Like these

I remember girls wearing those with tube tops.

Isn't it funny how a pretty young lady can wear just about anything and make it work?

People knew the best way to settle things back then. And weren't afraid to say it. Today that would be an ad for a law firm.

We only settle things online and ad hominem.

In an unrelated "things we don't see anymore" note... I WAS that guy getting sand kicked in his face, and I DID send away for Charles Atlas program. And they wrote back saying I was too young for them to send me their material.

About 45 years later, at the age of 52 I actually think I'm in better shape than the guy in that picture. He was my inspiration though. I guess charles atlas worked after all. Now if only I could find that a-hole who was kicking sand in my face...

In a similar vein, anyone remember Bosco chocolate syrup?

How about Fire Chief and Sky Chief gasoline at Texaco, where they gave out S&H Green Stamps?

When I was growing up, every year my dad had to take each of our vehicles in for an annual "safety inspection". It was the law in our state. You had to go to a state-certified mechanic and he'd check your tires, brakes, exhaust system, lights, etc. I don't remember how much it cost but if your car passed, you'd get a sticker you had to display in your windshield. This had to be done every year, just like with license tags, and you could get fined if you got pulled over without having a sticker or the one you had was out of date.

That law went away in our state quite a few years ago and you can sure tell by some of the wrecks you see people driving around. I'm pretty sure a few other states still have this requirement but it's been years since I've seen one of those "approved" stickers on a vehicle windshield anywhere.

Every state in New England (Maine, N.H., Vermont, MA, CT, & RI) require your vehicle to pass an annual Safety Inspection.

Yup! I've even still got the robot (five lions became Voltron) somewhere. Speaking of giant robots, anyone remember Force Five? Different show each day of the week: Monday was Danguard Ace, Tuesday: Starvengers, Wednesday: SpaceKateers, Thursday: Grandizer, & Friday was Gai King.

The die-cast metal robots that went with the show were Shogun Warriors.
