70s Childhood: This or That?

[MIB41]

I'm going to have to add peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, liked them as much as baloney sandwiches back in the day.

Heck, I still do...

That's an excellent point. I ate P&J more than anything else when it came to sandwiches in the 70's.

[johnnystorm]

1) Partridge Family- had a huge crush on Susan Dey
2) Chips Ahoy
3) Cap'n Crunch- also Vanilla Crunch!
4) Welcome Back Kotter- again, crushing on Mrs. Kotter Marcia Strassman
5) Star Wars trading cards- still got 'em!
6) skateboard- me and my friends were big in to skateboarding in the day, still have some scars on my left hand from an epic wipeout. Haven't been on one in 30 years, I'd be really afraid to try it!
7) Six Million Dollar Man- never was a big fan of joes.
8) Planet Of The Apes Megos- love me those apes and loved the tv show in particular

14) ham and cheese sandwiches- I hate baloney
15) Superfriends

1) Brady Bunch or Partridge Family? - Man, I didn't watch either one. At my house, it was more like Mod Squad or The Streets of San Francisco
2) Chips Ahoy or Oreo? - OREOS, back in the day when the filling actually had favor instead of just tasting like sweetened shortening
3) Cap'n Crunch or Freakies? - I would alway go with the Cap'n in a pinch, but my one, true love in breakfast cereal was (and is) Quisp...
4) Happy Days or Welcome Back Kotter? - A bit of both, but probably more WBK
5) Wacky Packages or Star Wars trading cards? - Liked the movie, but never got into the merchandise that much; I believe I was prowling about for '76 King Kong cards about this time
6) Bike or skateboard? - Bike all the way on this one. Tried a skateboard once; still have the scar on my knee from the spill I took onto rough pavement
7) Six Million Dollar Man or GIJoe action figures? - Um, both. They would frequently have team-up missions to destroy my sister's Barbie stuff...
8) Star Trek or Planet Of The Apes Megos? - Trek and, of course, WGSH.
9) Pro-Keds or Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers? - My parents bought me whatever was on sale at Woolco
10) Creamsicle or Fudgesicle? - Fudgesicle then, Creamsicles now
11) Hershey's or Nestle's Crunch candy bars? - Herhey's, baby, their chocolate was always better
12) Garbage Pail candy or Fun Dip? - I was a Fun Dipper (or Charms Sweet n' Sour Pops)
13) Superman or Batman Ben Cooper costumes? - Batman and Spider-Man, if memory serves
14) Baloney or ham and cheese sandwiches? - Bologna (with brown mustard and gherkins on the side, please)
15) Superfriends or Jonny Quest cartoons? - Watched 'em both, along with Scooby Doo

[Earth 2 Chris]

1) Brady Bunch or Partridge Family? - Bradys for sure. Partridge Family was barely syndicated in my area
2) Chips Ahoy or Oreo? - I never liked either much as a kid, but I bought a bunch of Oreos to get a Batman mail order comic, so I'll say Oreos. I liked Chewy Chips Ahoy when those came out.
3) Cap'n Crunch or Freakies? – Cap'n Crunch. Never had Freakies.
4) Happy Days or Welcome Back Kotter? – Happy Days, although I liked Kotter too.
5) Wacky Packages or Star Wars trading cards? – Blasphemy, I know, but Wacky Packages. I did have Star Wars cards as well, and still have a Snoopy Lunch Box with a Tarkin sticker on it. ;-)
6) Bike or skateboard? – Bike
7) Six Million Dollar Man or GIJoe action figures? – SMDM
8) Star Trek or Planet Of The Apes Megos? – Star Trek
9) Pro-Keds or Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers? – Chucks
10) Creamsicle or Fudgesicle? – Creamsicle
11) Hershey's or Nestle's Crunch candy bars? – Nestle Crunch
12) Garbage Pail candy or Fun Dip? – Wow, that's a tough one. I'm going to say Fun Dip, although I loved the trash can you got with the Garbage Pail candy.
13) Superman or Batman Ben Cooper costumes? – Batman. I still have my cloth playsuit!
14) Baloney or ham and cheese sandwiches? – Baloney!
15) Superfriends or Jonny Quest cartoons? – Super Friends, although I now acknowledge Jonny had the consistently superior production.

This was fun. Thanks!
