Some payphones are still around, but most of them are busted in this era where everybody has at least one smartphone.
And if you ask kids today who used to change in a phone booth, I’m pretty sure they will have no idea.
The five and dime store
There was a time when a store full of things that cost five or ten cents existed.
These days you have to go to the dollar store for cheap, easily breakable items.
Using knobs on the TV to change channels
Can you believe that you used to have to turn a knob to change the channel on the TV?
Luckily, they didn’t have thousands of channels back then.
Silly Putty
Some things do last forever. Silly putty was a hit with the kids in the 1950’s, I played with it as a kid in the 1990’s, and it is still around today.
It just goes to show how the simplest products can produce the greatest pleasure, no matter when they were invented.
Patterned vests
Three-piece suits include a vest, but at least it is a nice solid color with no pattern. but Some vests are meant to be a fashion piece that is worn sans jacket.
Vests are a silly item of clothing with no real function, but patterned ones are truly hideous. There is no human being good looking enough to pull this one off.
