Before CD players or walkmans, kids listened to transistor radios

Skating was the big Friday night date night thing to do

The grooviest couture for girls

Onsies? Really? Not. Thought. Through.

We complain about active shooter drills and how simple things were in the past, but in the really old days they were pretty sure an atomic bomb was going to fall on them at any given minute and this was how they were going to be saved.

I'm not sure what this is but I may need to change the rating for NSW?

CB and Ham Radios- that made you hip

This was a tv show

and these were penny candy (actually a penn)

And can you imagine the casinos lined with these?

School projectors had to start somewhere

Cutting grass was a huge chore

And this was a family tv fav

Most women sewed their clothes

And gym uniforms were cruel (so don't complain about yours being ugly)

Antennas were on every house

You spent your allowance on records and shopped with friends to make sure you didn't buy the same one. Everyone brought a stack to sleepovers and parties (can you imagine lugging these around)?

Um, yum?

Before internet, sales men went door to door to get you to buy a set- your parents were horrible and didn't care about your education if these weren't somewhere in your home

A necessity, I guess

The old chalk holders prevented the pieces from rolling away or falling on the floor and breaking

More cheap candy

Game shows were huge

And this

Playground equipment was scary

A&W was an actual restaurant

Arcades looked more like this

Twiggy was inspiring
