My parents had a Studebaker when I was born. the >589 is from the first time I remember looking at how much gas cost in 1978. Cigarettes were $.59 also the same year.
School milk was five cents

Dad loved Studebakers and Nash Ramblers. I didn't like the Studebaker, in fact I deliberately miscalled it the Student Breaker.

Yeah, it has something to do with the federal tax on gasoline. Most places just round up now, but back then they showed all 3 digits.

$.399/gallon must have been around 1920 or so here in Sweden. It's almost $10/US gallon here now. :thumbdn:

That's what I was thinking too. Awww.... Flo

When bread was 25 cts a loaf, and an egg had the same price.
Now a simple bread is around 2 euro, more than 17 times as expensive, and an egg costs 20 cents at the most. Not even twice as expensive.

Beer was under $2 for a six pack

Remember when cans of food were 16 ounces, not 14.5 ounces and tuna was 6 and 1/2 ounces, then 6 ounces, now 5 ounces. Oh wait that was 2 years ago.

When I moved cross-country from Florida to Idaho in 1999 I filled up my gas tank for $0.99 a gallon, when I arrived it was $1.10 and hasn't dropped back below since. I'm paying $3.39 a gallon now at the cheapest place in town :(

I started driving (or got my license; I could drive when I was 13) in 1989. Then it costed a little less than a dollar a litre here. One US gallon is 3.8 litres. :thumbdn:

that sucks, :( If that happened here "all of a sudden" , the economy would collapse.

TVs and radios had tubes in them you could take out and check at the drug store
Here is a box of them I picked up at a tag sale for reference for you younger folk :P

Smoking was allowed in hospitals.

Smoking was allowed in hospitals.
The parish (county) run hospital actually allowed drinking if you were a patient and the doctor prescribed it. This was in the 1980's.

When kids could buy cigars and cigarettes without any questions.
When we just had two TV channels, TV1 and TV2. That was actually until 1990 or so.

Oh wow. We could receive three German channels beside the Ned 1 and Ned 2.
And yes, I got the cigarettes for my Dad. And was behind a bar tapping beer at age 10 :asthing:
-
When drugs were legal to use but not to possess. This meant that you couldn't get busted if the drug was already in your body, because according to the narrow judicial definition, possession didn't include things already absorbed by your body. Unfortunately I wasn't interested in them then.
-
I remember petrol being 68cents per litre when I first got my licence in 1996.
-
I recall when quarrels were settled with fisticuffs or a duel.
-
I remember that time I once typed this right now.
-
You had to bring your film to get developed after taking photos
-
You didn't need any seatbelts. Seat belt in the frontseat became compulsory in 1975 here, while you didn't need any in the backseat until 1986. Though if the car is older than a 1969 model you still don't need any seat belt in it.

Leaded gasoline
-
When you could - legally :angel: - buy fireworks per mail.
-
I recall when quarrels were settled with fisticuffs or a duel.
Remember that time long ago when you said this?
-
If you wanted to watch something on TV you had to watch it when it aired or wait for a rerun
-
When you had no remote control for the TV and you didn't have a colour TV. We didn't have a colour TV until the late 70's and no remote control until the mid 90's.

I remember those days...and if you missed the rerun, too bad, that was it. :emosad:

I remember when we had only a single TV channel in Finland. The second was up and running but their broadcasts were too weak for us to receive. On a good and clear day, we could see static resembling Sweden's TV1.

Our Mercedes back in the 60s didn't have seat belts installed. When I was three or four my dad used to take me with him into town. I would sit in the front, next to him, without any kind of protection. Back then it was the normal state of things but today the naysayers would get their knickers in a twist and my dad would probably be jailed for endangering my life. :laugh:

I never learned to ride a bike because we had no sidewalks on our street and weren't allowed to go far from the house unsupervised. :dunno:

We used to hike in the hills around Pittsburg CA trying to find Garter snakes and King snakes while avoiding Rattlesnakes. Once we found a dead decomposing Fox, I was surprised at how small it was.

Growing up I would spend at least 2 hours a weekday and 8 hours or more every Saturday and Sunday hiking around the old logging roads in the forest behind the house I grew up in outside Seattle. Birds, squirrels, all kinds of things. I once found the head and legs of a poached Elk and watched them decompose over several weeks.

Birthday cakes with coins baked inside. You got to keep any money that you found in your piece of cake. Nothing says safety like baking choking hazards inside food. Gotta love the 70's. :thumbup:

Oh, I remember some bonbons that I ate in the 70's. They were read and made my shit look like blood. We were on vacation, but my dad drove me over 100 kms home to town to the hospital to find out that it was nothing wrong with me. They don't make any nice colourants that colours your piss and shit anymore either.

My mother never allowed colored cereals in the house because of the big 1970s Red Dye #2 cancer scare. We had good cereal,
but none of the cartoony stuff advertised on TV. One of my big childhood adventures was the two-course breakfast of colored cereals
that I ate one morning when I was away at Girl Scout camp! The milk turned beige and then pink. It was a whole new experience! :baked:

Both. I was pre-vet for a few years, and worked as a veterinary nurse for a decade or so. Canine and Feline anatomy, physiology, chemistry and medicine has been a special interest of mine for a lot of years.

They will work fine as long as there is a stationary telephone net of the kind we have now. The telecommunication industry plans for decades ahead. The mobile phone net in Sweden was planned already in the 1960's, for instance.

Automated drip coffee pots came out? We never used a percolator, just Mom standing at the stove, dripping the water over the grounds into the white enamel coffee pot. Dad gave her one for Christmas and she was free, free, free.

:lol:
And now I use my drip coffee machine as a mere holder for filter and pot, to hand drip my coffee. Because I like the taste better that way.
And I hand whip the milk for it too.
Not an excessive coffee-drinker, but, when I have it, I want it to be the just the way I like it.

My husband's sister sent us a red velvet cake for Christmas that dyed poop red, so I guess they must still make that kind of dye here.

I'm at the cinema, about to show a film about Göteborg's premier football team, IFK Göteborg, and its glorious past. Now, *those* were the days. In 1982 and again in 1986, they won the UEFA cup. :viking:

I remember when there were 1, 2, 5, 10 and 25 öre coins and 5 kronor bills but no 10 kronor coins and no 20 or 500 kronor bills.
-
I can remember when $2 bills were in fashion. I can also remember at least 3 separate $1 coins that have come and gone.

A five krona with the old king and two one kronor with the current king. All three are still valid.

I remember when tvs were big enough on top so the cat could sleep on it. That was before we got a video player.
-
^ I remember when you actually had to get off your ass to change the TV channel and commit to a show before you sat down again.
There was no such thing as channel surfing for any extended period of time!
-
Yeah our tv had one of those twisty dials to change the channel. I remember when we first got Channel 10.

He he...this convo sent me to Countdown clips on youtube.

I'm still young so the 90's are like eons ago for me.
I remember when 600ml bottles of coke were just 500ml bottles with 20% bonus extra. AND they were only $1.50.

YES! The TV lamp, my mother kept it in back of the big monstrous black-and-white TV, which of course was kept on a TV cart
with WHEELS on it, and it had the rabbit-ear antennae, and my father put pieces of tinfoil on the ends of the rabbit ears to
improve the reception. We turned this TV on an off manually, and changed channels manually. We got about 8 channels. :chin:

Only now I get why the windmill lamp would be on. No deer here, a wooden windmill with warm yellow light.
It could make music too btw, but that of course would not happen during watching TV

One of the agencies I often audited was the Orleans Parish Levee Board, which was located at the Lakefront Airport. Up until Hurricane Katring the airport had an old wooden phone booth that I would specifically go into to call home because it was so much fun to do. Sadly the airport was outside the levee system and fared very badly.

Looking at porn meant magazines
:indeed:
I just had a discussion with a friend about "VCR porn"
how when we were kids we would try to remember the exact second it was on, and we would try to rewind it to the exact point so we didnt get caught

CB radios
Stag and Male magazines
Letters as a means of correspondence
Plug in phones.

Making mice out of handkerchiefs.

I was just about to say that! My favorite slide was my parents' photo of their flowering crapapple tree,
its blossoms dusted with snow during a freak May snowstorm (I think that happened in 1977). :chin:
-
1977? I was born then.
I remember when no one had more than one tv.

We had two! Both black-and-white with fairly crummy reception, but oh well! :zoinks:
-
Oh I used to hate black and white tv. Things just don't look right. I remember when I was growing up a friend of mine had black and white tv and I refused to watch it, heh.
The first tv I remember our family having was a big coloured one which you had to turn the dial on to change channels. And we had three channels, 2, 7 and 9.

We had the manual dial too, and the button that you pulled out to turn the TV on and pushed in to turn the TV off. :nerdy:
-
I remember the kind of tv that you opened the panel and turned the little dials to make preset channels, and then pushed little silver buttons outside the panel to go to the presets.
-
And indoor and outdoor TV antennas.
Dad on the roof with us in the living room and the window open relaying info to him on the best direction for the antenna for TV reception.

I remember that now. There was also room for the cat on top of the tv - he used to love the warmth there.

TV stations went off the air in the middle of the night

YES! I'd forgotten that! Even when I first had cable in 1988/89, I remember certain stations would just show a test pattern
in the wee hours of the morning, or they'd show hours of infomercials. I miss the late 80s, they were dorky but fun. :chin:

Yeah I remember the test pattern and really daggy muzak (or however it is spelt). Either that or just static.
-
Typing and correction tape. I used to use so much correction tape and white out I used to photocopy the papers to get them to look right
-
I remember in Year 9 we had typing class. It was before I knew anything about computers and the internet. Geez I feel old.
-
I had in in year 9 also. And in year 3 or 4 as part of special ed because of my bad handwriting
-
I still never learnt to type properly, I use two fingers and am pretty slow at it. I never got along with my typing teacher and I didn't really learn anything in that class. We had electric typewriters though which were fun to use.
-
I failed it in year 9 and hated the teacher which had a lot to do with it. Never felt I learned much either and I type with two fingers also :laugh:
-
I think I failed it too. :D Failed pretty much everything that year anyway. Changed schools for the next year and did a lot better.

Static, yeah! If you fell asleep in front of the TV and woke up at 2 in the morning, it would be all snowy! :orly:

Well at least I was in good company :2thumbsup:
That year was bad I was in a very rebellious stage. that started in 8 and continued into 10.

I remember computer classes at my high school. I probably still have my floppy disk around here somewhere. :nerdy:

And the only computers where in the special computer room in the library

We had a special computer classroom filled with them. Not sure I ever saw one in the library though. :chin:
-
I had "natural science" in high school in the late 80's. We spent 12 hours in 3 years in the computer room.
-
Computer screens where green , amber or that kinda gray like a BW tv

My brother had those. He's five years younger but was always ahead of me with technical stuff, except for explosives/pyro stuff. :nerd!:

Speaking of typewriters, the last company to make manual typewriters has stopped making them. They have about 500 in stock and expect to sell them to the military or other users who might not have access to electricity.
