I only heard of that on a Steve Geyer bit. Otherwise I would have never thought at all.

Ok, here is another one, anyone remember Crazy Straw at all? The thing would always end up knocking over your drink!



Memaw. -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (8/16/2008 12:25:58 PM)

Crazy Straw!
Yes I remember those, and they were sooo big they did knock over your drink....but they were real cool to blow bubbles with.[:)]



humbleinspirit -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (8/16/2008 12:27:00 PM)

Now blowing bubbles with, I think that I did that, but do not remember though.



Memaw. -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (8/16/2008 12:29:41 PM)

That makes me think of the homemade popsicles that Mom made.
Koolaid, ice tray and toothpicks.

Boy were they good!



humbleinspirit -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (8/16/2008 12:32:27 PM)

Oh, I remember those too!



Annie64 -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (8/16/2008 11:08:26 PM)

I remember stuff we used to use called Pssst. You sprayed it in your hair when you didn't have time to wash it and then brushed your hair. It was supposed to make it look clean when it wasn't. It didn't stay on the market long.



humbleinspirit -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (8/16/2008 11:09:35 PM)

Now I never heard of that one at all, but that is ok.

Anyone remember Simon the electronic game? That was at the tale end of the 70's, maybe the way beginning of 1980 instead.



Annie64 -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (8/16/2008 11:16:30 PM)

Yeah, I remember Simon!



DreadPirateRandy -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (8/16/2008 11:24:23 PM)

I wasn't born in the 70s, but if I were, I would've probably rocked an awesome mullet.



bzirk -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (8/17/2008 7:36:00 AM)

I still have a Simon game, and it still works.

Awesome mullet? Isn't that a contradiction in terms?

I remember that!
It felt like baby powder in your hair...real tacky feeling.

When you can remember where you were when Elvis died.


Sight seeing in Oregon. It was the second day of a family vacation on our way up to Washington. We stopped in Oregon for a few days because my uncle's family (my dads BIL) owned a campground there and my aunt, uncle and their kids went camping there. We got to stay for free because they considered us to be family too. I was either 11 or 12. I think it was '77 so that would've made me 12.

Tupperware had awesome Popsicle trays for Koolaid Popsicles.

If you saved enough Koolaid wrappers and mailed them in, you could get a Koolaid cup! I loved mine! Unfortunately, the dishwasher didn't.

It was definitely '77. It happened a couple of days before I quit my high school job and started my freshman year of college.

What about those clackers? Two gigantic marbles attached together with piece of rope with a ring in the middle. Which child-hating adult came up with that idea as a toy????



Memaw. -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (8/18/2008 9:22:45 AM)

Oh yeah Clackers!
Wheel-O
Slinky

Those were the days of good toys.[;)]



mrsrevbob -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (8/18/2008 9:24:21 AM)

Those hideous buffalo platform sandals. OR< BETTER YET< I remember a pair I wore once for halloween that you could insert water and a goldfish into the platform.

My Mom always grabbed whatever weapon was closest - unfortunately for me it was usually my brother's hot wheel tracks - they really hurt!!! The spatula was the worst, tho.

I found that the fly swatter or Dads' razor strop was quite the reminder as well to not do whatever I was doing again. [8D]

My favorite mags were American Girl & Tiger Beat. I had subscriptions for several years. k

..you can sing along with all of the background songs on commercials--they are the songs we listened to on the radio.

..you know how to use that little adapter that popped into the middle of a 45 so it would fit on the spindle of the turntable of your stero.

..you remember when Count Chocula was a new cereal
