and Fizzies 😀

T,G & Y (dime stores or "variety stores")
 
My first car was a 1960 Corvair. 🙂
Bought it when I was living just east of you Wolf. Warrensburg!!

I did a search on Ebay awhile back, and actually found FIZZIES for sale!!!:Q

 
Fizzies -I think someone started making them again for the "nostalgia" market, I saw some a few years back in a Mr. Bulky's (but they didn't taste the same as I remembered)

oh, yeah - and millions of U.S. manufacturing jobs, sold to the lowest bidder overseas :|
 
good cartoons!!! im not that old (20 ) but nowadays it seems like all the cartoons are cr@p, some of my favorites were the old bugs bunny cartoons, Ducktales, Tailspin, Tom & Jerry, etc etc
 
I miss...

- the non-existance of stress
- the abundance of free time
- quality computer games that tried pushing the envelope
- the need to actually tweak/upgrade the computer
- being able to get together with neighborhood kids everyday and just play
- running a business and selling crap baseball, basketball cards to other kids advertising it as "great"

I don't miss...

- Floppy disks (5 1/4; 3 1/2)
- Big heavy AT-form desktops
- My Stupidity/Lack of Knowledge
- The antenna thing sitting atop my old television that only catches 6 or 7 channels on good nights
