Remember When

[bacali]

I never listened to radio shows.. I always remember having a television.. loved Howdy Doody.

[Merry Prankster]

Ah, Howdy Doody!  Did you watch the Lone Ranger and his sidekick Tonto?  BTW, if you get the chance catch Letterman around XMas.  Every year he has on a guest named Jay something or other who tells a really funny story about his experience w/the Lone Ranger (Clayton Moore).

A can't believe I missed this-----Jukebox with a bunch of 45s.  The classic ones are so cool.  did any of you ever go to a sock hop?

[Snowbird]

I loved going to sock hops.  We had a Youth Center in our town where we would go on Saturday nights and dance. 
There was a drug store on one corner where everybody hung out after school.  It was about seven blocks from my school so we would walk there.  I can still see that place.  As you came in there was the magazine racks on the right and the drug store section was passed that on the right.  On the left side of the store was the soda fountain and the booths with those little juke boxes on every table.   There was also a big juke box in the back.  A dime a play and three plays for a quarter. 

  Anniversary

That's great Snowbird!  I used to go to sock hops at a local high school.  We'd dance on the floor of the gym.  When I was a little shaver, an aspiring sock-hopper, there was a local TV show each Saturday called "Joe Dean's Sock Hop".  My older cousin appeared on it a couple of times.

Remember reading magazines like Jack and Jill and American Girl...

[Merry Prankster]

Hardy Boys!  Hardy Boys!  Hardy Boys!  I read every one of those suckers.  Read 'em until I was bleary-eyed.

[ponytail]

Nancy Drew! And I think i read a few Hardy Boys, too.

[bacali]

I always read Nancy Drew, also the Hardy Boys
And, I read all the Bobbsey Twins and Cherry Ames books, too.

Pez dispensers.  I used to love those things---so many crazy heads.  I vaguely remember some with the heads of Popeye characters.  The dispensers might still be around but I think they're not nearly as cool as they were back then.

I remember my "wicked cool" bike with the flowered banana seat, sissy bar, and tassels on the handlebars!

[Snowbird]

Remember those little wax bottles with different colored drinks in them.  You bit off the top and drank it but it was only a swallow. 
I use to love Bit-O-Honey candy.  Do they still make those?  Milk Duds was another favorite. 
Did anyone ever play spin the bottle?

YES!  I had forgotten about those bottles.  I vaguely remember some kind of flavored tablets that I could drop into a glass of water and they'd fizz and flavor the water.  Was it Pizz?  Behave yourself PD.

I think you can still get Bit O'Honey in some convenience stores in more rural ares.  My ex was a Bit O' Honey addict and she would stock up whenever we took a road trip and stopped for gas.

Tthe pills were called "Fizzies" and you can still find them.  Oh, I loved them! 

@Snow,I remember "spin the bottle" and "seven minutes in heaven."      Of course I never played them...............lol

Remember those huge Christmas lights with reflectors behind them, and finishing off your tree with lots of tinsel?

Yes! My grandmother had those on her Christmas tree every year! 

Remember TV dinners that came in those aluminum trays with the apple cobbler for dessert?
