're from) came in cartons of glass bottles, and you had to take the bottles back to the store to get your deposit back.  If you needed quick cash, you could find a few alongside the road and cash them in!

You played outside all day and knew you had to go home when the street lights came on.

Friday nights were for The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game

You wore shorts under your dresses to school so the boys couldn't look up your dress when you climbed the monkey bars. 

Speaking of playgrounds, they were made of asphalt and metal, not all cushy rubber padding and mulch.  If you skinned your knee or broke an arm, hey, it would heal.

We were actually afraid of the principal.  (Our principal was rumored to have an electric padding machine in his office)

Our parents paid the babysitter 50 cents an hour and anything they wanted that was in the fridge.

Barbie's best friend was Midge

Your library card was made of card stock and had a little metal plate on it.  When you checked out a book, that little machine sounded like rifle shots echoing through the quiet library when they stamped the return date on the other cards.  The card catalog had little drawers with index cards.

Medical equipment like syringes and needles were sterilized (hopefully) and re-used. (Ugh)

A real rabbit actually died when they had a positive pregnancy test.

LOL....I had totally forgotten about it till you mentioned it.  There was another product similar to it that you shook up, and it would settle in three layers.  I think the bottom was pudding, the middle was mousse-like and the top was whipped cream-like, sort of.  It didn't last long.

A few more.....

Jonny Quest

For people in the Cleveland area.....Ghoulardi, the Gene Carroll Show and Polka Varieties.

Little kids stood up in the back seat while in the car, no car seats then.  Even if the car had seat belts, you just stuffed them down between the seats so they were out of the way. 

Cheerleaders wore saddle shoes, bobby socks and skirts below the knee.

A burger, fries and milkshake at McD's was under $1.00.  And they had real golden arches.
