FUN things in life you don't see anymore.......

[LibertyWeeps]

Just simple little perks of being in a country like America................



Many of these were unexpected, but fun none the less.



Prizes in the box of Cracker Jack.

Prizes in the bottom of your cereal box.

Free gifts for buying a full tank of gas.

Free dish towels in your box of laundry detergent.

Door prizes at department stores and grocery stores for customer of the month, or customer who spent the most money shopping that day, or etc....

Lifetime supplies of gifts for "The One Millionth Customer", or new kitchen appliances

Free cookies or candy for kids

Small gifts for kids at some restaurants when kids were very well behaved

Sweepstakes for things people needed......cars, appliances, years supply of food, new house, new trailer house.....

Free set of dishes for buying so many groceries
Free set of silverware or fancy glasses for buying so many packs of cigarettes
Free S&H Greenstamps for buying certain items

There's so much greed and corruption nowadays, nobody does this anymore. It's all about which company can price gouge us the most, for the most cheapest garbage made in China.

A man drives into a Gas Station and sees a big sign

FREE SEX WITH FILL UP

So he asks the owner what the deal is and he says…..I am thinking of a number between one and ten. If you guess the right number, you win free sex.

So he fills up and then tells the owner…..Ummm. THREE! The owner says, you were close, I was thinking of four

So a couple days later, he comes back and fills up and then goes to the owner and says……..SEVEN! The owner says, you were so close, the number was six.

A couple days later , he comes back with a friend and fills up and goes the owner…..NINE! The owner says, you were close, the number was eight.

So his friend tells him….You are so stupid, nobody ever wins that contest.

The guy says….Shows what you know, my wife won three times last week.

miss riding in the back of a pickup truck. Sure seemed fun and nobody seemed to care.. guess its probably for the best though and the way people drive today it would be even worse.

If you were fortunate enough to have a Subaru Brat, it had two belted seats in the bed.

Loved this!

We had a stop sign next to the house, and sometimes when there was enough snow on the street, when cars came to a stop, we would run out and grab the back bumper for a free ride down the block.

We called it bumper sledding.

Some call it "skitching" I guess.

I would hope more for something like this ... but for me it was just the back of an F150 and looking for scrap metal

Our drive-in theater had a small amusement park for little ones, and sometimes live bands would perform before it was dark enough for the shows to begin.

Used to have a Drive-in couple blocks away. You could see some of the show until the trees got too tall

Before the event of the internet... music seemed to be everything for kids.
