I remember when there were 3 sizes to a can of coffee--1 lb., 3 lbs. and 5 lbs. And they all opened with a key.

I remember those coffee cans too!!! These days, Maxwell House has changed theirs again with a totally unusable handle, and each time they change the containers, they get smaller!!! ARGH!!!!!!

I'm so old I remember... Clorox in the 1 gallon brown glass jug..
Speaking about coffee and other metal containers you opened either with a manual can opener or that key and tab.
And for Halloween the paper mach`e Jack-O-Lantern... with the cheap black string.

I remember putting a Q-tip in my ear and it didn't bend. Perhaps the paper stem was thicker. I hate the blue stemmed ones.

I remember when the madras shirt was popular in high school. Only converse sneakers and levi jeans could be worn with this.

I remember when "Speedee" was McDonalds mascot. Not Ronald McDonald.

I think I was only making $1.75 and hour part-time maybe 20 hours a week in 1967. I remember paying 25 cents for a pack of smokes. Gas was 25 cents per gallon. A hamburger was 25 cents. Five snicker bars were 25 cents. Bread was 25 cents a loaf for the cheap stuff. Wonder was probably 50 cents. A bus ride was 25 cents including transfer. $2500. could get you a real nice car and $25K would buy you a decent house.

I remember the night Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. DH, the kids and I sat outside in lawn chairs looking at the moon. This night is the earliest memory of my youngest son.

RIP Neil. You are the Christopher Columbus of your day and will be remembered the same way.

I remember when Q-tips had wooden sticks, not the rolled paper ones.

I remember when Krystal burgers were a nickle. I remember the "French Fry Guys" at McDonalds, and the slogan on tv was that you could get a burger, fries and a coke and still get change back from your dollar.
Our tv was black and white in a huge cabinet, and the screen was a circle. I used to pretend that I was looking through a porthole into another world where there were no colors. And I loved watching "Romper Room" with Miss Penny, who could see you through her magic mirror and knew when it was your birthday.

I remember when Mom would buy maple syrup in a square metal can that was in the shape of a log cabin.
