1. As a kid you were the one who had to go outside and rotate the tv antenna so the one station in your area would come in better.
2. As a young fan, you had the pleasure of sitting on wood seats at Tiger Stadium, splinters were free.
3. Drive in movies
4. Freezer section in the refrigerator could hold maybe one gallon of ice cream.
5. Cars had cigarette lighters on the back of the front seat for passengers in the backseat.
Feel free to add your memories before you get too old to remember them.

You were lucky to be able to get 3 channels on tv and you watched whatever came on next until someone got up to get a drink or go to the bathroom

I remember when the cashiers at grocery stores had to ring everything up by hand. It didn't take as long as you would think.

Returning Coke bottles to the store. When I was a kid I loved putting them on the conveyor belt at the store we shopped at.

When having a knife at school was fine and a gun wasn't even that big of a deal.

I remember when this thing came out and it absolutely drove everyone crazy. I was in JR High school
I remember stashing one of these in my book bag (there were no back packs yet really) and getting in trouble for having it at school. 2nd grade I believe.
I mean, it would light up and shite
