There are some missing too. Like soda fountains where you could get real Cherry Coke.

Blue...he's trying to tell you to have a Happy Birthday. I'm sure, being as old as you are, you have no idea what that meant. I figured I would help you out and explain it, so you're not scratching your head for a week wonder what the hell CrAz3D was trying to say to you. But then again, in about an hour, I'm sure you would forget all about it.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUD!!!!!!!!!

About 15 first hand. I grew up in the country; so, some of them may have been holdovers from an earlier time, that I remember as a child. Soda machines with glass bottles for instance. I do remember those well.

 

I was born in 1962 and I am deep in the 'Older than Dirt' category at 22 out of 25. #1, #8 and #20 are the only ones I don't have direct memories of. Many of them are memories from before 1970.

If you were born anytime before the mid 1960's and you have lots of childhood memories, you probably qualify as "Older than Dirt".

 

1966... I've seen Studebakers on the road; but, they weren't new ones. They don't count. LOL

 

 

#2 and #3 would be the only ones for me.

 

I work in Johnstown, and worked with a rep from one of our vendors that lives in Mount Airy MD.

 

I remember all
