I remember my friend having one of the first cell phones. They were HUGE!!!

Bag phones...LOL

I’m so old I remember having assignments for classes and having to seek catalogues from the travel agent, cutting them up and pasting the pictures onto poster boards.

And use Elmer glue and get everything sticky.

ISOIR I remember programming my VCR and erasing my friend’s “Inside Vanessa Del Rio” classic. Me and Juan never spoke again until recently.

I erased his treasure for a Jets game with Browning Nagle at QB.

We still have read phone boxes in many U.K. villages. These days the phones are gone, replaced with defibrillators or mini libraries.

They also have the Red Phone Booths at Epcot..

Im so old I cant remember what I just remembered to post....

wait, there it is.

New Coke

Probably would have been best if I hadn't remembered

That was our generations version of the Bud light fiasco. Coke lost A lot of revenue. Lesson, dont change things that work.

They really are an iconic triumph of design. They just cheer places up!

I remember renting a VCR for my sleepover bday party in Jr. High (because only rich people actually owned them) and watching Eddie and the Cruisers in our sleeping bags.

When the ONLY diets drinks were TAB and SHASTA...

Tab. My story.

Had two uncles with 4x4’s (one a ’73 Bronco, the other “75 K5 Blazer, oh to have either today!) and we pack off to one of the back bays to go crabbing on a hot July day.

My Aunt was one of those hip ‘70’s chic’s who was fashionable to her core. The best clothes, the best furniture. She just oozed taste. Thin, beautiful and intended to stay that way. Hence the Tab.

Me, a typical 10yr old, sucked down all the 7’up’s within the first hour. Well, around hours 4-8 I was getting thirsty! All that was left was, the Tab. I had to drink that crap the rest of the day

I’m not sure why we didn’t have any water? I do know I hated anything remotely “diet” from that point forward, and especially, Tab!

ISOIR when everything on TV or in cinema was about WWII or “cowboys and injuns”.

Including endless repeats of a series called “Combat”

 

[SiFi]

Pong, the video game.
