I'm so old I Remember when:

Cursive is gonna be our "Secret Language." Only a select few will be able to decode it!

We get a premium ice cream ‘Turkey Hill’ in this region. They harken out of Amish country in Pennsylvania. Anyways, I remember how angry I was one day when I went to buy a 1/2 gallon only to find out they cut the 1/2 gallon by two ounces, price was the same of course. No mention of the change that I was aware of. It just reeks of a sneaky con game.

A pound of coffee went to 12 ounces and now some are even 11 1/2. Don't even get me started on what Guinness has done.

I remember the hostess donuts.

Me too.

Would that be in one serving or multiples.

For most of us it's spread throughout your life but there are some out there that are rather fond of mud pies.

My personal largest servings usually involved mud fights with my brother when the spring thaw made snowballs impossible. Mom only had 3 rules: no stones in the mud balls; be sure to hose off and leave our dirty clothes on the back porch before coming inside; and straight into the tub. The loser has wait outside while the winner got to bathe first. Good times.

Oh wow! My pawpaw used to carry it in his shirt pocket and we could get a stick of it if we behaved! Lol I haven’t seen it in years! That was the first thing that came to my mind though when I read the thread.

I remember having to lower our TV antenna when hurricanes were about to hit us.

Oh Lord! Turning the stinking thing was bad enough lol

I know we're not supposed to have favorites but a little sex-linked red named Sherry is my special girl - - - except when she lets the whole neighborhood know for 3 minutes straight that someone's ruffled her feathers.

Got a pack of BlackJack gum as well as Teaberry. I am one of the vast minority that actually enjoys licorice flavor.
