for older generation?

Question

how many of you remember when soda pop was a dime, and how many of you remember clamp on roller skates, and how many of you remember the old tv shows of the fifties

Answer 1

I do!

The pop was a dime or 11 cents. My roller skates had an adjustable slide on the bottom that was tightened by a skate key.

My favorite older shows were Honeymooners, Leave it to Beaver and Lucy.

Answer 2

Me...Well I was born in the late 1950s, so I remember shows like Bonanza and Gunsmoke and Father Knows Best and Leave it to Beaver (the stuff you see on TV Land now, and yes I do still watch some of them!) I always used to watch them and wish I could be part of their family. My brother and I were latch key kids, our dad was in the Navy and gone a lot and our mother worked.

I had some of those roller skates that clamped onto the shoes, but I never was very good with them or skateboards. Just clummsy as a kid.

The soda pop came in returnable bottles and you could take a soda bottle and a quarter to the little market next to my grandmother's old house in NC and buy enough crap to make yourself sick!

The first pack of cigarettes I ever bought only cost me 50 cents and I got them out of a machine at the hospital when my grandfather was a patient, I got my tail kicked because my mother caught my brother and me smoking too!

I was just the right age in the 70s to appreciate some real good "weed" smoked in a "TM" (toke master bong) or rolled in zig zag wheat straw papers, get a buzz and drink some pony beers (Rolling Rock) and watch the heat lightening from the beach of the Atlantic Ocean. Not all leagal memories but surely a nice stroll down memory lane, thanks...

Good question!

Answer 3

Not sure how much a soda was then, but I had a pair of the clamp-on skates (they even had a key!!). My favorite shows were: Leave It To Beaver; Father Knows Best; My Little Margie; The Real McCoys; Mickey Mouse Club (Annette was my heroine!!).

Thanks for the memories...
