    They sold candy and gum to children that looked like cigarettes and cigars (the candy had a powder on it that looked like smoke when you blew on it) 🤨

    I remember when tickets to big name concerts were really affordable. Like Tori Amos or Beastie Boys for $15 and Lollapalooza for $30-50 depending on which section. And this was 90s to early 00s, not talking about 50 years ago or anything.

    Self-service at gas stations was unusual. Most stations had attendants who would as a routine check your tires and oil while pumping your gas (which was 20 cents a gallon at that time)

    When kids played war with toy guns and nobody worried about it because everyone including the kids knew the difference between play and the toy and a real gun and real war.

    I remember when listening to popular music made you want to hug somebody, instead of today's stuff that seems to make people want to shoot somebody.
