TweetRemember when...........

McDonald's used to advertise buying a Big Mac, fries, and a drink and "you still get change back from your dollar"?

Norman Leah ruled the sitcom business when creating spin offs from other sitcoms:

"All In The Family/Archie's Place"- from that came "Maude" & "The Jeffersons"

From "Maude"came "Good Times"
"Alice"-from that came "Flo" (short lived)

Every automobile division produced their own parts (nothing interchangable):

In other words, an Oldsmobile 455 engine was different from the Buick 455 engine. The Pontiac 454 was not the same as Chevy's 454.

There were 3 types of gasoline: Regular Leaded, Premium Leaded, Regular Unleaded.

There were no Exxon Oil Company. Instead, the name then was Esso.

President Richard Nixon had 2 Vice Presidents: Spiro Agnew & Gerald Ford.

The greatest threats during school fights weren't someone presenting a gun or knife but a chain or brass knuckles.

Public school lunches were FREE!! (The students would receive a plastic token to receive milk)

TweetI remember a few of them......thanks for the memories.

TweetWOW! I love it! Thank you BBK!!!!

TweetBefore Diet Coke existed, Coca-Cola's diet drink was TaB.

7Up advertised itself at the "Uncola". This ad went so far as to create a drinking glass shaped as an upside down Coca-Cola glass. 7Up's motto was "crisp & clean with no caffein"

Most of the daily meals were cooked in pounds and pounds of lard, with no fear of health problems.

Cigarettes were advertised on television.

Tweetwow...you guy's ARE fukin old!!! i remember being TOLD about that shyt...you know...those "tell me about the olden days" conversations?

TweetI rem some of them,Atari got boring qwik so we went outside to play baseball instead.

TweetHaving a child makes me think of these types of things all the time now. It's something to watch my newly turned 4 yr old play games on the computer. Think how fast the new generation will progress.

My kids will damn sure know respect, compassion, and appreciation. That's what most of these little brats weren't taught. Somehow allot of parents forgot about those little traits.

Cool post bbk

Tweetactually...reading that first list...i do remember alot of that. i would also have to admit, i'm one of the few that REALLY miss those days. i'm not exactly "excited" about the "advances" we've made as a society...the more we make things faster, the more we got to do! cant live in a 1 income family anymore and there's never enough hours in the day....the good old days were that....good days

Tweeti rode standing in the front seat of my Dad's 1969 fairlane with my hands on the dash doing 80mph down the highway.

no car seat

i carried a pocket knife to school because my grangpa said "better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it" nobody cared.

playing sports points counted and you werent "co-winners"
