1.
Why cancel stuff that people like? Time to bring these gems back! -
2.
AMC Pacer. Why not bring this car back? It can only be improved. A symbol of the working class poor. The rear window was sloped and heated for your convenience while pushing it home. -
3.
Parachute pants. Every rocker in America owned a pair, then the sudden fire sale, and you probably owned several dozen when they were selling for 5 for 10 bucks, or as many as you can drag away. -
4.
Pepsi Blue. A berryish tasting soda to compete with Vanilla coke for some crazy reason. Still, it wasn't too bad. -
5.
Outdoor pick-up games. While every child is getting rickets in their parent's basement playing X-Box, in the old days kids would play until their was no sun left, and then play with the remaining twilight. -
6.
I found this at Goodwill. EXCELLENT! Pull the rip cord, and launch both cars at each other in a double suicide attempt. -
7.
Squirt gum. That weird feeling when a sudden gel explodes in your mouth was really for adults only. -
8.
Banana seat bikes with ball-splicing shifter in the middle! Every boy knew the risks, and taunted sterility anyway. Arms wide apart? Legs apart? Going fast? Sudden stop? No problem. -
9.
My title that I cannot delete. Enjoy! -
10.
Weeble-Woobles. They didn't do much, but they were fun because they didn't fall down. -
11.
Choco Crunch. The Chocoberry monster was just an excuse to promote more sugar to a sugar cereal. Doesn't matter. Every kid dumped the whole box in a salad bowl and killed it in one sitting. -
12.
Fisher Price toys. They had this one, a fire station, and a parking ramp. All blue collar toys so your kids don't get any funny ideas about ever being rich and successful. -
13.
Best product McDonalds ever made. You suffer 3rd degree burns one time, and you never forgot to wait 2 hours before trying to eat this delicious treat from the heavens. -
14.
Bermuda Triangle Game. Angry-board-flipping-run-off-crying fun! Every time you were one step away from making it to port, the giant cloud would suck up your boat and dump you off at the beginning. -
15.
Another way to make the milk part of the fun. Most just plowed through the cereal just to drink a whole bowl of strawberry milk. -
16.
Dads. Remember dads? They were the leaders and everyone followed along? They weren't fat incompetent losers like we see on t.v. today. They worked their butts off, gave good advice, loved their kids, now everyone seems to know better than dad. -
17.
The Dark Tower. A L.O.T.R. rip off that didn't need to pay royalties. The electronic keypad and L.E.D. response was cutting edge at the time. A truly awesome game, and you can play the electronic version online, but not as fun as the real thing. -
18.
Like eating a box of zoo cookies in milk, but so good on a Saturday morning watching cartoons. -
19.
The Gilbert Burger. Burger King made Green Bay Packer, 350lbs monster, his own Whopper back in the 90s. Each value meal should come with a stomach pump because the last french fry you force down your throat was shaking in your hand for almost a minute. -
20.
School Gun Clubs. Students kept them in their locker, and if you forgot to bring it for practice, the principal made you march right back home and get it! Remember when the Constitution was legal? Not anymore! -
21.
Koogle bread spread. This choco-peanut butter spread was like pure blue meth to kids at the time. -
22.
Lawn Darts. 1 percent of it was used to aim them into a plastic hoop, the other 99 percent was seeing how close you could get to impaling someone through the skull. -
23.
Caramel covered in chocolate. The American Dental Association BEGGED them to keep this product for all the cavities and pulled fillings they profited from, but to no avail, it was yanked. -
24.
Metal lunch boxes. Like Gucci handbags for women, these were the talk of lunch time. Back in the old days, parents packed lunches and cared about their kids. Now they eat government slop, and everyone complains about it. -
25.
At the time, this small box was like 4 bucks, but man-o-man was it good! Just a little sweet, and the soggier the better. Lack of public interest was Post's excuse for discontinuing this product. -
26.
A non-Lego Millenium Falcon! The Mercedes Benz of all kid toys back in the early 80s. Every boy who had one was Mr. Nope. He just gloated and played with it at recess zooming around in everyone's face. Hey can I play with it too! -No! You'll break it!
