When the dude would pump your gas, check under the hood and clean your windshield.

I got clowned for mentioning that one on this forum. A lot of this shit got a nod from me, so let me just add:
Afterschool Specials on ABC
Taking a metal Buck Rogers lunchbox to school
Fuck a pool, playing in the fire hydrant in the summer
Videotaping videos to learn the dance moves
Stuffing the holes in cassette tapes with tissue to dub over it
Listening to Stretch and Bobbito on the late night
"trading" video game cartridges
buying cigs for my parents for under $2
getting a slice of pizza and a soda for $1
Girls had to wear them blue ass "gym suits" to gym
Huge video game arcades, not Dave and Busters
"The Box" and those 2 Live Crew/Luke Videos
You must be round my age cause all those hit home (Except fire hydant) Blessed to be able to take bus to beach growing up in Miami.
What ya'll know about BK's?
If they laughed at lottos, then it will kill them to remember the bootleg ones... At one point my mother gave me galaxies, the ones you buy out of shop rite with the plastic fasteners holding them together.
We also had chat lines with actual people calling to talk nationwide @ .99/minute
Yup, mines too! White pork(with koolaid), Mad dog 20/20 came right after that
What the hell happen to service stations?
you use to go to the gas station and get your tires changed, your oil looked at. Even have some one come out to pump your gas for you.

Haven't seen a service station to that par since the early 80s... You made me feel older
I remember the Lawrence Welk show too. Along with the bubbles and Lennon Sisters. But I wouldn't use those as reference points. How about:
1 cent bubble gum
1 cent Mary Jane candy
5 cent Baseball Cards (5 cards and a big stick of bubble gum)
6" 45 rpm of Motown's first hit "Money"
Westerns like Rawhide and Have Gun Will Travel
28 cents for premium gas1970
32 cents for a loaf of bread
But do you remember when on the back of the Alphabets cereal box they had cout out Jackson Fives songs that played as a 45rpm ?
Do you remember that the Flintstones was a prime time tv show.
DO you remember tv before cable
Do you remember tv was only on from 6am to 12 am
DO you remember bum wine
I remember when fireworks were legal in NY. I used to live on Park Place in Brooklyn and used to goto the candyshop on Franklyn to buy them. I remember when you needed one of these to ride the train.
I think my dad still has some. I also remember going to the theater with my parents to go see Stir Crazy
I also remember going to the corner store for the people in my building on Sunday to get the paper and taking the change to buy toppss baseball cards, when topps was the only card company around. I just turned 38 on Saturday.

All that and when TV used to go off at night time. As kids we played outside all day and when we did play video games at the corner store it was black and white and cost a dime. When Bob Marley had a concert that drew more people than the Pope. A slice of pizza and a Pepsi was less than a dollar. You could send your 6 year old to the store to get a pack of cigarettes and some rolling paper. Teachers still whooped ass in school and you hoped they wouldn't tell your parents what you did to get that ass whooping. The reading and writing books in school were Phonics and you could write in and keep the book given to you. Rapping was about the truth, current events and life in general. Family cars came in colors like orange, yellow, lime green or baby blue to name a few. Polyester was the new cotton. Michael Jackson was black with his original nose.
The Max Headrom shirt I wore as a kid. Keeping my blunts in a cassette case.

I haven't seen this since i left Florida. I haven't seen it at ALL in Cali or Texas.
I remember when payphones were all over the damn place. Now you can BARELY find 1 at the 7-11. And payphones are 50c now?
LOL @ stuffing the tapes to record over it.
And dubbing tapes on your Dual cassette boom box....music pirating at its finest!!
And the "Box"..."pop that coochie " "put'em on the glass"...watching the video titles scroll while you waited for people to pay $3.99/ 3 for $10 to play a video...insane!!!
My parents let me stay up late on Sunday night so I can see this little MFer...
y'all don't know nothin' 'bout Topio Gigio, dammit!
