There is a big advantage to paper catalogs. You can browse through them without having to know ahead of time what you might want. In a paper catalog, you often come across something you weren't even thinking about, i.e. "Oh look, that little tchotchke would look perfect on mom's desk", or "wow, that's a great price for that tool . It would be great to add to my toolbox." Lots of the old stuff had advantages that modern kids can't even imagine.

Ahem... Ballantine strove to recreate English Ales. Brewers in England from their beginnings right on through the beginning of the 20th century didn't very often name their beers. The breweries used letter designations and one of the commonly adopted designations was the X ale. The X's stood for "mild ale" with X being the lowest ABV in the portfolio followed by XX, XXX and even up to XXXX which was a very strong beer. It's not a name that Ballantine just threw out there and it "stuck". They chose it for a definite purpose.

I have pleasant memories of the drive-in our area, in Kalamazoo, close by the Douglas Drive-In was as factory that processed peppermint, and it was always in the air there
I miss the TV guide, drive-ins and the arcade! I wish I would have kept my walkman and pager. My parents STILL read the paper at breakfast. They are in their late 80s and Im lucky to still have them and their attic full of memories.
The changes to Twinkies and Hersheys was so disappointing to me. They were my favorites and it was very noticeable when they changed the recipe. All the Hostess cakes used to be really good.
The Electric Company created two scanimated characters that bared very strong resemblances to Gloop and Gleep except that they spoke instead of mumbled. One was about Should, Could & Would while the other was about the word Was.
