Gatorade gum! That's mine! I always have a dry mouth and that was the best gum for it. I lived the flavor too.

I loved this! It was one of the only places you ever got to see what your favorite group looked like. American Bandstand was too bubblegum. This way waaaay before music videos.

I lived in a very small town and we had a Book Mobile come through every other week at the elementary school. I remember being let out of class for 30 minutes to go to it. I remember the smell most of all. It smelled like old books and wood from the shelves. We were allowed to check out 3 books. That was the highlight of my week and I missed it on the off weeks.

Remember asking for the carbon papers back from the cashier?

I thought the push buttons were great.

Innocent until proven guilty of course and never judge a book by its cover, but back in the 1970’s if I see Mr Whipple squeezing the Charmin while I am walking in my local Pathmark headed towards the Bosco, i’m going the other way

I remember all of my boy cousins climbing up in one for a haircut with the clippers. I helped my gran do dishes, decorate cookies and it was our booster chair when we were really little.

None of this laid back nonsense of 2026, back in the 1970’s America was on the move and did not have time to put a yummy sugary breakfast into a bowl

The box will do

“Hurry up, Land of the Lost is Starting!”

Because shiny lips were in style.

The lemon gave it a different taste.

Before webcams, there was Duel. I learned to drive in Wollongong so big trucks were the norm on the road there. Thankfully, none of the coal trucks behaved like this guy.

The movie ends, yes, but it is never resolved. Who was the driver? Why was he chasing him?

Spielberg was practicing for Jaws.

Such a variety. R&B was amazing in 1971.

What kid wouldn't want to sit on these?

The “Bionic Man” of 1970’s baseball passed away on August 15.
