Answer 1

Answer 2

I'd like to go back a decade earlier when they served Strawberry, Chocolate & Vanilla Ice Cream Cones from the truck. We use to play Battling Tops & Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots & Gas was only 68 cent per gallon. & those Champange Ice Cream Cones from the Parlor & staying up late (10:00 pm) to watch Candid Camera cause my parents were at work. Finally I'll never forget those 25 & 50 cent House & Basement Parties that were so much fun. Thanks 4 the memories

Answer 5

I certainly remember ice cream trucks and "Space Ghost." Both were yesterday. :) I remember when gas went up to a buck a gallon, and people were in an uproar about it. :) I have fond memories of Vienetta. :)

I remember when Polaroid cameras were new, and everybody had to have one, and they cost $200! Which would be, like, $700 now - LOL!

I remember roller disco, leg warmers, pet rocks ... But funniest of all, I remember when only old people said "gay," and it meant "happy"!

PS: Rogue was born about the same time I was - around 1970. :)

Answer 6

Gas when I started driving was 35 cents. But I remember it was at one time 29 cents. Of course there were 5 cent candy bars and 10 cent bottles of pop and 90 cents for a small pizza.
1 yes
2 yes, when it came on (60's)
3 yes
4 Never heard of it.
5 The car commercials.
6 no.

Answer 7

Lord.. I must be older than you!! lol...
I remember ice cream trucks and the snow cones that had a red gumball at the bottom to prevent leaks. I remember SpaceGhost.. he's on Cartoon Network late nights now.
I remember when gas had lead in it and it was only $0.65 a gallon. I remember candy cigs., wax bottles, and "dots" (basically sugar dots on wax paper sold in sheets). I remember real jawbreakers.. the kind that was too big for your mouth. I remember party lines on the phone.... and when all kids HAD to play outside (moms kicked us out and left a metal pitcher of kool-aid and a cup if you were lucky). I remember when you could get a regular taco at Taco Bell for $0.39 and a burger at McDonalds for $0.49. Now.. what year to you think I was born in??..lol
