I used to fling those at my little sister (mine were yellow too)

Dave128 · 06-15-2012, 09:46 AM

I'm 38. I know/had every one of the items pictured so far, except for the key looking things. I have a guess, but not 100% sure.

Guess Dave never owned those old clunky roller skates with the steel wheels that clamped on over your shoes... I certainly did

Believe it or not, that was my guess! My mom still has a pair up in their attic! It's funny how the wheels are all pock-marked from rolling on the pavement.

Jeeze, I feel older than I really am now.

I'm, sadly, too old for electronic games when I was a kid. We didn't even have calculators until I was finishing high school.

HAHAHA, I just checked out the layout to see which two I had. I had forgotten completely about "The Black Jack".
That was the most bada55 looking car. I also had a King Cobra in purple. I think everyone in my neighborhood had 1.

This is the back of something that if you saw the front it would be obvious.

I'm old enough to know all of these things and used or played with 75% of them, except for this. Lance, how about a hint? lol

You would put it by your front door. It went with something.

This is the only one that stumped me.

Man, I must be old.

If you saw the front the tabs would say things like "Whole Milk, 2 qts.", "Cottage Cheese, 1 qt.", "Skim Milk", etc.
You would put it in an empty bottle for the Milkman to tell him you wanted something extra with your usual delivery.

That's one I wouldn't have known, but I do remember the milkman delivering dairy products. Maybe I'm not as old as I thought I was.

Remember those red & white steroscopic 3D viewers? The ones with the disks you dropped in and there was a lever on the side for advancing to the next picture while you pointed them towards a light. Some even had "companion records" that would narrate the story.

I'm drawing a blank on the name... Viewmatic?
