Remember When

Remember when you could buy a good book for about 95 cents?

Remember when you could go fishing and not have to worry that the fish were full of mercury or other pollutants?

Remember when records also came in 78s?

[WannaWitness]

Remember "Hubba Bubba" bubble gum (where you could blow "amazing no-stick bubbles")? And the Heath candy bar ad posing the question: "Where do you hide to have your Heath?" And "Wacky Wall Walkers"? (Ah, all these '80s memories)......

 

[Daughter of His]

remember when people helped you right away when you went into a business place instead of finishing up their personal phone call first

Remember the Y2K bug?

 

[Daughter of His]

Remember the Y2K bug?

Yeah; how everyone was running scared, thinking once the clock struck twelve, there'd be a total blackout. Just turned out that there wasn't!!

I remember when only the corner dairies and one or two garages were open at the weekend. 9 pm on Friday was the signal for no more shopping till 9 am on Monday.

Michael Jordan played basketball.

 

[Rich48]

Yes, and I can remember the teacher keeping a chart in school asking if you went to Sunday School!

Remember when everyone got all dressed up for church?

 

[joyshirley]

Yes, I remember, Rich. We had a special pair of shoes each that we only wore to church and nowhere else, plus 'best' clothes too, just for church. My brother, aged 5 at the time, used to wear a tie to church! And all the adults always wore hats.
