I guess this confirms it. I am old.:-( I remember 13. The coffee shop is the problem. This is the first town I have lived in that had a coffee shop. The juke boxes I remember were in diners.
How about bottles of fizzy drinks with the crock and wire stoppers

The crank telephone belongs in there somewhere.
Groan. I'm so old I remember when basketball was a white man's game...Boston Blackie was on television...the Shadow was on radio...Flav-r-straws...doctors made house calls and nobody had (or needed) medical insurance...cars had vent windows...grace was said by the class before eating lunch...in PUBLIC schools!.......(I think I'll stop now.....I'm starting to nod off......)
14 for 14. And I'm not even that ancient, 58.
I'm 82......................What was the question?
Gee, thanks. I was having a reasonably good morning before I took this quiz ... now all I want to do is go lie down after a large Metamucil shake.
BTW I remember each and every one of those ... and as jjmoran said the quiz brought back a hundred more memories from childhood. Not a bad thing I guess ... and from the responses on here at least I'm not alone in the geezerhood department!
:)
Whew! I'm only getting older. :D
I am positively ancient, remember all.

I must be 'positively ancient' but those memories are part of my life.

I remember 12. We lived up in the sticks so milk wasn't delivered though I heard about it. Never heard of sweet cigarettes unless you're referring to the candy sugar cigarettes--then the count goes up to 13. (64 yo next week.) :)
All including candy "cigarettes". Also 78 rpm records, no TV at all, 5 cent 7 oz Cokes in vending machines, wide whitewall tires, running boards, ice boxes, and balloon tired single speed bikes that weighed as much as I did.
