OLDER THAN DIRT?


Today's humorous story actually comes in the form of a quiz. How many of these do you remember ?

   1.   Bazooka chewing gum
   2.   Little wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water inside
   3.   Television broadcasts ending at night and not coming on until late morning
   4.   Soda pop machines that dispensed bottles
   5.   Hamburger joints with table side jukeboxes
   6.   Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers
   7.   Telephone "party lines"
   8.   Newsreels shown before the movie
   9.   Butch wax
  10.   Telephone numbers with a word prefix (Olive-6933)
  11.   Peashooters
  12.   The Howdy Doody Show
  13.   45 RPM records (and record players)
  14.   S&H Green Stamps
  15.   Television test patterns
  16.   Metal ice trays with levers
  17.   Mimeograph paper
  18.   Blue flashbulbs
  19.   The Amos and Andy show (radio or TV!)
  20.   Roller skate keys
  21.   Cork popguns
  22.   Drive-in theaters
  23.   Studebakers (they were automobiles)
  24.   Wash tub wringers
  25.   The television day beginning and ending with The Star Spangled Banner

       If you remembered 0-7, you're still young (ish)
       If you remembered 8-14, you're getting older
       If you remembered 15-20, don't tell your age
       If you remembered 21-25, you're older than dirt!
