Weren't these mail order items?
Stop making me feel old gawddamnit! Ah Tang, the taste of "something stirring in the morning" as the advert used to go. They still make it ya know, if you can't get any over there I'll send you some. They still make Space Food Sticks and freeze dried icecream as well.....and we drank TANG, and i remember ESSO and ARCO, and dial telephones .......
We only cared about Astronaut Ice Cream. It tastes like shit but it's bad ass.
Speaking of phones, who here had a regular phone with like a 20 foot cord? When I was a teenager we had one. And my mom would STILL scream at me "don't stretch the cord!!!"

And yes I remember ESSO (and the ESSO Tiger) as well as rotary dial telephones.
I lived that as well...but way before I was a teenager.OH and when I was a teenager, there were only 5 digits in phone numbers.....yeah beat that !
who remembers whizzers and sizzlers ?
The greatest backyard game ever:
Oh yeah, we had those. We also used to buy bottle rockets and use glass Coke bottles to launch them directly at each other. It was only slightly less dangerous than Jarts. Funny, none of us ever got seriously injured. Well, except for Chad. A bunch of us were playing war one day in the woods and we were having an acorn fight. One of the kids was an ass so Chad started throwing rocks at him. That kid was also slightly insane so he went and got his BB gun and damn if he didn't shoot Chad in the hand. I had to remove the BB. Bled like a sumbitch. So in retaliation we poured gas on that kid's bike tires and seat and handgrips and set it on fire. It was war, after all.
