I'm so old I Remember when:

[Sally PB]

There was a family I baby sat for in high school. The dad always picked me up, and always had the nicest cologne. I never asked what it was.

I smelled the same cologne on someone when I was in the store (standing in line? somewhere, I don't recall where). I wanted to ask him, "What's that cologne you're wearing?" but I didn't.

I have a cologne called John varvatos vintage. Every lady that said something said they could smell it all day everyday. Everyone likes it. I don't really wear cologne anymore. It's also like the more the day goes by the better it smells.

My Bad it's not the vintage just john varvatos. Just checked

This was back in my babysitting days, so 1975-1980.

Wow, it just hit me that that was half a century ago... Those little boys could be grandparents by now...

I remember when gas was less than 17¢ a gallon...

And you:

I remember when gas was less than a dollar but not the exact amount

My first car was a 79 Monte Carlo that I got in 1980 and gas was around a dollar a gallon

less or more depending on where you were at , at the self service tanks

And the gas was a good bit more at the full service tanks


Amoco ( my parents had an account with the one station that I used in mobile, Al
and the owner was a mechanic also )
Gulf and Standard when outside of mobile

I remember the 6oz cans of Donald Duck juice costing more than the 12 oz soda in the vending machine

I remember coke in a vending machine for .15cents and went up to .20cents

It's insane that I wouldn't be able to purchase that nowadays, even if it was available. How many people carry dimes and nickels on them!
