Yes it is!

I remember trying to get the chocolate out of the paper was a challenge. More than once I ended up chewing soggy bits of paper.

Used for chips/crisps. My Aunty still uses hers every family get together.

I do...

And the salesman owned a Dodge and a house, had a ditsy wife, fun daughter and loser son? No, can't recall.

push pops were the best!

Ohh. This is the best. I love those. And in the original packaging. In those brittle cardboards. How lovely. I got some from my mother in law. She had frosted ones. Icicles and cones. Nobody else wanted them. I will bequeth them to my daughter who also loves oldfashioned baubles.

Blenders haven’t evolved much, really.

One of the mint one smelled and tasted like toilet bowl cleaner.

I even had one with a 78 marking

Mine had 33 and 45 and that plastic adapter then went in the middle of needed. Never seen a 16 though.

The best sound.

I know what it is, but as I only ever possessed two pieces of vinyl, I never had a use for it!

Considering vinyl records are currently outselling CDs, this is not old anymore.

8, 16, 33, 45 & 78

I never personally had one of these, but I worked at Goodwill, so I know what they look like

I know what this is and I am only 40. Don't assume that someone born in one era wouldn't know about/enjoy things from an earlier era.

Still have a working one, and over 200 vinyl albums. We listen a lot.

Or (!) you are 16 and into buying records which is a thing again.

I still have one lol with a 78 on it too.

LOL

Missing 75rpm

I used to have some of those.

Guilty as charged! When the gramophone jumped, I thought you could thump it like we did with the TV!

Oh, and the little plastic thing you put on to play 45’s!

=-)

16?

Dnt kno wat it is

I never found out what needed to be played at 16.

What in the HELL is '16'? Where's '78'?

You're only as old as the woman you feel you are. I must be as old as dirt because I know what it is. Feel 26 instead of my 59.

THEN I'M OLD.. MINE HAD A 78 ON IT, TOO

Yes! I'm old as dirt!!!

Grandpa's were cylinders. Beats me what speed, but he had to crank that puppy. Also had a huge horn I always wanted to shout through. No touchie!

f@#k

If it allowed 78s its old school

We had one as a unit set, record player, radio stereo set and television, built into a 300pound solid carved wood, built by Sony.

Mine only has 33 and 45

I guess I'm older than dirt because mine sit in a piece of furniture where once a Television also sat in but is now turned into a spot where the cats can lay in.

16 rpm???

Is 41 old as dirt? I always enjoyed making them sound like chipmunks.

Never seen a 16 rpm - How long ago was that?

The 16 is definitely before my time (I'm almost 59), so replace that with a 78 and that's my childhood. Used to do what all kids did, of course, and play the 33s at 45 (or vice versa if you could, I was scared to break the needle) for a good giggle. Today, my adult autistic son (35) plays with the YouTube controls to make any song sound like The Chipmunks. The circle of life in all its glory, lol! At least he shares my love of music.

Licorice pizza baby!

Not only still a thing, more of a thing than at any point since the 1980s.

What is this

Sitting next to a big shelf of vinyl as I type this!
