Us old fogies all had record players!
Ever spin your records backwards?

I don't know about that, but I do remember sometimes playing some of my 33.3 (long-play) records on the wrong speed.

Heck no! I didn't care to hear all the "satanic messages" they use to say we'd hear if we did that.

I was the opposite!I just had to hear them for myself!

Remember when having 64 crayons made you the envy of the class?

Oh yeah! I finally got one of those in 4th grade. At last, I had silver and gold crayons for all the times I wanted to color something metal! The sharpener on the box was bonus!

Only the "rich" kids had those!

I haven't read the whole thread, so forgive me if y'all have already talked about this.

Anyone remember Fashion Plates? My kids' Wendys meals came with a toy that reminded me of them.

 

[Veiled Viper]

What were they?

 

[Missing]

Oouu, I loved fashion plates!

 

[CarrieAg93]

What were they?

They were plastic plates that had raised designs on them. They had different body sections in different clothes so you could mix and match. You put the parts together in a little holder thing and then laid a piece of paper over them and rubbed a crayon over it. Just like leaf rubbings. It was a girl thing so unless you had sisters you probably missed it.

We were in Toys-R-Us today... what a load of memories...

Lincoln Logs
Tinker Toys
Operation
Radio Flyer Wagon...

I can't wait until my son gets to play with stuff like that.

 

[ShiningSonBeam]

And I can't wait to see his daddy playing right along with him!

 

[catlover]

was the soft drink "Tab" still being used back then? That stuff was nasty, never did like that

I saw some Tab in the store the other day. Of course I did not buy it. Does anyone remember the T.V show "In Living Color?" Did anyone own a Pound Puppy?

I had a little mini Pound Puppy. I really wanted a regular sized one, but knew I was kinda old for that type of toy so didn't bother to ask Mom for one. Can't remember how I got the little one.
