Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles.  or Especially the machines that looked like a freezer and could be opened with insertin cash into them first.


45 RPM Records or 78 records that were a 1/4 inch thick.


Metal ice cube trays-with levers or metal ice cube trays before the levers


Blue flash Bulbs or the flash that had powder on a tray separate from the camera


Beanie and Cecil  or the first Captain Kangaroo


15 cent McDonald hamburgers or when there was no McDonalds yet.


35 cent-a-gallon gasoline or 15 cent-a-gallon gasoline
