Are You Old?

[g5000]

Remember dime pay toilets?

Remember 45 records? Do you remember what the 45 means?

Did you buy soda for a nickel?

Did you pay double-digit/gallon for gas?

Remember Jarts with the sharp metal tips?

Remember the Tonka dump truck an elephant could step on?

"I bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and...." complete the sentence.

I have not joined the AARP. Don't see the point.

I remember what all that sand you see on the beaches were still boulders.

I did have one of those Tonka trucks. It was awesome.
Gas was 1.12 my first fill up at 16. One of the best days of my life.

That's another thing. I could not wait to get my driver's license at 16. Today, my kids are in no hurry to get a license. They are too busy Snapchatting and Instagramming.

Gas was around 72¢ a gallon when I was working in a full service station in the late 90's. It was cheaper at the other stations in the area, but only by a couple pennies.

72 cents? Bullshit. Where did you live?

No one remembers the Enjoli commercial???

I bring home the bacon
Fry it up in a pan
And never...

Or move out of the house.
I couldnt wait to get my license,get a job and move in to my own place.
A lot of kids these days have zero ambition.

It's just about time to start charging mine rent.

Bench seats in cars. So your gal could sit next to you while you drove. Without seat belts.

I still remember how pissed we all were when those annoying buzzers for seatbelts were put in cars.

Once they hit 18 they pay rent or live on the street.
I would make an exception if they were going to college and making decent grades.

I absolutely hate bench seats!!!
If you're not strapped in you can easily slide out of the drivers seat in a hard left turn.

Good lord, curse my chonky fingers. That was supposed to be a 92¢. I live(d) in the sticks of the Rest Belt with a pretty low cost of living rate.

Three TV networks. Sometimes you could get a UHF channel if you jiggled the antenna just right.

Pull tabs on soda and beer cans. Or else you had to use one of those triangular can opener things.

I want to buy the world a Coke and keep it company...
