I'm so old I Remember when:

[MROO]

Here the VFW is a bar with a meeting room.

Here, too - so we were turning those tabs into "the bar" anyway!

Beer too - Carling Black Level - I'm so old I can't remember the price for a six pack.

The price probably depended on if it was a holiday week such as Memorial Day or the Fourth of July.

I remember when I was a teenager laying on a private pier on Dog River at night getting a moon tan

& I remember laying on the beach and swimming in the gulf at night with other kids while the adults were floundering

I remember chicklets

& I remember the colorful flavored gum with stripes with the zebra on the package but I forgot the name and they all taste the same to me

How bout the toe /foot killer if you were barefoot pop tops from can soda / beer cans that some people threw on the ground and then I would step on it

Skinny dipping is a lot of fun! I mean, er, um... so I've heard.

I wasn’t going to say but now that you bring it up
“I mean, er, um… so I’ve heard” also

(thankfully those days are a part of my testimony)

Nope 6 pack of bottles in a cardboard carrier. Canned soda came later as did the plastic can holders.

I remember the 6 pack quart glass bottles of coco cola in a cardboard carrier
