Things Your Kids will never know about

[bluedogok]

8-track tapes and I actually owned a 4-track tape player.

My dad had a 4/8-track player in his old 66 Ford LTD. I still have about 60 8-tracks in the closet.

The Fuller brush man.

The last time that I saw anything "Fuller" was an outlet store in a mall in Wisconsin between Racine and Chicago in 1998. Bought some of their vanilla air freshener spray there since my mother liked it and hadn't been able to find any for awhile.

playing cards in the spokes of your bicycle to give the motorcycle sound

I always thought playing cards made a better sound than baseball cards, but then I was used to two-stroke motorcycles so it was more "accurate" to me.

hand crank copy machines with the drums
That would have been a memograph.

Close, it was a mimeograph but most of the ones used in schools were a small volume spirit duplicator version of a mimeograph.

I still have some memeograph paper. Now, how many of you remember Hectographs?

"Drops"

Wow, that's one I totally forgot about. I remember having to return quite a few when I was in school. Never any fun. Of course you pretty much knew you were though when you had to return it.
