This is true nostalgia.

I remember these things! God, I'm old....

#5 I’ve always thought that the pledge of allegiance is kinda creepy and cultish
pugofstardock
As someone who had to use card catalogs and typewriters, I'm glad they are gone and got replaced by advanced tec.
Predicto
The gas prices picture is a photoshop and is complete bullshit
Marine0311
Yep. There also was wasn't that big a difference in price between regular and premium either, about 3 to 5 cents IIRC.
wall2x
#9 what's changed? Ass is still important ?
Ruthniss
Those were some good jeans. It around any more.
JamesJabberwocky
Not an iPhone in sight, that's how we rolled. The cringe.
spudpicker
I hate hearing this crap. "We actually TALKED to each other back then." No, you hid behind your newspaper in the morning and t.v. at night.

Woe to us the millenials who have never eaten cereal from a bowl
seckzie
Yeah how exactly do you millenials eat your cereal these days? Glass? Plate? A quick strong inhale straight from the package? :)

You can still get Jordache at Walmart

Hey Mikey!
GrunticusrulerofRelmz
Fantastic! I remember every single one. Born in 1950.
Roseluck912
Ah yes, the good old days of shit audio quality, far more rampant racism, forced jingoism, no internet or Netflix... good times.
jjReactionBeast
Guess you had to live it, they were absolutely great times
Roseluck912
I’m gay, so nah fam. They WOULDNT have been good times for me.
InhumanDookieCannon
I can still smell the library card catalog

I love mine.

That's magical.

The gas prices slapped me hard straight off the bat

Forgot it was nostalgia day and thought a storm blew off the dollar numbers.

Depending on the year of that photo that may not be all that different from today's gas prices, accounting for inflation.
Romale
Gallon of gas in 76 was .0044 ounces of gold. Today is .0024 ounces of gold.Average wage in76 was 70 ounces/y, today average wage 51 ounces
SuperPickle17
good thing we don't use gold as a standard.
MrJoker7
LiveLongAndMuddleThrough
God I hate this, especially #5. My kids still do the pledge in a public elementary school, and we live in a fairly progressive area.
MusterTheRohirrim
I never questioned it as a kid, but sometime around high school I started realizing how damn creepy it is.
Unclemuscles09
Kids don't realize what "I pledge ALLEGIANCE to the FLAG" means. Start doing it while they're young & they won't realize they had a choice
TheDuke0fHazzard
The point is that the flag is one of few things we have in common. Despite race, religion, gender, we're all Americans under the same flag.
FlyYouFLCL
If they'd remove the "Under God", part, wouldn't be as much of an issue, which they added to it during the Cold War.
ShawnSpencerPsychic
I think it's still a pretty big issue that we're making kids pledge their allegiance every morning.
Filanwizard
LOTS of people flip when we want "Under God" removed yet its not in the original text. Was cold war fear mongering that created that line.
RNeao
Having our kids mindlessly chant a pledge of allegiance every schoolday from 5-18yo is the weird part imo, not the "under god".
YouTubeRedIsNotRedTube
#9 Jordache ash is always in style.

Hey Mikey he likes it

1960's. I was there. It rocked. Except for the shitty stuff.
SuperPickle17
Kids these days with their damn advance civil rights.
awkwardatparties
I hated those ring toss toys. Somehow, I always had one of those in my toy box.
slinkiisu
yes let us all sing out alliegance to a FUCKING CLOTH. Still, nostalgic.

Yeah and its bullshit nationalist propaganda made up by a preacher to ostracize immigrants

I am glad schools cant force kids to say that crap anymore.
LoligoTX
A socialist minister, even!
Grudgebearingmidget
I didn't mind the pledge, I always minded the "Under God" part though, decided I didn't like god pretty early on.
MoogieMomm
These are fantastic, brings back memories. Thanks for sharing these. +1

Ah the ring toss game...
FiestaCamel
Ive said this before I wish I could go back but as a brown person I dont think I would enjoy it as much as I think
spudpicker
Nostalgia is fine, but there's no time period in the history of the world that I'd rather live in. Except for maybe 3 or 4 years ago.
JamesJabberwocky
That's just because people tend to sugarcoat the past. We only remember the good times. Think Medicine, Civil rights, Safety in general...
Midgarmerc
just look at that classroom pic. guaranteed black kids werent eve allowed in that room
JamesJabberwocky
Yup. And talking about soemthing other than the color of our skins for once: Health care was abysmal, toxins were everywhere 1/2
JamesJabberwocky
Education was terrible, led paint, prejudice, war, propaganda, etc. etc. etc.
SuspiciousCactus
It would be great if we could take the best parts of old times but still keep the good stuff from now. Like Civil Rights.
SnakuPlisskin
I mean we're still working on Civil Rights
makeiteasykeepitsleazy
Yeah the time periods I’d wanna back to as a woman are pretty limited. I’m rather partial to the advances we’ve made politically/medically.
timeisrelative
Too bad poor Mikey passed too soon from mixing pop rocks and Coca Cola.
jayzee2912
John Gilchrist aka Mikey isnt dead. The pop rocks and soda death was just a Myth
jayzee2912
Funniest part about that commercial is the other two boys were his real brothers one being name Tommy the other's name was Mike lol
prettysnarky
Oh man, THAT comment brings back some memories! :)

Is there no more cereal
MysteryHamSandwich
Can’t tell it it’s Cinnamon Toast Crunch but they did lose two of their chefs at some point. And the one that stayed went crazy.
MrSaturday
Dark times have befallen us.
Uglymermaid
it was banned last year anyone caught with cereal is sacrificed to the Old Gods
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
It's Mikey. He likes it.
darxide
Not since the war.
HannibalPoopsPeople
Also, do kids not do the pledge of allegiance anymore? Now that I say it as an adult, it seems kind of...weird
CharlesNelsonReilly
Pretty sure they still do
cnutmuffin47
We do.
wretchednetch
There is. But now people actually put their cereals before their milk
CashWiley
Ask Mikey, he doesn't like anything.
ferb444
He likes it!! Hey Mikey!!!
ultraronbun
Looked it up and now I understand.
irregularExpression
omg, is that the legendary "Mikey"?? I've been saying in shock that he like things for years but have never seen his face!
uberasshole
Yeah and I remember bitching about those gas prices lol .
Zeldon567
Gas Buddy app. You're welcome, everyone.
shapeofthingstocome
FunkBlack
Yeah but inflation also has contributed to this higher prices.
rando84
In 20 years, buying gas at all is going to be the nostalgic thing to remember.
SardonicGrin
Yeah but minimum wage was like $3.25. And you were living in high cotton at $10/hr.
ThatJerkOnTheInternet
I started driving in 2008, Gas is cheap now compared to then. Although to never bothered me as I get ~25-30mpg in my honda.
wilsonGod
About 2.70 - 2.90 here in Phoenix
bringbakfirefly
I remember going out to the movies an hour away with a friend and $10 was enough for gas and the movie.
shutupthisisreal
lotsofthingsinplaces
Cheapest I remember was $0.67 back in 1999 when I first started driving. I could fill up my little Honda for like $7.
uberasshole
I started driving in 1992 and it was $0.50
itsreallyhardtofindausernamethatisnttaken
Back when working one hour at minimum wage almost filled a tank.

*Cries in European*
alexburgers
Paid $7.25 a gallon yesterday. :(
EdwardStarsmith
My first job was pumping gas. We charged 24 cents a gallon and we were the most expensive place in town.
BigRedMonkeyButts
Go back to the home, Grandpa.

BigRedMonkeyButts
lol. thanks for taking that in the general good-natured badgering way that it was intended
Trimule
Often only one guy had a car-4 pals out for the night-"Quarter up! Come on-Quarter up!" $1= 4 gals of gas for the driver for use of the car
Sneemaster
How expensive was gas during the oil embargo?
lebowskisd
"ok google"
EdwardStarsmith
With the OPEC embargo my main job was making sure no one broke into line. Our prices got up to 49 cents, if I remember correctly.
rainyrivers
I'm in SF Bay and started driving 18yrs ago. Gas was $1.09 the winter I started driving. I paid $4.31 yesterday :(
WolvenOps
Yeah no kidding, everything here seems like a dollar more than other states. Saw an episode of Grand Tour and gas in NY was cheaper there :(
CastleIsGreat
Yikes gas is 2.30$ in Louisiana.
peeeopeepeee
Damn, Illinois here and I paid $2.58 three days ago
rainyrivers
My aunt is in GA and we visited in the middle of Oct. I paid $2.31 and almost cried
rainyrivers
It was only $3.97 here at the same time :/
Macewindow
Same here in Ohio
KingOFrod
3.40 in the City :(
TheMagicAss
So its about one euro for litre. Cheap ? If I convert our prices to freedom units and $ its $7.35 here.
pandorafalters
But you can actually get reasonable vehicles with better economy than 6-8 L/100km.
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
You ought to be able to do that also.
pandorafalters
You'd think that. You'd be wrong, though.
S1enderDan
$7.35 that's cute **laughs in Asian**
slothyslothysloth
Ouch. I thought Canadian gas was pricey
rainyrivers
Oh yeah AUS, is way pricier too. But we have shitty public transit here so it's difficult to not have a car.
IBrewLiquidGold
Mate I’m on the GC and prices just plummeted. Filling up with 91 @ 127.3 (for anyone reading, last week they were at 167.9)
TheMagicAss
What public transport? None to be seen here either. In middle of Finland. Population density is so low :)
Perkunas687
And that's the way Finland likes it.
beatlestarbearlactica
I miss Finland.. Get me a lake with a sauna.
rainyrivers
Yeah, but there are 10 million people in the greater Bay. We shouldn't have shitty transit
becausefukyouthatswhy
What does the 9/10 mean at the end?
SmileAndWaveBoysAndGirls
9/10ths of a cent. Not sure why they do it.
awsome101
When gas was just a few cents per gallon (in the 30s ish), it was used to charge partial cents per gallon, like 4/10 of a cent, carried over
thatfucknguy
Nine tenths of a penny. Basically they're charging you 1 extra cent more than you assume looking at the price. $3.99/gal is actually $4
becausefukyouthatswhy
So why don't they just write .549?
thatfucknguy
Would make more cents to just take it to 2 decimals like everything else, but then they can't take that sneaky penny with every gallon
alexburgers
The US likes using confusing numbers instead of the decimal system.
DougForcett
Brags about not having iPhones and immediately shows two images of things that the iPhone/smartphone made obsolete.
drdavessardogs
Children and Jordache Jeans?
Abbeel
I had to scroll back up because I thought you were referring to the children pledging allegiance.
FunkyPenguin
Also stupid. If they’re claiming that they wouldn’t have used cell phones even if they existed then, they’re lying to themselves.
fr1080f
Same logic applies to kids these days using technology that hasn't been invented yet.
DuckPlanetKing
I don’t think he was bragging. It’s called nostalgia.
erischilde
I would have upvoted if that wasn't there. Arguably tech made some of these things better.
Klingon00
Tape player, telephone booth, record player, card catalog.
Klingon00
And to some extent that typewriter too.
CashWiley
People didn't spend their days staring at a phone booth tho
CashWiley
Ooh, triggered. Nice.
CdotFalcon
Newspapers
Flustercuck
Lots of people spent their whole week splicing together recorded tapes though. Or fastforwarding to the "good part"
HeGotWeirdFetishes
I don't think people nowadays do that tho. I don't know anyone that antisocial.
Krankt
Hey, don't come in here with that, those dang millennial are addicted to technology and it's killing the country!
HeGotWeirdFetishes
Yeah, they're killing the diamond industry. What a shame
