BTW, you are a “youngster” if you are old enough to be my child. 44 qualifies, but just barely.

**Rob Petrie was the character played by Dick Van Dyke in the original Dick Van Dyke Show. His wife Laura was played by Mary Tyler Moore, the first female character on TV allowed to wear pants! **
IIRC, Lucy Ricardo also wore pants (as did her wacky side-kick Ethel Mertz) occasionally. One outfit I was particularly partial to involved peg-legged pants and dark top worn with a fitted to the waist then flowing duster.
Lest we forget, before Mr. Van Dyke became famous, he was known as Penis Van Lesbian!
(Old joke. Wonder if Dick knows about it?)
Oh, and Grit newspapers! (used to sell those to save up money for band camp!)
Q
Kinda off-topic here, but I have these dreams every now and then of me walking into my 60’s high school classroom with a laptop under my arm and a cell phone/discman clipped to my belt and either becoming an instant hit or being burned alive.
Doesn’t make much sense, I know, but I’ve always been a big fan of time travel!
Now back to your regularly-scheduled thread.
Q
Oo! Was that the thing that put purpley-blue ink on newsprinty paper? We loved sniffing the fresh ones back in the first grade for the alcohol smell. Used to drive our teacher nuts – “stop sniffing the quiz!”
I’m going to add:
-
Mini-juice cans (i.e. smaller than a can of soda) with the pull tabs. My mom used to get those for road trips, so to this day warm Allen’s apple juice makes me think “going to Grandma’s!”
-
Manual typewriters (non-electric)
-
Lite-Brite
Oo! Oo! I thought of another one:
“Pumping your own gas” literally meaning to crank that handle thing on the pump at the gas station. (Back when the pumps looked kind of like tall gumball machines.)
Holy shit - could somebody post something that I don’t recognize so I can feel less like an old fart?
And I thought it was LS/MFT.
“Lucky Strike green has gone to…”
And as an old MIS type, I can remember the excitement of not having to use the card punch machines for my program deck.
Cripes, I am old.

Everyone keeps mentioning Luckies, so we should also mention:
“Winston tastes good like a [ clap clap ] cigarette should.”
*And following the outcry of offended grammarians over the use of “like” in the preceding, we then had *
“I’d rather fight than switch”

More 70s stuff (which I thought was the point of the OP)
Just give me the punch card from the book, and I’ll check you out. Thanks for coming to the library.

I’m old enough to remember hearing this, but can’t remember where. Care to enlighten me?
Musicat, that may have been The Smiling Ed McConnell Show. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
Is that the same program where we heard, “This is my dog Tige – he lives in a shoe. My name is Buster Brown. Look for me in there too”?
Polycarp, I can’t believe someone else remembers Winky Dink! Did you have one of those plastic thingies to put over the TV screen to draw on?
Anyone remember dancing Old Gold cigarette boxes? One of them was Grace Kelly.
I still have a couple of old Grit newspaper bags!
