16oz returnable glass soft drink bottles.

Been getting the 355ml glass Cokes and Fantas(with sugar!) from Mexico for awhile, but recently tried a new Mexican restaurant and they brought me out a 500ml Coke that I am pretty sure is the same as the old 16oz Come returnables....not as curvy.

Of course these days even if cars did need more regular check ups, the facebook will still need an update/ selfie from the attendant and who can check oil one handed!?

I get where you were coming from. It just hit me as I was replying why we don't need that kind of gas station service!

Yea... Atlantic City...it's headed right back to where it was in the 70s

Found it!

Cartoon booths. Looked a lot like photo booths, but instead of getting your picture taken, get inside and sit down to a cartoon. The only ones I recall were Walt Lantz.

Cars that are simple to work on.
Packaging that doesn't require C4 to open.

They would x-ray my feet as a little kid when trying on shoes. Bad news for the shoe sales person getting a steady dose of radiation.

I miss High School students actually eating in the school cafeteria and not descending on Chick-fil-A like a Mongol horde at lunchtime.

It's not the wait time (I use the app and order ahead) however, who wants to be in a crowded parking lot with a bunch of teenage drivers?

-Soda in glass bottles at the gas station.
-Kang-A-Roo tennis shoes. Simply called Roos.
-Handling up on the school bully behind the dumpster and the school admin understanding, that is how boys work out their energy.
-$.69 cent a pack of 22 LR ammo.
-3 packs of Tops baseball cards for $.99
-MacGyver
-Falcon Crest
-MTV playing music videos.
-Farms that still had dirty fence rows.

Just my innocence in general. Adulting/Parenting is such a drag sometimes. Work,pay bills, trying to raise a son to be in line, another pet human on the way...I just want to back to wanting to see a naked woman for the first time in a Hustler Mag.
