Oh snap! I remember them all!

[LilysDad]

Where has time gone?

[Wingnut]

You old as dirt, I remember those things also I guess I am old as dust:ROF

On the rare occasion I would get to ride into town on Saturday night in the back of the neighbors stake bed truck, my mother would give me a quarter. That would get me into the movie for 9 cents. Then I had to make a big rescission, if I got a bag of popcorn for 5 cents, I would not have the 15 cents needed for that big delicious barbecue sandwich at the restaurant after the movie.

Remember those items posted? Much more.

Yep, I remember most of them. Some I don't think were around my neck o' the woods in New England though. I remember gas @ $0.13 per gallon at the discount station,and $0.17 @ regular stations. Cigarettes @ $0.17 a pack for regular brands,and SPUDS and WINGS for $0.14 a pack. Morning paper for two cents, evening for three. Sunday for a nickel.

I remember much of it. Thanks for posting.

I remember like yesterday, riding my single speed bike to the cow store(drive thru convenience store with a fiberglass cow on top). Taking my quarter and bying a honey bun and 1/2 pint of whole milk and getting 2 cents back. Must have been about 1968 - 1969. Wolfing that sweet pastry down and chasing it with the milk.

Neat memories there. Lots of fun things.

Notice the sign under McDonalds--Over 200 million sold? Bet they sell 200 million in a day, now...

[Bill Kapaun]

I've SOLD gasoline for 20.9! That was slow time in the winter.Summer was 25.9.
I remember just 1 nickel Coke machine they had at the newspaper for the carriers. 6? oz. bottles though.

"I remember just 1 nickel Coke machine they had at the newspaper for the carriers. 6? oz. bottles though"

Yah, 6 oz, btls, I always got Pepsi because they had larger btls., 5 cent pk. of peanuts, dump them in and sit on the back of the bench at pool hall and watch the "big boys" play, I never had the money to splurge on playing pool.

Remember most of them. Some just were not in our area. Actually I don't remember any of them anymore!

[cleatusj]

Hell Ken, I thought you were talking about things old, like when you watched Moses part the sea.

[Dan Lovell]

Anybody remember chariot races:ROF :ROF :ROF ?????

Count me in! Red Skelton was always one of my favorites. :fing32:

[cleatusj]

Going to bed on saturday night at 10:30 hearing ET sing "I'm walking the floor over you".

[glenn27]

I remember most of them--matter of fact--still have a Akai reel/reel tape deck(and 60+ tapes of early rock/roll) that I got overseas back in '69 or so.
First gas I remember pumping was about .25 a gallion--Sunoco, too!!

Thanks Ken!!

[tallgrass]

How about the big old iron wash pot to heat hot water to wash clothes and metal scrub boards. I still got a box of 78 records.
We had a small hamburger stand that sold them for 5cent and you got the top dipped in the grease.

[xdiver86]

It kind of scares me to know all of them. The lowest I remember gas was.18or.19 cents. I do remember dad buying wellhead gas for about .10 . It ran just fine in our f30 and our 49chevy 11/2 ton truck.

[earth]

Yes I remember most of those things. I still have my Grandmothers old refrigerator. The type that used a block of ice to keep the 'ice box' cold. It's still in use today as my drill press stand. But when you open the lid, it's still has the guts of the original icebox. Sentimental I guess.

[Rhino660]

Between thread one and the rest of the comments has brought back many great memories to us ole geezers as they were the good ole days and I'm sure we will never see them as good again. I still miss Howdy Doody and Mr. Bluster and my sweetheart Princess summer, fall, winter, spring.

[LilysDad]

...and Chief Thunder Thud.

Anyone remember a show with Andy Devine and Froggy?

[bblalocksr]

I don't want to say I'm old, but Sky King's daughter was named "Penny" and I had a huge crush on her.

I remember them all, and it seems like yesterday.

[Bolensbill]

Yes, I remember most of them. Ate jiffy pop while watching Wild Kingdom or Lassie, 15c burgers were great, still have lincoln logs and erector set somewhere in attic I'll bet! Dad smoked camels till the day he died and I think I married Chatty Cathy!talk,talk,talk!!:ROF :ROF :hide: Great memories, life was so muck simpiler then. There are days I wish they were back.

[dueces62]

We were talking about those little stamp books for pro football the other day. Used to get stickers from the gas station and try to fill the card for each team.

[LilysDad]

Did any of you actually play Mumblety Peg?

[Lazy J]

:ditto: :ditto:

[draddogs]

I remember crusing Woodward Ave back in the early sixties in an old 55 chev Nomad wagon and crusing thru uptown drive in where the car hops were very delicious looking and gas at the full service pump was 15 cents and came with a jar of jelly and that was Sunoco 260 ..... Really I just heard the older boys talking about the old times, like my brother Argee........:ROF :ROF

Ernie, we know you are OLD..

[okieduc104]

Older..... I don't remember gas being down to $.15 but I do remember a lot of gas for $0.249 and the first 1955 Chevrolet I saw for real, two days after they arrived at the dealer.....

[draddogs]

Gee....... thanks Ken...... you took the wind from my sail :Disgus:

[Ken N Tx]

Gee....... thanks Ken...... you took the wind from my sail :Disgus:

:sidelaugh

[ar2stp48]

I admit I am old; I remember every one of those. What memories they bring back.

Lets see now.......I have a nice reel to reel deck in storage, the Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys are packed away, my Erector Set is stashed in the shop storage, a couple of books of S&H green stamps are in the flea market for sale box Does this explain why the wife says I could qualify as the Fred Sanford of Arkansas?

Thanks for sharing

That.............from my much older brother! It doesn't surprise me.....I want to apologize for him....his mind is pretty far gone. He was injured in a horse and buggie accident when he was a young man. He drools a lot now and wets himself so he has to wear a diaper. I visit him at the old folks home once every other year...but he doesn't remember.

Yeah!!! I thought Penny was pretty hot too! She was actually Sky King's teenaged niece. H'mmmmmm.....!
