I'm so old I Remember when:

[azurbanclucker]

I remember the blue flower print pattern
unbreakable Corning ware

Yea right it was very much breakable

It was more resistant than glass or ceramic because it's made like safety glass. Having said that, when it breaks, it's hundreds of shards.

That reminds me of

I remember when
if you broke a plate
All you had to do was glue it back together

If you broke unbreakable Corning ware
You now had a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle that you swept up and threw away

If you could get all the pieces.

Oh, yes! During summer vacation, our moms gave us money to get them cigarettes out of the bowling alley vending machine while they were bowling with their league... [Juke box playing "Love Child", "Don't Sleep In The Subway Darling", "Baby Love", etc.] We each knew our mothers' brands...

I remember in

1980 when I was working at the drug store
Cigarettes were forty-five cents a pack plus tax
1993 working same drug store $5.25 plus tax

Candy bars were a quarter

Playing 45rpm records on a mono record playe

I remembered my first record player and it came with the 45 record the theme from Perry Mason
And the first 45 I bought was
Rock the boat by the Hughes corporation

If you could get all the pieces.

And if you didn't
later your bare foot would find a sliver

If you could get all the pieces.

That reminds me of mercury-filled thermometers!

 

[sourland]

That reminds me of mercury-filled thermometers!

and playing with the mercury when one broke.

and playing with the mercury when one broke.

Sounds fun.
