Wediger. This was one of those mass e-mailings from a relative.  

Apparently some Baby Boomers lamenting their age.  

Older Than Dirt Quiz. Count all the ones that you remember.

1. Blackjack chewing gum
2. Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water
3. Candy cigarettes
4. Soda pop machines that dispensed bottle
5. Coffee shops with tableside jukeboxes
6. Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers
7. Party lines
8. Newsreels before the movie
9. P.F. Flyers
10. Butch wax
11. Telephone numbers with a word prefix Capital 4-4374 (CA4-4374 or 744-4374)
12. Peashooters
13 . Howdy Doody
14. 45 RPM records
15. S&H Green Stamps
16. Hi-fi's
17. Metal ice trays with lever
18. Mimeograph paper
19. Blue flashbulb
20. Packards
21. Roller skate keys
22. Cork popguns
23. Drive-ins
24. Studebakers
25. Wash tub wringers.

If You remembered 0-5 = You're still young.

If You remembered 6-10 = You are getting older.

If You remembered 11-15 = Don't tell your age.

If You remembered 16-25 = You're older than dirt!

I suppose if one remembers President Truman, then a high score is likely. So yeah, I'm in there with Gmann.

As #1, Blackjack chewing gum, is the ONLY one I don't remember, I don't want to talk about it.

I am lying down with a cold cloth on my forehead.

My Dad was forever trying to foist Blackjack off on us young'uns when ever we asked for chewing gum       Think that is why I am not a big chewing gum fan to this day, I'm still scared that I'll get a piece of that god awful tasing stuff.     And I think that puts me beyond Daffy    

Move over Daffy, I need to chill....

When I was a baby we were so poor that they used newspapers for my diapers.  I still have “Roosevelt wins again!” across my belly.

You young whipper snappers probably don’t even remember when you had to have tokens to buy gas for the car, and when you had to patch your own inner tubes when you got a puncture!

BTW
What was the slogan for Fisk tires?

Butch Wax.... Think of 2 week old Jello          Really messed up the pillow case..  Wore that hair cut for 20+ years...  Till I met my bride who convinced me to 'grow it out'....  Dad thought I was surely on the road to Hell in a hand basket....

I remember all...like it was yesterday,,,except the phone #'s.

I (oh lordy) remember "Number Please" and party lines.
Could it be genetic memory?  

...I liked Blackjack.
Didn't use butchwax...Vaseline did the trick until I grew a pony tail.

Yes I used only Royal Triton 30w in my 1950 Packard straight 8 cyl. 2 door.

Whose advertising line was “Tough, but Oh so gentle.”
hint, you can still find re-prints of their ads, available on the net.
