I've got millions of them. And they are not all "get off my lawn" types, although admittedly, many are.

There was such a thing as regular gas.
Remember when you buy a bottle of Coca-Cola, Pepsi Cola, or RC Cola for a nickel? And they had real sugar in their ingredients, not high fructose corn syrup?

Remember when...
"near letter quality" was a 9-pin dot matrix printer setting. And letter quality was a 24-pin dot matrix printer.

Remember when....
Telephones were attached to the wall?
Yes! We had a retired guy who lived next door when I was growing up. He paid me to cut his grass and wash his cars, and he also gave me his bottles to return to the store. I made about $15/week from all that, which was a lot of money for a kid in the 70s.

Do you remember when you actually went to the local public library and withdrew an actual book made out of paper and the due date was marked on your library card?
MOLON LABE!
