SO GLAD I tripped onto this channel! I don't care WHAT today's kids have; Gen X grew up with the best of both worlds. We knew how to use stuff older than we were, and technology was just taking off with our generation. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks a lot for sharing your wonderful collection with us! There were so many items you showed that brought back a whole slew of good memories. I'll check out all of your videos.
I had a calculator something like the one you have except my was in the shape of an owl. If you got the answer right ....the green light ( eye ) would come on. If you got the answer wrong a red light ( eye ) would come on. I was just telling my grandkids about that the other day. I'll have to share this video with them. So neat...!! ❤🦉❤ I love all of these things. Brings back memories.
You can still get multi-colored pens can be found a lot in store likes Walmart or the Dollar Store. I have tons of them. Same for Scratch 'n Sniff stickers. Those are especially popular in stores like Asian markets that sell anime stuff. Uwijamaya in Sattle/Portland has sooo many varieties of scents.
The cassette recorder at the start of the video - I found two just like that at a yard sale. Both needed fixing. So I fixed them. Gave one to Dad, kept the other. Played music, didn't record much but sometimes. They weren't the best audio equipment but decent for some fun and background music.
I would have a field day talking to this guy. I remember everything and had everything he has mentioned in his videos except for all the cars he mentioned. Here are a few I thought of myself. s&h green stamps Arthur Treachers Fish & Chips The Barefoot Mailman (Now Spencer's Gift Shop) Lionel Playworld Hubba Bubba gum Buster Brown Shoes Dentine Dynamites (Same as tic tacs) Big League Chew Koogle peanut butter I could go on and on. One of my favorite memories is the cheap Halloween costumes made of some cheap nylon or something like that. They would be ripped in the back by the end of the night and the back of your ear was red from wearing that cheap plastic mask with the rubber band going around your ear. LOL And those costumes had that certain smell. If you know you know.
I had that same cassette player! I gad the middle watch! Friends had the S and P shakers! We had that clock! I have a few of those pens. I worked at a grocery store when the New Coke came out! Loved scratch and sniff! Yes, and klakers were painful! My brother had the Six Million Dollar Man! I had Merlin! Didn't care much for Matchbox....loved Hot Wheels! Love Koosh balls! Have and had a bunch of wind up robots! Wow, I used to have a 'blip'! I hated that pellet candy! I had the waterful ring toss! I got really good at it! Bunch of my friends had the football game.
HEY I'm deaf in 70's and 80's remember classic toys and drink jolt cola and Gatorade cola and gum bubble too. Halloween mini balls candy and electronic play football game. ❤
I still think about that football game. I hate football and really don't understand it except for what I learned from that game 😂😂 Those plastic candy figures with the pumpkin head were cool, but the candy was awful.
