Sing along with Mitch (Mitch Miller show with the little bouncing ball so you could sing along)
Elvis and the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show
Gas for 17-19 cents a gallon
Thinking the new 16 oz bottles of pop/soda were cool cause there was way more than enough pop/soda for 2
The 6 packs of quarts bottles of pop/soda was a lot of pop/soda

Feel free to add any odd things you remember

What a nice thread, nicelady. Thank you.

Do you remember when...

People over the age of 21 were addressed as Mr., Mrs. or Miss;
Stores were closed on Sundays;
Driving was sometimes done for pure pleasure;
People went out at night to watch satellites, especially Sputnik?

Do you remember when Donavon Baily won the gold medal for Canada in the 100 metre dash, during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta?

That's what got me onto those carrot sandwiches. Donovan Bailey and Ray Davies were my role models. I wanted to be like them and look like them. My goal was to look small and athletic. I even lost weight, the December of 1996 out of all the months of the year.

Yep I remember all of that.

I also remember a time when you would call someone on the phone and you never ever had to ask, "Where are you?"

When Disney was known for making animated children's movies.
When the History Channel was actually about history, not Armageddon and conspiracy theories.
When gasoline was about a dollar a gallon.
When the majority of people would laugh at anyone who suggested the Mayan calendar was proof the world would end in 2012 (but only because everyone thought Y2K would be the end)
