I distinctly remember a styrofoam McDonalds container

The one right down the street serves coffee in styrofoam, of course I don't touch that stuff unless I'm in a hurry.

@Sam...You are the exception to EVERY rule...


And...Some of you younger guys are missing the point...Sure, you may not have always had some of these things...BUT, in your lifetime, they were ALWAYS available to you, they existed...

I can remember a time when there were NO microwaves to make popcorn in, AND there were NO plastic bottle caps, as a matter of fact, there were NO plastic BOTTLES....

I still remember the commercial, when they made the first plastic 2-liter bottle...A woman opened the refridgerator to put something in it and a 2-liter bottle fell from the top shelf, in slow motion it went down and hit the floor, the woman gasped...Then it bounced and she grabbed her chest and let out a breath of relief because it didn't shatter...That's how they were marketed, "Shatterproof"

I also remember when there were NO VCRs, CDs, VIDEO GAMES (until Atari came out and blew us away), cable did not exist, and ALL fast food containers were made of styrofoam...

AND...I was braless in 1975....But...I was 7 years old...lol

Yes, yessss, Rayne...

Remember when THE WIZARD OF OZ was the coolest color movie in existence...? They used to run it every year on TV...forget what time of year it was, but my folks would prepare for the occasion by buying some Jiffy-Pop. Jiffy Pop may still exist, but by golly, I don't recall seeing one for years...it was that little aluminum pan with the twisted-up aluminum foil covering. And there was popcorn and salt and oil inside. And you carefully held this thing above your gas flame, not too close because you didn't want to burn the stuff...the popcorn would pop, and the twisted-up foil would then untwist and turn into a sort of popcorn-filled balloon. It looked real neat!

Iffen you reemember that, you are
OLD

Woo hoo!

Haha...Then I am OLD....I could NEVER make Jiffy Pop without burning it...You had to keep shaking it the whole time, and I guess I just could never get it right...THAT was the most innovative, convenient, and fastest way to make popcorn (and really the ONLY other way before the hot air poppers, remember those?), until the microwave came along...

I do remember that. I would look forward to The Wizard of Oz every year...that and Charlie Brown's Halloween & Christmas specials. VHS ruined that.

Actually, guys, you know what's FUNNY about that WIZARD OF OZ stuff? Even though it has all those pretty colors, it's SCARY and DiSTURBING AS FUCK and really isn't too good for little kids to see...well, it bothered me, anyway. Here's a list of things that bothered me...

1. Finding the rusted tin man and oiling him so he could speak. CREEPY!

2. The hourglass that won't turn over. CREEPY DOT COM!

3. Flying monkey attackers. Nufsed!

4. Ripping the scarecrow's guts out and setting him on fire. That's horrible!

5. The witch getting crushed under the house, and her legs shrivelling up, followed by the "Ding, Dong, The Witch Is Dead" song. I'm sorry--too weird, too bizarre. DISTURBING!
