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.

For those of us in the UK and particularly around the Birmingham area, Beer at home means Davenport's

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 = You’re 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.

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!

:)

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.
