Name Something You Grew Up With That Is Gone & Not Coming Back

Here's one nobody has mentioned:

The Disney movie "Song of the South".

Go ahead: Try to find it to purchase, rent, stream, or whatever.

Unless I'm mistaken you can't view it for love or money.

I suspect if it hasn't happened already, every copy and master of this movie will eventually be made to disappear.

EDITED TO ADD: I was corrected on another forum. Apparently you can find it online now. I remember searching for it several years ago and there was an outcry that the PC crowd had made it virtually disappear.

Same thing with half of the Bugs Bunny cartoons....

Same thing with Tom and Jerry. We have the CD collection and at the beginning of the shows there is a disclaimer on how wrong some of the things depicted in the cartoons are. We still laugh our heads off at the cartoons....

Hopefully Disney never makes Splash Mountain disappear, that would be a very sad day.

I second Cap Guns, I know it dates me as old as f@#$. But we had a blast as kids blowing off caps in our pistols until we were old enough to graduate to BB guns Now a days a kid will get suspended for wearing a cowboy shirt with pistols proudly displayed in their hands.

That's rough. Was this years after you were no longer together?

I opened the obituaries the other day and saw a girl who rode the school bus with me when we were in elementary school and junior high. She had died of multiple myeloma. She was a year older than me.

Snacks made with real sugar.

I look for Mexican Coca Cola & Fanta along with Mt. Dew and Ski in glass bottles for that reason.

Riding around town in the back of pickup trucks

Got in on that.

What may be the ultimate version was when a couple of friends (8 to 10 years old at the time) visited their Grandpa who had just retired and was about to move from northern Indiana to southern Kentucky. Part of the move was a stack of 16' corrugated sheet metal panels which went in the back of a pick up which their Grandpa had them sit on to weigh it down so as not to lose any. They said between the weight of the metal squatting the truck down and the length overhanging the rear it was like looking down a ramp to the asphalt.
