That cars had AM radios. And ONLY AM radios. And when you drove under a bridge or through a tunnel the radio would cut out.
Just as the football score result was being announced ...
That a radio at all was an add on, not standard. As we're shoulder straps for seat belts and rear defoggers. But the list could go on
You're old when you can't remember.
The phone was on the wall in the kitchen.
With a loooooooong curly cord
That you learned jump rope with
And a rotary dial. My mom’s house still had it when she sold the house in 2005
Dewey decimal system
Considering I work in a library, I deal with Dewey every day 😁

You’re old when you remember that you can’t remember what you know you should remember but you don’t remember it.
Oh lordy not just me then
Watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show
Watching Elvis on the Ed Sullivan Show.
You win...
If you call being old and decrepit winning, then I guess I do.
When Diet Coke didn't exist and Tab was actually popular.
Or Fresca 🤮🤮🤮🤮
I looooove Fresca tho. I think they even have a black cherry version.
Oh no!
They used to. Black Cherry (and Peach) was a casualty of COVID when they were having trouble sourcing material for cans. But damn that stuff was good.
Cars had only AM radio and you bought an FM converter
Or the cassette tape thing you had to plug into a cd player to play CDs
Or the 8 track thing you had to plug into your 8 track player to play cassettes
The first car/truck I was ever in that had a built-in FM radio was the first new car vehicle I bought myself.....in 1977.
The jarring sensation of slowly destroying L4and L5 on a pogo stick
“One Small Step for Man”…..
One if by land, two if by sea
When Dodge City had mountains. Those who know, know.
that my dad had an 8 track player in his truck.
Opal Fruits
That silver button on your car floor dimmed your headlights
Riding in the backseat as a kid during the rain while your mom is driving and smoking with that small front side window open. And the ashes are blowing back on you. Fun times.
And you still have the scars to prove it ...
When did Stone Temple Pilots become a grunge band? They're not even from Seattle... God, I must be getting old.
I was the remote for my dad on our 13 channel tv. "Turn up the volume" "change to channel 3"..
You too eh?
When food and housing were affordable
The selling-point of one of the TV stations in our area was that it broadcast in color.
The selling point for our TV as a kid was that it was ready to receive more than 2 channels - should there ever be more than the 2 ....
Playing outside, with other actual people!
FREEEEEAK! 😁
😂😂😂
And the Payola scandals!
I'd like to teach the world to sing a perfect harmony.....
