Yep. I remember hearing that those had a tendency to rust out in the Northeast.

I also remember the first digital watches that used LEDs. Then the LCD watches came years later.

...and now I wear a computer on my wrist.

Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs, Erector Sets, Chemistry Sets, and these guys were hours of fun:

Getting pulled over for potential drunkenness, would result in them asking you . Is there anyone we can call to come pick you up.

Telescoping car antennas.

Riding motorcycles was considered dangerous and unprotected Sex was safe ;) .

Both biological parents at a parent / teacher conference.

I was too cool when I got my first “portable” cell phone. It came in a shoulder bag the size of carry-on luggage. It weighed a ton, I think the battery was the size of a motorcycle battery. And the only thing it did was make and receive calls. But at least I could finally give up my pager.

Seems like the late 90?s the war on smoking went into full gear and all this stuff started to disappear.

Yeah, me too. But I haven't really been shopping around for candy much in 30 years. I do see "big league chew" on the shelves at gas stations though.

The headlight dimmer switch. Yes, they would rust out in the NE.

Is 3 on the tree still a thing anymore? I learned to drive in my dad's beat up Dodge with 3 on the tree and no 1st gear. LOL I think I gave him whiplash from all the jerking and stopping.

Air Force memories:
Ashtray next to your PC on your desk.
No Internet.
Grabbing your cigs and ashtray to go to a meeting.
Commander buying a keg for the monthly porch party in front of the building.
Airmen doing all the yard work and custodian services around the building.
Annual 1.5 mile downhill jog for qualification.
Ability to openly call each other faggot.
