I'm so old, I remember the 1st generation iPod Touch.
Before that, I heard the iPod had a wheel on it and no apps. Talk about roughing it. Archaic times my friends...archaic times...
I'm so old, I remember coal laying along the RR tracks from steam engines.
I remember steam engines, too. It's always a treat to come across one on display somewhere. Then the diesel powered engines came along and they were known as "Streamliners".
I know it was a shampoo, but it sounds like a shoe polish.
It's a floor wax! It's a dessert topping! (I'm so old I remember that ...)

My mom said she and her brothers would walk along the tracks and collect the coal for their furnace. That story usually preceded and/or followed one of her "you don't know how good you have it" speeches, LOL.
I'm so old I remember when milk was delivered to you at your home - by horse and cart. Same with bread! They must have been the unhealthiest horses, because all the kids would surreptitiously feed them a carrot or sugar cube when the delivery man was too busy chatting with mum!

I remember when the the little man in a "white suit" and hat came to take you away........wait!, that was the milk man,.
We had dairy delivery at home, but not by horse and cart! We used to save the little cardboard tops from the gallon (glass) milk bottles, and when we saved enough of them we could use them for free rides at our local Kiddieland, a small amusement park. Fun times!
