I'm not dirt-aged yet with 12 out of 25 hits.

But I do remember ...

Pogo sticks, Wham-O frisbees and Jarts..

Apple flavored Pixie Stixs (brightly colored paper straws filled with delicious, flavored sugar) - what were our parents thinking?

Candy cigarettes, anyone? Lucky Strikes were my favorite - what were our parents thinking?

Have you every used a rotary dial telephone, or changed the TV channel on a dial?

Ever flown on Pan Am airlines?

Have you ever jump-started a car by rolling down a hill and popping the clutch?

I got 16. Yikes.

In fact, I was just talking about mimeograph machines yesterday! The solvent smelled great!

Somehow, my baby boy knows that the thing in the picture with a rotary dial is a phone -- even though he's never seen one in real life, and probably never will.

My dad used to put his lighter up to the end of our candy cigarettes and pretend to light them while they were in our mouths. Cool, eh?

Yeah, used to get this too!! Amazingly enough the old man is now 70 and as active as ever, despite at least a pack a day and the ususal cocktail or two in the evening...

I must be very, very old because I got 25 and there are only 24 items listed.
Where's item number 3?
