HOW OLD ARE YOU?
My Dad was cleaning out my grandmother's house and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle.  In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it.  I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea.  She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something.  I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to "sprinkle" clothes with because we didn't have steam irons.  Man, I am old.
******************************************************
How Many Do You Remember??

Head lights dimmer switches on the floor Ignition switches on the dashboard Heaters mounted on the inside of the fire wall Real ice boxes [Ask your Mom about that] Pant leg clips for bicycles without chain guards.
Soldering irons you heat on a gas burner.
Using hand signals for cars without turn signals.

I got 6, and also remember the headlight dimmer switches being on the floor board.  But since that one doesn't count...

And I'm just 21.

I remember thinking that the Kodak flashcubes (with 4 little flash bulbs) was the coolest invention yet. Then Polaroid came along with their little 6 flash rig.

I missed only 5...and I'm sure that 2 of those were because I live in Canada. :)

Is that those little disposable flash things?  If so, then that gives me 7.  I wasn't sure if it meant the disposable type flashes or not.
