Yeah. We bought a home last year and I was really "worried" about whether or not we'd get trick-or-treaters. After living in an apartment for like 9 years and getting exactly 1 family of kids over that span come to my door, I was hoping for 20 kids but I think we got probably 60+ which was awesome. And it was spread over a few hours so I got to sit out front and get my drink on and scare kids all night. It was awesome. I live in a lower-middle-class neighborhood (maybe middle-middle) so a lot of the kids who came by also happened to be parents. lol.

Make sure you decorate your house and make it very obvious that you have candy and are in the spirit. We set chairs out front and had out bowl out there with scary music playing and all that ****. Halloween is the ****ing best day ever.

I could have said rioting, but now I'd be telling a lie

My house gets 250+ kids on Halloween. I give out 4 bags of Costco Halloween candy every year.

We get the good candy but I watch it like a hawk.

wonder balls

Wow, you're right these things used to be on all the time. Once of the last ones I can remember were the ones with Carrot Top lol. Like this one:

Lots of kids playing out in the streets. Seemed like there were always big groups (always more then 5) of kids playing or walking out in the street me included. Now in neighborhoods the streets are pretty empty. Guess everyone is busy with video games and tv.

Tiger wristwatch electronic games. I'm going to drink some Sunny Delight now.

- Styrofoam food containers from fast food restaurants.
- Leaded fuel.
- Great saturday morning cartoons.
- Original McDonald's milkshakes (I want to shoot the f'er that invented triple-thick chemistry poopshakes)
- Lego toys in my happy meals!

LOL, ignorance.

How long ago did they switch to real ice cream shakes?

I had one a couple of weeks ago and it wasn't bad but the original was soooo good.

When I worked for McDonalds they used fresh meat for the burgers.

Don't care to debate the merits of whether or not it is good for you. I only know that corn syrup gives me massive heartburn, even if it is in juice, thus it is "crap" in my experience.

Back to the thread:





I'm sure there are still address books and tie dyed shirts, but they were quite ubiquitous back the the early 90s and before.

hippies still wear those shirts, kinda doubt they own address books though

Urinalysis?

Tie die is still around a little, but how about those t-shirts that changed color?

Meanwhile, lol at anyone who thinks corn syrup tastes different from, or effects one differently from, sugar.

This still contains no analysis. I'll start.

For one, there is a difference between sucrose (cane sugar) and glucose, maltose, oligosaccharides, and fructose (all potentially in corn syrup). There is a growing body of work (Medscape article here, free registration required)that shows that these different sugars do in fact affect many people differently, perhaps as much as 15% of the population.

I don't wish to derail, but these sugars do taste different and they certainly do affect a significant minority of the population people differently.

Shorts that are actually short...



Sporting heros/Prime Ministers who are adored for their beer drinking exploits...



Hungry Hungry Hippos...

Reebok Pumps...



TV shows based around Helicopters...

Can't find an image of them, but umbrella pants, like what MC hammer used to wear.

Remember shaving lines in your hair?

When you can't safely stuff anything and everything in your mouth, you actually pay attention to the chemicals that go in.

Nutrition is about as scientific and dogmatic as religion.

Next, they'll tell you and I that we are too extreme in our dieting, despite doctor's orders to not go near the stuff. LOL @ anyone that thinks X is different that Z.

I guess they still exist, but pneumatic tubes at drive-up teller stations. Come to think of it, I can't think of the last time I saw a drive-up teller either.

I see at least seven everyday on my way to work.

Major League batters without batting helmets.

Goal posts on the goal line in the NFL.

3 to make 2 free throws in the NBA.

Golf spikes.

Leaded gasoline.

People without tattoos.

The milkshakes were switched a few years back. My favorite as a kid was strawberry. I would freeze it on Friday and eat it watching cartoons on Saturday, oh the memories!
