Funny...some of those things are fairly recent. Like the AOL CD...that made me smile. I expected to see some really good stuff from the 60s or 70s. Fun list, though.

We still had "party lines" when we moved to Bailey in 1990!

Wait, Hi-C and butterfinger BB's don't exist anymore? I honestly had no idea. Funny list. Lots of nostalgia throughout.

I'm thinking...place Slip 'n Slides at strategic ingress points throughout the lawn. Embed Lawn Darts pointy-end up all around the Slip 'n Slides. Zombies enter lawn defensive area, lose footing on Slip 'n Slides and fall face-first on to lawn darts. Might also work for annoying neighborhood kids who like to trespass and Jehovah's Witnesses.

You can find the gun cigarettes at that retro candy store on Pearl St. in Boulder. I can remember, though vaguely, about 90% of that list. Ahhh good times!

You can still buy those. I just bought my neighbors kid a sit-n-spin a few month ago for his birthday.
