Fun from the past, do you remember when?

[3tbear]

People used to attach fake tiger tails to their gas tank on their cars. There used to be a gasoline ad "Put a Tiger in Your Tank".

How about those large keys that were magnetic that people put on the back of their Volkswagon Beetles?

How 'bout when hamburgers only cost 25 cents at McDonalds?


If you can remember any good ones, would love to hear them.

I remember when Coke was in a tall glass bottle. I loved those! I can remember my mom saying don't open that unless you are going to drink it all! We had those cheap plastic plunger looking things to keep in the fizz but it never worked!

I remember going to LJS and wearing one of those stupid paper pirate hats while I ate. I thought I was cool...lol Do they still have those?

I remember watching the very FIRST episode of Sesame Street. I think I was 5-years old. My mom said she read about a new show on PBS that was starting that day and suggested we watch it together. Fun, huh?
