Remembering Things That Are Gone!
 

Who remembers "Fudgetown" cookies? Used to gobble them up as a kid......have not seen them in years!:drool:

How about Maxum instant coffee. That was way better than what's out there now.

How about Keebler's "Magic Middles"?

I have a "magic middle" from eating Keebler cookies!:hihi:

Manual locking hubs for 4 x4.

Manual wipers on an International Scout

a shifter for 4x4 instead of a buttom or dial

Seeds:eek:

And ,i always remember your saying about ,. "no Brinks following the hearse to the cemetery ". :grins:


Gone, my Mother's blueberry rolie polie
and raspberry wind pudding with a sugar egg sauce topping. :)

Karl - for Chis sakes you have me crying with the memories. We used to drive that route many times just gunning for the bass. Also remember the dunes trails?
Bassmaster probably still drives that route???:jump:
The only true 4 wheeler is the Jeep wrangler. Stick shift and true transfer case! The room sucks but the ride is awsome.

I miss the target ship(USS LONGSTREET) in Cape Cod Bay..

try sliding down those dunes in Ptown on a piece of cardboard today and you'll be locked up and sent to jail for erosion :rollem: I remember doing that as a kid right alongside of rt 6.

Slip
 

I remember doing the same:bl:

I remember getting my change back, coins first!

when we were teenagers we would drive down there and hang and jump all over those dunes, go to the beach..party up

The Marathon candy bar.
Returnable glass bottles in a six pack of Coke.
Giveaways at gas stations.

s&h green stamps

someone that washes your windshield while they fill your tank with gas, people who used to use there blinker before they turned, now they are either on the phone or just lazy

I miss when everything was closed on Sundays. And alot of places closed early on Saturday. When Monday through Friday was enough. I'm only 32. but I remember that stuff as a kid.......wish it was still that way now....instead of the go-go-go of today.

come over to the vineyard and ud think u were back in time. almost nothin is open on sunday and god forbid theres a store open past 7 on a saturday, otherwise the island shuts down at 6 every single day. everyones excuse: gotta go fishin :jump: .

I remember watching them bomb the Target ship.:uhuh: I was about 11 y/o when they stopped doing the bombing. I miss going to Brewster for 2 hole weeks and staying at Ellis landing in one of those cottages right on the beach. I remember going to the Dairy Queen and getting a med. cherry dip. I remember going to Nauset in the refrigerator green International Scout and sitting on the tail gate from the parking lot to long bar. And I remember not being the Dad who had to organize, plan, tow the boat for and pay for the hole thing.
Thanks Dad.:crying:

haha very tru, the bars are still open. :cheers:

MTV when they actually played music!!

surge soda. the stuff was taken off the shelf by the FDA cuse of some chemical, but man was that good stuff.

i watch soda like a hawk.... for aspertame mostly

but especially fresca or any other soda that has phenylalaline in it.

that substance gives me kalaidescope vision... like a real bad reaction

very uncomfortable...like having oil on your eye ball and i won't touch it.:af:
