All things that aren’t seen anymore
Did you get your World Book Encyclopedia one volume at a time, month by month, from the grocery store like we did?
For that matter, we also had one of those TV stands.
And since I've been digging through a box of these today, I'll add to the list:

No, my parents bought a whole set of World Book Encyclopedia books when I was a kid. We also got the World Book Encyclopedia Cyclo Teacher, which I still have all of that stuff. I did get another set of encyclopedia books one or two books at a time from a super market.
I posted this on another thread but it applies here as well:
One of the last cigarette ads claiming a doctor’s endorsement, this 1954 ad in Life magazine showed Hollywood star Fredric March making this assertion after having read the letter written by a “Dr. Darkis” that was inset into the advertisement.

Well that and regions.
Also used VCRs that were equally happy with PAL and NTSC. But your point stands. Had a lot of work converting standards for people who brought tapes back from the US.
I have N95 masks and I also recently donated 60 new N95 masks to a local free medical clinic.
Luckily, people learned from this and did not fall for doctors recommending narcotics.
Anybody remember charge plates? They were the precursor of charge cards. It was a metal plate stamped with the buyers info that was placed in the press, much like the early credit card press that made two copies with the carbon going to the buyer.
Also, the other day I found an old manufacturers coupon that had punch card holes in it. Read by an IBM punch card reader. I had forgotten about those.

The patent must have been approved. You can still buy them.
I did not know they were originally called Chimp To Chimp.
Can’t Hear anything in space
She's listening to The Fifth Dimension album The Magic Garden. I like her even more now!
