I remember when gas was under 30 cents per gallon. And they pumped it for you while washing the windows.

Wow, I don't know if I remember gas being that cheap, but I do remember my mom would go to a gas station w/a sign that said, "we will glad pump gas for ladies"... oh how I wish the gas station was still a full service station

I remember when you could order a sandwich at a café and get potato chips with it for free. Now they upped the price of the sandwich and they force you to take the french fries,,,,,, “NO” we don’t have no stinkin’ chips sir. And if you don’t like eating here ,,,,,,, go down the street.

Could I get a slice of pickle with that sandwich?

I remember when the operator could make an emergency breakthrough on your phone call.

When Cabbage Patch dolls first came out.

When Hot Wheels were brand new.

When the first pocket calculators hit the market.

I'm so old I remember when Hostess Twinkies were good.

I remember school paper drives in the 50's. We were either the red or blue team, the grades were divided into two teams. Luckily I usually was on the team that brought in the most newspapers. The prize was a little container of ice cream with a small wooden spoon.
