Do you remember? (another nostalgia thread)

[WannaWitness]

Do you remember when pop came in a glass bottle?

Gosh, those were the days!

Captain Kangaroo and Mr Green Jeans

Remember when it always rained ping-pong balls?

I even vaguely remember an episode involving a square ping-pong ball!

Also, I think there used to be this regular segment on the show involving a kid named Simon and his chalk drawings, and another segment involving toothbrush and toothpaste characters.

Well, hello, my name is Simon and I like to do Drawings...

I totally remember that and I LOVED it. It may have even influenced me to major in art.

Sometimes I'll buy Coca-Cola or Orange Crush in bottles just for old times sake. Nothing beats the taste of an ice cold pop from a glass bottle.

I remember a SNL skit from several years ago where they had the Brady Bunch, the Partridge Family, and the Fat Albert gang arguing over who had the best band. It was hilarious.

Remember the TV commercials for music collections you could order. You had your choice of LP record, 8-track, or cassette.

Remember the first Happy Meals? They were such a big deal. I remember the prize inside was really lame, like a sticker or something. Now the toys have batteries.

They didn't even put toys in happy meals around here. They threw in a pack of cookies for the prize instead.

The best prizes were in cereal boxes back then. Honeycombs had monster posters. Some even glowed in the dark. Pretty cool.

I never see prizes in cereal anymore.

I always loved the tattoos you got in Cracker Jack boxes.

Cracker Jacks used to have pretty cool prizes -- now, they seem to be mostly junk.

Remember reaching into the full cereal box and feeling through the cereal to get the prize?
