What do you remember that 95% of us have forgotten?

Since I don’t know 95% of you I can only guess…..

Porno films that came with a “free projector”:

Cigarette ads on the rear cover of EVERY magazine:

Is using an ambulance really free in countries with universal healthcare, or are there hidden costs like deductibles that people should know about?

At one time, peanut butter was deemed not to have enough flavor and so Koogle, a flavored peanut spread, was introduced. Similar to Nutella, Koogle lasted into the late 1990s when dietary changes and poor sales rendered it extinct.

A friend and I almost set his house on fire when we were watching one of these and it overheated and melted. I wasn’t allowed to come to his house again because of it even though it wasn’t MY projector.

As a NATO/Ukraine supporter, since you're so blown away and angered by Trump putting Zelensky in his place yesterday, why don't you support the Ukraine by joining the Ukrainian army? There's 200,000,000+ of you. Put your money where your mouths are.

Koogle:

A magazine started in 1951 that highlighted the African American community in the United States in an era where Black issues and people were not reported on in the mainstream. This was a weekly magazine until 2009 and it was in print until 2014. While it’s now in digital form (along with its companion magazine Ebony) The Jet Beauty was one of the few places that attractive African American models could be seen, although the sexist nature of photos was always a minor controversy.

Mimeograph machines:

What do you think of Tesla's Model Y coming in ninth among electric cars sales in Europe?

Copiers were exceptionally expensive when I was a kid and so schools and most businesses used a machine like this if they had to make a small number of copies.

Hmmm…..

What should you do if a police officer comes to your house and asks for someone who doesn't live there anymore?
