Funny Face (the other kool aid kind of drink) choo choo cherry, goofy grape, et al

Radios with tubes - transistor radios were a big deal when I was in grade school. And cassette tape decks were like IPods of today (except they had to be plugged in).

Telephones with 4 prong plug-ins, rotary dials and sharing your phone line (party lines).

Leaving your house and car unlocked all the time if you were small town or rural.

Drive In movies.

29 cents for a gallon of gas. 10 cents for an ice cream.

Bad things - out of control teachers and administrators using corporal punishment. As a 7th grader I watched a teacher break a full sized paddled over the backside of an honors student. Disagreeing with them was a bad idea.

Going anywhere in town or the surrounding countryside alone as a kid. We were warned about strangers but no one kept us on short leashes and there wasn't much reason to.

No bike helmets, no knee pads, no over protection. We climbed trees, jumped through hay shoots and off 2 story walls and lived with whatever scrapes we got.
