Don't feel bad, 'kat. I'm older than dirt, too!http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif It did bring back some fun memories, tho' so I guess I don't mind.

I'm still young, woohoo! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/jumping.gif http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

The only one I remembered was those gross candy cigarettes. Ewwwwww.

But hey, at least I'm not older than dirt, woohoo! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/jumping.gif http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

Hmmmm...I'm older than Lynner, but I'm only at the "Don't tell your age" level. How confusing is that? Maybe I just lived a sheltered life as a child. Not anymore! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

------------------
I go back so far, I'm in front of me...

[HMVNipper]

Oh yeah, this one made the rounds on another list I belong to about a month ago. I remember them ALL, except for Butch Wax. (Does anyone know what that is? My friend's 74-year-old dad didn't know either...)

I guess I'm older than dirt...oh well, as they say, you're not getting older, you're getting better!

Thanks for posting this, Kat!

http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/laugh2.gif this was really cute! i shared it with all of the women at work, and they got a kick out of it!

and they told me that Butch Wax was the pomade-like hair product that boys/men would put on their hair to slick it down.

Thanks, Allie, I figured it was something like that...like Brylcreem or something, but I wasn't sure. Probably Butch Wax was invaluable in creating the perfect D.A.! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/wink1.gif

Um...I remember 8 but I'm 17...does that still mean I'm "getting older"? http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/afraid3.gif

Are you losing your hair? http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/afro.gif

I remember those candy cigarettes like Marissa did, as well as the home milk delivery in glass bottles (though not with cardboard stoppers).
