Setting points on distributor

Firing up the steam tractor

Feather quill and ink

Smoke signals

Going to live vaudeville shows

Going to the drive-in theater

Going to a car hop and having someone come out on roller skates take your order

Pay for stuff with $2.00 bills

Pay for cigarettes as kid from a vending machine

Smoke in McDonald's, Taco Bell, Doctors Office, and on Airplanes

Seeing TV ads with doctors saying smoking was healthy

Flintstones selling cigarettes

Buy clothing in real sizes and not this vanity sizing crap

Calling 1-900 numbers and calling collect

Watch shows like Mr.Wizard, Howdy Doody, Uncle Miltie

@HumanEarth Do you remember full service gas stations?
HumanEarth · F
@Barefooter25 yes, but barely. But in New Jersey its a state law that they must have full service gas stations. If you go to New Jersey today and tried to pump your own gas, you could end up in trouble with the law

@HumanEarth I did not know that!!! In just about every state, most gas stations are self service.
