I might be older than dirt but those memories are the best part of my life.

sad thing I am older than dirt. I remember 20 of the 25 !!!!

I remember all of them, didn’t have a partyline but the rural areas did. Blackjack was licorice flavored chewing gum and it was the best. From the time you put it in your mouth, your mouth immediately started watering, boy it was good. If I remember right the package was a light blue with black lettering and the inside wrapper was an even lighter blue.

18……..Funny,I didn’t think I was that old

I remember all of them, but it is not how old they say you are, but how old you feel.

BlackJack I still find this every once in a while travling across the country. Some days I feel older then dirt.

What happens to folks who are older than dirt, but don’t remember stuff? Does that mean you are younger than what you are?

S&H green stamps. Where can I redeem mine? I still have some.

Don’t forget to add ,,,getting a free tootsie-pop when the wrapper had the guy with a bow shooting the star!

Hey 23 out of 25!! Not bad at all.

Now I know whos part of the old farts club.

24 out of 25 but you know I’m thrilled to be older than dirt, The only other option to aging sucks

I’m with you…almost, Tony!!! 22 out of 25. Here’s one for the Young’uns. Remember when gas was less than a dollar???? And a bit older….Gas under 50 cents?

Sorry, don’t want to turn this into yet another “political”, or “gas is too expencive” thread!!!!

I’m doomed, 20 out of 25.

A politically correct flashback

24 outta 25 and can remeber when gas wa 49 cents a gallon and my starting wage on my 1st job was only 90 cent and hour

I’m old enough to respect my elders.

Old enough not to need a gun except for hunting.

Old enough not to call a women a ho.

Old enough to form a sentence without using four letter swear words.

Old enough to know a liar and low life when I see one.

Old enough to know BOTH Republicans and Democrats are liars.

Old enough to know what the “Bay of Pigs” meant.

Old enough to know right from wrong.

Old enough to know this thread brings back alot of memories.

Amen Brian, and the other information you quoted above. How things have changed over the years, and it doesn’t seem that long ago.

Yep, I qualify for the older than dirt club

My mom gets a catalog called “Vermont Country Store” They sell Blackjack Gum and other old time candy in there too yet. Some of the names have changed being some of the older names weren’t exactly PC by todays standards but you can still get them

What are green Stamps by the way? And yes I know the Bay of Pigs. They do still have decent history classes in small towns

I must be dead, and my wife laughing at this. I remember all of these. I loved my uncles Stude’ pickup. It was a tank! I remeber my first job off the farm in high school at a service station, and gas was 24.9c/gal. I remeber when it went 30 cents, it was like some one put up a barracade. The next day, they all needed gas. (even pumped some Ethel!) Ya, that’s right.

Actually I remember saying if it ever gets to 50 cents a gallon I’ll quit driving…Yea right that happened

Took my bike to get gas for the lawn mower. Dad gave me a quarter for the gallon can…I brought him 6 cents in change home.

Although I recall 24 of the questions…I’m still not as old as Herb!

Yeah, and you never will be either.

25 out of 25. Those were the good old days
