“Do You Remember?”: 40 Pics That Might Not Make Any Sense If You’re Too Young

We didn’t have that bowl - we had grocery store? china. The stuff you got for free as a loyal shopper, one piece at a time. Or was it from the bank? Don’t remember, but I inherited it so it’s in the attic for a later gift to my daughter if/when she gets married. Otherwise she will inherit it from the attic upon my passing.

I don’t remember any records that played at 16 RPM’s, 33 1/3, 45 and 78, but no 16’s.

Oh I'm so happy now!

But why did everyone have that bowl? It's weird. Literally everyone I knew as a child had that bowl and my aunties still do. Why?

Chief’s still serve the salads in them.

My mother used that bowl for the plastic grapes, apples and bananas.

Ditto

“Do You Remember?”: 40 Pics That Might Not Make Any Sense If You’re Too Young

Age is but a number! But if you remember these things, you're probably getting up there...

Funny ...the shop that does my fuel injector servicing always includes two individually wrapped butter-rum lifesavers in the package when they return the injectors. Just got some last week.

I remember those and buying 45s at 7-11.

How about getting a 45 off the back of a cereal box? I remember once cutting out Bobby Sherman's "Easy Come, Easy Go" off of a Sugar Smacks box.

We had I think just one or two 78's in my parent's collection - one was my MOM singing when she was younger and had her own local morning TV show. It was pretty poor quality and the only song I can remember on it was her singing "Paper Moon".

I remember having a 33 1/3 setting on my record player but records that size were before my time. Everything was 45 and LP.

For those wondering why 33 1/3 rpm and not some even number....

33 1/3 or 33.33333333 was chosen to be easy for both 60 Hz power as in US or 50 Hz in most of the world. As a stroboscope could be easily made. 180 dots in a circle gave 33.33333333 on 50 Hz AC and 216 dots for 60 Hz. then RCA invented the 7 inch disc at 45 rpm.

Dad had a collection of old 78s when I was a kid. One of them was "Open the Door Richard". He had given me that one, but I remember accidentally breaking it when I was about 8 or 9. Those 78s were fragile to say the least.

My dad had boxes of them that I had to clean out last year. Found a good home with someone who appreciated the old music. Complete collections in folding binders.

I may still have some in my attic. I believe my 45 collection is up there. They're probably all warped to hell and back.

An LP was 33 1/3

An LP was 33 1/3

That's how long ago it's been

I'm surprised they didn't show an 8" floppy disk. Maybe those aren't old enough.

 

[Clem72]

They forgot the apple pin cushion, cookie tin sowing kit, either a picture or a clock on the wall made from burl wood, and this TV tray.

When I moved out of Leonardtown I threw away a whole unopened box of those.

..., and this TV tray.
