RIP Mr. Williams... you are and will be missed!

Me. I loved to listen to Genesis and Annie Lennox and follow the lyrics

I recently bought quite an expensive polaroid camera. It turns out that with a real camera, I take terrible pictures.

You remember how fast that "bubble gum" turned into a concrete like substance?

To be fair, we didn't have as much to look at.

I'm so much faster texting like that than on a smartphone!

As I've seen kids struggle with a mail box I fully expect them to believe you.

And still one of the best satires on TV.

Back when Pizza Hut was a dine-in restaurant

I remember when only ONE studio was named in the opening credits.

I wouldn't mind one now.

One hand and two paws raised over here.

These made for fun bath time toys, and the doctor waiting room was full of them (and Highlights magazines).

Until rhe cat figured out how to work it

And the dark shirts in the sun

I shudder just thinking about the noise. It was worse when the poster fell on your head.

And then you would pretend to shoot laser beams like Cyclops

I just heard Kevin Hart in Jumanji 2, "I'm gonna *whup* yo a*s!"

I immediately thought of that one Doctor Who episode

Let me tell you the tale of the glass salad bowl in the form of..salad leafs. Every adult (35-40yrs) household had them when I was a kid.... and when I became an adult I realized they just turn up in random 35 years old households. Noone ever bought them. Last month we went to a thrift store and there it was... Since I have no parents/grandparents I was compelled to buy it...So now, at 37 I too have a salad formed glass salad bowl.

My 22 year old son and I will still make one in the Living Room and watch some of our favorite movies while sitting in our "castle" fort!

That's a bit of a stretch. A meal was about $2.45 here in Canada

I dunno. My mom flipped out when I got home from the store for her because I thought there was enough money left over to buy myself a chocolate bar. That was a scary day for me, realizing one chocolate bar could send us to the poor house. She often said NO! a lot and much of our outings were either free or very cheap, and she fed us porridge and soup a lot.

To my ears, they rang like a bell when you bounced them.

Don't know the intended purpose, but they were great tactile resources for people with sensory needs- my brothers had them on their wheelchair trays.

The Wendy's near me still has this sunroom, but they got rid of the tables with the vintage newspaper ads, and it's kind of sad because now you can drive by and see that there's never anyone in the dining room.

I can smell this, I can hear this, I can feel this... and I'm not sure I like it

It's-- it's beautiful.

Now I use them to make pretty suncatchers

We still have it here Capture-66...16f84e.jpg

Aha! See! See! "Fancy!"

I cried when my first tamagotchi died. I had failed as a father. I was about 8.

How has the guy with the hat in the upper left corner not aged at all???

They still play that in schools.

New fear unlocked: The magic stool bus

Looks like the parents splurged for the rumble packs.

We still have them in sweden.

Still looks like this at my kids book fair where i volunteer

they were useless as pencils, but so fun.

Flexible pencils, felt pens that glittered, erasers that smelled like a whole strawberry field, teachers getting mad if you handed in your essay in purple ink, cute cartoons on the top of your notebook - what happened to all these nice touches? Today everything is just so "professional"...

I bought some the other day for the prize box at work- the kids will (hopefully) be extra good at packing up so they can earn them!

I had one of these and managed to break it 😐

Never heard of them but I want one!

Another one long before the 90s.

Me, too. Including my holographic slammer!

All left handers groaning at the memory

We sold these when I worked at Spencer Gifts back in the 90's. They only held about 6 ounces and they were made out of this rubberized plastic that made everything taste funny.

I don't know about that. I thought the watermelon flavor of Bubblicious was the bomb!

You can still buy them.

We could buy these at my grade school in the '70s for a quarter. The problem I had was getting the right cheese to cracker ratio. I'd usually put very little on the first two crackers, because I was afraid of running out of cheese. So the last two crackers would be absolutely smothered.

I always thought this was stupid.

I wanted that so much, but my grandma had the good sense to buy me one of those big, boxy tape recorders. I LOVED that thing! I recorded every episode of the A-Team, and would play it for the guys at school, the next morning. I actually found one of those old cassettes a while ago.

This picture sums up my dreams when I was 10.
