Lol oh the memories!
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
We still had "party lines" when we moved to Bailey in 1990!
When the zombies come you'll wish you had lawn darts!Quote:

Wait, Hi-C and butterfinger BB's don't exist anymore? I honestly had no idea. Funny list. Lots of nostalgia throughout.
I do, they're just repackaged in to 12ga delivery systems:)Quote:

Might also work for annoying neighborhood kids who like to trespass and Jehovah's Witnesses.Quote:

But that laser tag game, I got to play with a much cooler version:

Remember the candy cigarettes!?
Oh, man. I smoked like two packs a day when I was a kid.Quote:

5 cent 3 foot licorice ,,those wind up Evil Knivel toys,,45 cent gas
Didn't see a "Sit-n-Spin" in there. BigWheel, or Erector sets.
Yeah, I figure "Free American" will be on that list soon.Quote:

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