Do you remember? (another nostalgia thread)

[JPPT1974]

Bionic Dog? Never heard of such a thing!
Sorry!

Do you remember how much gas cost the first time you bought it after you got your driver's licsense? It was $0.64/gallon in Huntsville, Alabama in the winter of 1983.

 

[JPPT1974]

Too bad that we can't live back in the 80's?
Oh those were the good ole days!

 

[WannaWitness]

Remember the Monchichi dolls?

Tom & Jerry weekdays on TBS?

Tom & Jerry weekdays on TBS?

I remember Tom & Jerry cartoons being a big part of my Saturday morning viewings when I was young.

Another old ad:

"A sandwich is a sandwich, but a MANWICH is a MEAL!"

 

[WannaWitness]

Remember the old McDonald's commercial with the young girl at a girls' camp writing a letter to home on a rainy day, then the campers all rode the bus to McDonald's to eat lunch.

And the one with girl at her piano recital, moaning to herself about how glad she'd be when she was done.

 

[JPPT1974]

Oh that commercial is so cute and funny of that girl & her piano recitial!

 

[MadFingerPainter]

We can be nostalgic about anything?

 

[WannaWitness]

Remember when Lucky Charms only had the five shapes: hearts, moons, clovers, diamonds, and stars?

 

[KnowBeDo]

I remember when they only had four... The Blue Diamonds came later.

I remember when they only had four... The Blue Diamonds came later.

Hmmmm, that's interesting. Now they have rainbows, horseshoes, and pots of gold.

And speaking of cereals:

"Silly Rabbit, Trix are for KIDS!"

And who doesn't remember lifting their cereal bowls to their ear to hear their Rice Krispies "talk" to them: "Snap!" "Crackle!" "Pop!"

Memories, memories, memories....

 

[MadFingerPainter]

Anyone remember growing up Skipper? ~Heh~

 

[JPPT1974]

Remember Sonny from the Coco Puffs commercials?
Very funny indeed!

Oh, YES!!!

And I guess we all remember the whole Cabbage Patch Kids craze!

 

[JPPT1974]

Oh, YES!!!

And I guess we all remember the whole Cabbage Patch Kids craze!

Seemed as though everybody had to have cabbage patch kids you know!!

I never had an authentic one.

What I did have, however, was a handmade doll, and one of the Parker Brothers CPK storybooks entitled "The Shyest Kid in the Patch". I loved that book, because the main character was like me at the time.

Then a few years later, Topps Bubble Gum came up with a parody: Garbage Pail Kids. Those were kind of sick, now that I look back.

I love this thread!!

I have a few-okay maybe more than a few..

Did anyone watch this short-lived tv show called "Other World". Similar concept to "Land of the Lost" except that the people were clones or robots or something?

Arid extra dry commercial- get a little closer....

Parkay, Butter, Parkay, Butter

Dukes of Hazzard theme song- watched it a few weeks ago

The Y in the New York token

Slinky commercials- fun for a girl or a boy

Dungeons and Dragons the cartoon

Growing Pains with my biggest tv crush- Kirk Cameron (he is a Believer now, too.)

And, although I was little- I was obsessed with Dynasty....

Reading this thread brought back a lot of memories for me.

Maybe this was mentioned before but does anyone remember collecting the Legos that came with the McDonalds Happy Meals?
