Remember when...

Whatever happened to Sugar Bear? For an animated cereal mascot, he was pretty cool...
So cool, he wore a turtleneck sweater with no pants.
Regards, GF.

anything with the name "sugar" was determined to be deathly evil

Super Sugar Crisp, the cereal pimped by Sugar Bear became Golden Crisp

I had to look it up on Wikipedia. Sugar Crips still exist in Canada.

Consumer Reports says the cereal is 50% sugar by weight. The rest is torrified wheat.

He changed his name to Huggie Bear and ended up on Starsky & Hutch.

Remember when, if someone had a "scanner" available it was probably either an EMS scanner or CB scanner ... not a computer scanner.
(yep, just called on one of those. Don't need another one ... I've got 4 ripening in the basement already).

Remember when you had to buy 'crystals' for your scanner to be able to get certain channels? Good times.

A bit before my time, but ...
What did it mean when you came home from school in warm weather and saw on the ground a line of water going up the street, punctuated by periodic puddles??

Anyone?

They were flushing the water lines... Or kids playing in the sprinklers....

Remember when cars didn't come with seatbelts, passenger mirrors or radios that had even heard of FM, but did use a bumper jack?
Frigidaire electric stoves had fat coils when everyone else had skinny ones?
GE Refrigerators had a lazy susan built into them?

 

[Marc77]

Remember when the turn signal was just a turn signal? Not a cruise control, wind shield wipers and turn signal all in one?

Remember when there was a button to the left of the brake and that was how you turned your brights on and off?

Remember when if you had an 8 track player in your car you were cool?

Last one....remember when cars were made of...real metal?!?

That's the one. The man wins a cigar.

Speaking of automobiles and lazy susans ... we got an Odyssey minivan for the Better Half ... it has a lazy susan built into a hatch the floor. Literally! About 2 feet across and spins and everything ... keep yer sushi in there or something. Shouldn't be surprized tho ... one of honda's other vehicles used to come with a picnic table. (the cr-v)

It's a State law in Utah.

I remember when bringing knives and guns to school was no big deal at all, at least in NH it wasn't.

 

[Homercidal]

The young one had no idea what I was doing when I made the Bionic Man sound effect last night, so I pulled up the old YouTube and played the intro for her. Then a few quick clips of him doing his thing, complete with sound effects.

Then we watched 57 commercials from 1977...

Peter Paul Almond Joy's got nuts. Peter Paul Mounds don't.

I remember we used to think there was something wrong with a boy who didn't carry a pocketknife EVERYWHERE. Used to be a common sight in highschool to see gun racks in pickups, with rifles and/or shotguns in them. Nobody threatened anybody & nobody stole them.
Regards, GF.

^^^Yuppers, GF...I STILL carry a pocket knife almost everywhere I go...except onto airplanes!

Although I grew up in NYC (and some people carries guns for different reasons...). In most other places, having a gun/s in your truck didn't make you a psycho. I'd be surprised if you could fart in school and not have it be a bio hazard today.
(Couldn't read through 77 pages of comments.) Cigs .65/pack, beer (Bud) about the same/qt. My neighbor across the street (before he died) said he put a $10 deposit down on his house. Now worth about $300K.

You knew the Bionic Man was moving fast because he was in slow motion.

Bring-your-gun-to-school day at Speech Class for your "demonstration speech" .... If by the end of High School you did not know how to disassemble a shotgun and clean it, and also p-tex and wax skis, there was something wrong with you.

Man that's the best. A real period piece.
Hadji the "dusky hindoo", and Jonny Quest - who I now realize looks like Justin Bieber!

When I was a kid,I had the Give a Show projector set. It had Johnny Quest slides,flintstones,etc. Wish I still had it now.

This one chaps my ass:

Remember when a friggin' newspaper cost 25c?!?! I noticed the other day they want a buck and a half for the DAILY paper, not the Sunday one!!

(Sunday papers only cost 50c back then too!!!)

It took two hands to take a selfie.

 

[Beergnomes]

Gas was $.85 a gallon

It was socially acceptable to wear these in public.

Slap bracelets were cool until they disappeared after becoming a cutting hazard.

Let's hear about your childhood / glory days memories.

Now that's a stretch, I'm having a hard time remembering when that was ever acceptable. Oyvey, and if it were, the horror, they say all fashion comes back around!

 

[gratus fermentatio]

I remember when I was a kid, it was a special treat when we'd drive over to Three Oaks to buy meat at Drier's:
http://www.driers.com/

We'd always get sausages & "tub" cheese, and shaved ham. When we got home, we'd pile that shaved ham high on a toasted kaiser roll & pop it in the oven to melt the cheese right before eating.

I'm not affilliated with Drier's, but if they still turn out the same quality of meats & cheeses they did 45 years ago, it's worth an hour's drive to get there.
Regards, GF.

Yep, if they didn't make you dump it (aka "plant it") and instead confiscated it but did not write you, you know what they were doing after work that day.

When I was growing up as a teenager and going to "keggers" (does anyone do this anymore), if we were busted the police would just take our beer and drink it on sunday at the volunteer fire department. Damn I miss those keggers where everyone would decide on a backroad to party on and just have fun.......
