    Unleaded gas? Sorry, had to laugh. Some here have to remember when leaded gas was 29.9c a gallon(or less) and island oil was a dime a quart.

    50 of 50.

    one of signs is you know the difference between you're and your

    #8 dont know what that is
    #10 it's for sale at the dollar stores today
    #11 is like from the 18xx, that must be REALLY OLD
    #12 is questionable, it is a dish still served today
    #13 is kinda so so, you can still order the smoker package with some manufacturers (I think)
    #14 indeed, but i was able to buy gas when the power went out on the east coast
    #17 come on, thats not old, it's still being used today
    #21 no clue
    #25 in use at all shoe stores, not just by the great Al Bundy
    #36 is still used today

    I failed.

    I'd bet you know what #21 is. You just don't recognize it as it is.

    11 Not sure what it is used for but something tells me it’s been used on me, I’ve been forced to block it out!
    28 I honestly don’t know what’s under her dress. Guess I never thought to look.
    Not sure what 43 is. And I grew up with a mom and 3 sisters. Something tells me I should know what it is! Hahaha

    I started driving in the early 70’s. Gas was .28 to .32 cents a gallon. My dad would let any of us kids take the car, go anywhere you want, stay out as late as you want. His only demand was leave him enough gas to get to work in the morning (about 1/4 tank). After a night of shenanigans we’d all have to scrap together a buck or two and we were good!
    Before the end of that decade gas was up to 60cents a gallon. I remember hearing a report that one day gas will be over a dollar a gallon. I thought, Oh no way, that’s insane, people will stop driving if it ever comes to that!! Lol

    I had no idea that Ding Dongs were no longer wrapped in foil. That's too bad.

    Last year at my summer job I had to use a manual credit card reader, at both of my jobs (in locations that had existed for a long time) we had them as backups because the computer systems always glitched out at some point. Also I have used wash boards because I refused to pay my college any more money. Surprised there was no safety razors, mercury thermometers, vertical hold adjustment, slide rulers, or ditto machines.

    Pinstripes, lots of em. Plus a couple dents.
    I'm 46 and didn't know / have seen 6 of them. For instance, I never wrapped a coke or beer in tinfoil. Must be a southern thing.

    Wow, 44 out of 50 and I'm only 43... jeez.

    #26 is missing the 78 option. Now I'm REALLY showing my age!
