Things from the 70's and 80's that no longer exist... and you miss them.

[mytwotinks]

I can get sixlets anytime here. I do think that they went away for a while though. My grandma used to keep a candy dish full of them at all times so they really take me back to the late 70's! The only thing missing is Squirt (lemon lime soda drink) and angel food cake!

I also miss the one big earing and one small earing trend! Usually lightning bolts if I remember correctly!

Me too!!! I remember when I was around 10,I used to go to sleep to Rod Stewart songs (probably an 8-track ha ha)

I just thought of another one:

Satin Jackets!! I had a hot pink one (like Pinky Tuskedaro)

My cute little figure and penny candy...hmmmm maybe there is a correlation here...


Shag haircuts, feathered bangs, my dad's 1968 Cougar that I got to drive to school sometimes..

They still make Sixlets! I usually see them at Easter!

The other day I was explaining to DS that at his age my bike had a banana seat...he thought I was crazy. I'll have to show this to him tomorrow.
