The most obvious thing that used to always be there but is now gone: 45’s.
What I, personally, don’t see anymore that I used to see all the time:
those ugly, squat cars that were nothing but glass and looked like semi-squashed bugs-- what were they called?
Blueing (for the laundry)
Cream Rinse (for your hair).
If you think about it, can you remember something that dissappeared out of you life and you hardly noticed?
Zits.
Concert t-shirts.
tightie whities.
Glass pop bottles.
Potato chips packed in two narrow white bags sealed inside another large foil bag.
Non-air popcorn poppers.
Ubiquitous ashtrays.
Biggirl:
Gremlins? AMC Pacers? (I did a google image search on gremlin car and one on AMC Pacers and got pics of 'em.)
Going out on Friday and Saturday night.
Sleeping in on weekend mornings (OK, OK, I have noticed that one:)).

Leaded Gasoline
Distributor Caps
Carbeurators
“Wind Wings”
Bench Seats
Do-it-yourself Auto Repair
… wait, what am I saying? I miss the hell out of that last one!
That metallic flap flap flap noise that used to accompany nearly every fuel fill-up. It came from the metal price signs that had flaps with each number. The price would be flipped to and held open but one of the numbers inevitably would come loose and flap flap flap in even the slightest wind. Almost every station anymore has plastic or even digital price displays but I was pumping up at an old station the other day and heard that noise and immediately looked at their sign. Sure enough, the good ol’ 9 in the price of premium was loose and doing a little jig.

White-out, typewriter ribbon, etc.
My principles.
Yesterday I caught myself actually saying to my 9 month old son;
“Don’t you want to watch Barney for a few mninutes while Mommy folds the laundry?
Sure you do!

Sure do, but may just be regional. Mike-Sells brand out of Dayton Ohio. I’ll have to take a look next time I’m in the grocery and see if they sell them up here.
