    My old Sony Walkman cd player...usually had metallica or tool pumping all the way to school and on the way home in the afternoon.

    Rotary dial phones
    8 tracks....my parents had a pretty sweet 8 track player back in the day.
    car windows that you manually roll down....I miss those
    mtv....when they actually played music :grumble:
    My dad still has his "reel to reel" player hooked up!

    leg warmers!!! Mix and match socks, sometimes when I was feeling particularly spunky I would wear 2 pair of ankle socks and interchange the colors. Huge hair. Watching Thriller debut on MTV. Max Headroom.

    I second this: jelly shoes, Trapper Keepers and slap bracelets!

    AND platform sneakers, VCR & Casette tapes, walkmans, platform sneakers (that i got kicked out of gym for wearing), full on bell bottoms, oh the list goes on....

    I must say tho this really reminds me of that song "Back When" by Tim McGraw....

    "Don't you remember
    The fizz in a pepper
    Peanuts in a bottle
    At ten, two and four
    A fried bologna sandwich
    With mayo and tomato
    Sittin' round the table
    Don't happen much anymore...
    Back when a hoe was a hoe
    Coke was a coke
    And crack's what you were doing
    When you were cracking jokes
    Back when a screw was a screw
    The wind was all that blew
    And when you said I'm down with that
    Well it meant you had the flu..."

    lol sorry had to do it :P

    Marathon was a candy bar.

    My sister stole a Marathon candy bar from our grocery store when she was little ... she put it in her white (up to the knee) socks. It came in a red, yellow, orange wrapper and you could clearly see it!! Busted, my mother made her go back in the store and apologize to the manager that she had stolen it. She came out and said he said she could have the candy anyway. Many years later she confessed that she never told the manager at all!!! Right _beachgirl_?????
