You know your old when ...

-- You remember what a mimeograph machine was ...

-- You know who played "My Little Margie" ...

-- You remember when a glass bottle of Coke went from 5 to 10 cents in a vending machine ...

-- You know how to dance The Twist

Okay it's now you're turn ...

You Know You're Old When ...

You look forward to a dull evening at home.
You remember .25cent/gallon gasoline.
When your medicine cabinet starts getting crowded.

YouTube - ‪SERGEANT PRESTON OF THE YUKON TV OPENING‬‏

And on radio (tv you didn't have to watch) all the way back to 1938!

PS

Gas was 19 cents a gallon! and my medicine cabinet only had BC Powder in it!

You remember the 1970s as the greatest decade ever for one very simple reason;


It was after The Pill and before AIDS.
