they just pump the gas. it used to be that they'd wash your windshield & check your oil and stuff too. remember that scene from back to the future where someone pulls up to a texaco and like four guys swarm the car? |

Video store's Oakley's Doc Martin's Everclear Lucky Strike's Acid Wash denim Happy Meal's in cool packaging Jockey underwear ad's in People Magazine Those were the first things that came to mind, from my youth. I remember the Happy Meal's coming in styrofoam containers shaped like space ships. Now you get a bag if your lucky. BTW, if your looking for a quick afternoon snack a Happy Meal hits the spot like no other. I never had a pair of Doc Martin's when I was a teen, we couldnt afford them, so I would get a used pair of drop boots from the Army/Navy surplus store. After I went to work full time I bought myself a pair, a green pair. Insanley expensive, they came to just under $100 after tax. I still have them somewhere. |

this thread is like a time machine, here's some more that popped to mind;* On the food front Clearly Canadian Happy Steak Orange Julius Food Stamps Drive through Dairy's The Generic Isle Food stamps in California are issued on a debit card now. They call it Golden State Advantage. I often find myself standing behind someone with an android phone, lots of jewelery, nice clothes and expensive tattoo's using it to buy steak. Grocery store's out here used to have a "generic" isle. The most common goods were on this isle, but they were in plain white packages with black lettering designating what they were. Cola, beer, flour, rice etc. Other items from time long ago; Paper straw's Lead based paint Beeper's Polaroid's Nudity on broadcast tv Polaroid's were a god send. You no longer had to go pick up your pictures and avoid eye contact with the technician. Also, there used to be places called "Photo Hut". They were in parking lots, usally by grocoery stores, very small and they were a place you could drop off film for developing. Late at night and Saturday evening's you could see full nudity, and graphic violence, on broadcast tv. It came with a warning after each commercial break that it had "adult subjects and images, viewer discresion advised", but that was it. I remember the local Fox affilate showing Midnight Cowboy at like 2am. And they showed everything. |
