HOW OLD ARE YOU?
My Dad was cleaning out my grandmother's house and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle.  In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it.  I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea.  She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something.  I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to "sprinkle" clothes with because we didn't have steam irons.  Man, I am old.
******************************************************
How Many Do You Remember??

Head lights dimmer switches on the floor Ignition switches on the dashboard Heaters mounted on the inside of the fire wall Real ice boxes [Ask your Mom about that] Pant leg clips for bicycles without chain guards.
Soldering irons you heat on a gas burner.
Using hand signals for cars without turn signals.

I got 6, and also remember the headlight dimmer switches being on the floor board.  But since that one doesn't count...

And I'm just 21.

I remember thinking that the Kodak flashcubes (with 4 little flash bulbs) was the coolest invention yet. Then Polaroid came along with their little 6 flash rig.

I missed only 5...and I'm sure that 2 of those were because I live in Canada. Smiley

Is that those little disposable flash things?  If so, then that gives me 7.  I wasn't sure if it meant the disposable type flashes or not.

of those, I remember "The Absent Minded Professor", which had flubber, and also the slip 'n slide.  My parents also still have one of the old radios like what people used to sit around listening to before T.V.  It even still works, and it can still pick up signals from around the world.
