Remember when ice was usually sold at gas stations and it was sold in blocks

Remember when they were called service stations instead of gas station.
You pulled up they took your money filled up the tank and washed your windshield checked your oil and tire pressure while the take was filling. I'll bet there are some folks here young enough that they never saw a service station.

Remember when back in the 70's here in the US gas pumps were for a short time set to pump liters instead of gallons.

YES!

i remember the big metric scare and some things converted, like coke !

Then they said *oh heck that's too much work*

Canada is in metric which is actually WAY easier. When i first got here and saw the gas station sign *1.79* i said WHOA is that ever cheap!

When some folks had bubble lights on their xmas tree. The bulb would heat up the colored water and it would bubble in the colored lights , it was pretty cool.
