Older Than Dirt Quiz:
Count all the ones that you remember, not the ones you were told about.
Ratings at the bottom
1. Sweet cigarettes
2. Coffee shops with juke boxes
3. Home milk delivery in glass bottles
4. Party lines on the telephone
5. Newsreels before the movie
6. TV test patterns that came on at night after the last show and were there until TV shows started again in the morning.. (There were only 2 channels [if you were fortunate])
7. Peashooters
8. 33 rpm records
9. 45 RPM records
10. Hi-fi's
11. Metal ice trays with levers
12. Blue flashbulb
13. Cork popguns
14. Wash tub wringers
If you remembered 0-3 = Youre still young
If you remembered 3-6 = You are getting older
If you remembered 7-10 = Don't tell your age
If you remembered 11-14 = You're positively ancient!
I must be 'positively ancient' but those memories are part of my life.

Don't forget Spud Guns as well. :-P
And I remember that we could leave our front door open without fear of burglary and as children we could play safely in the streets - something that modern children are generally not able to.

That was long before smoking was realised to be dangerous and long before we were told that sugar is seriously bad for our health. :shock:
