I miss the daily tv commercials that reminded kids to eat healthy. They always reminded us to "drink your milk and eat your honey"
Question for older folks

Too bad most guys didn't realize when they paid less than $50 for a marriage license, that sometimes you get what you pay for
if they made a marriage license the cost of a divorce....nobody would be married...

I miss the old days when gas was full service at only $0.299 per gallon (or $0.1109 per liter for our friends North of the Boarder)

Hitchhiking. Covered a lot of ground using my thumb. Never had a bad experience.

Both drove and ridden as a hitchhiker --- never would pick up a female and was never picked up buy one.

I don't miss them. I owned a full service Texaco gas station with 3 service bays, and dealing with the oil companies were a major PITA. So bad that I had to check every time I put my hands in my pocket to make sure THEY were not still there.

I miss being able to go out and about and seeing people actually paying attention to what they are doing instead of them staring at a stupid hunk of metal/plastic and glass that they are holding in their hand. Seriously, have you ever just sat down in a public place and watched people? I would bet that more than 95% of them are looking at their damn cell phones. I wish cell phones would be banned tomorrow. The world would be a better place.

I would be all for this, but before they ban the cell phones they would need to put back all of the pay phones that have gone away

While I'm just a few years out of gen x and don't fit the criteria for this thread I refuse to tag myself as a millennial(still trying to claim to be young even though my body wants to disagree some days) however I will say that I'm thoroughly enjoying these posts. While I may not be able to relate to all I grew up with most and agree. It's been nice to look back as you guys reflect...

We are good. Thanks for asking. Kids are getting a lil home sick but hoping to have them back after mother's day. Told them to count their blessings and be glad their healthy. They're strong and that we'll be back in the slingshot and getting to normal soon.

Mobile phones are great - when they first came out - then they added the internet — we all see where that went 😩

Does anyone remember a cherry coke and a warm honey bun after school, only $.20 ?
