Glass bottled drinks from machines or gas stations were awesome! They tasted better. I buy those now anytime I can.

Oh yeah, I love drinking Coke out of a glass bottle (especially after putting it in the freezer for a little bit to get the bottle nice and ice cold). I buy myself some as a treat once in awhile.

Actually playing with a toy and using imagination.

I turned my army men Guns of Navarone mountain playset into an underground rebel base for my Star Wars figures.

Bottled soft drinks out of machines. Remember when the first drink of a Pepsi or Coke would burn your nose.

Arcades filled with classic games for a quarter! The few "Family Fun Centers" that are left seem to have less and less video games (even modern ones) and more redemption based stuff. Even when the more classic ones I find seem to vanish after about two years.
Food wise instant/toaster pizza. Loved those when I was a kid.

Yeah they had pretzles too, I remember that, not sure what else. Glad you enjoyed them too growing up.

Anybody remember Charle's Chip when they were delievered to you at home? You left the big metal container on the porch and like magic they were filled up the next morning.

I remember Charles Chips, well. It was very popular in Evansville, back then.

If I recall correctly, they offered more than, just, potato chips. Is that right?

^I meant antennas on top of your TV, Chris.

Oops! But I did have rabbit ears for the top of my TV before I bought a rooftop version. Some people don't know that old fashioned rabbit ears can pull in over the air HD TV signals, but they do and they work great.

I go to a record store at least twice a week! There's a bunch of them here.

Oh yeah, TO has lots of great record stores.

[Mikey]

My movie theatre used to have door prizes at big budget movies (Star Wars etc)

[cjefferys]

Not all of the above are gone, I still visit record stores, and have a TV antenna on top of my house to pull in OTA channels in superb quality HD.
