You know that you're old school if you can....

Daniel Boone, Flipper, Gentle Ben.
Space Ghost, Johnny Quest, George of the Jungle (although it's not in the same league as the previous two).
AAAaaaaannnnnnnnnddddddddddd ...













Rocky and Bullwinkle.

 

"Hey good-lookin' ... speeeeend a little dime with me."

At a dime, by the way, White Owls were kind of pricey compared to Ben Franklin's, which cost a nickel apiece. Heatherton was also great in the Serta mattress commercials.

 

The Washington Wizards were the Baltimore Bullets

 

Wouldn't you like to know what's goin' on in my mind?

 

Anyone remember cereal called "Stax?" It was my favorite.

How about Quisp and Quake?

And yes, she was rather smokin' in those Serta commercials.

 

That damn Qusip would drive Quake bonkers.

 

Every pizza place had a picture of Bruno Sammartino in full wrestling mode.

Schwinn sting-ray bikes with banana seats.

Those rubber boots with the impossible-to-use buckles.

When you carried your books home in a denim duffel bag over your shoulder instead of a backpack.

Tobor the Eighth Man (Hey, it's "robot" spelled backwards!!")

 

...you have original clips in your clipbook that still have wax on them.

 

Remember when you carried your books in an army-styled back pack. The pea-green colored one.

 

We need a little female representation on this thread....

... remember when Cabbage Patch Kids, My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, et. al. were popular. The first time around.

... remember elastic hair ties with the plastic baubles on each end, and the stylish barrettes had long ribbons woven through them.

... remember when the boys went to computer class and the girls went to ballet class in elementary school.

... remember snuggling with your mom on the couch while she watched Dynasty.

... remember when The Babysitter's Club books first came out, preceded by the wave of "terminally ill teen chick lit".

 

Remember when fingerless lace gloves and jelly bracelets were in style . . . in the 80s.

 

Don't forget Monchichi!
