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.

Lawn Darts

Slip n Slide (not the stripper)

The cool pistols that shot the little disc

$0.10 & $0.25 pay phones

Nickel condoms in men's rooms

Cigarette Dispensers EVERYWHERE

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.

Didn't see a "Sit-n-Spin" in there. BigWheel, or Erector sets.

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.
