Name one thing from your childhood

Arthster said:

When I moved out of my folks house I found two of them that was still brand new and sealed in the shop cling wrap. Also found a few sealed packs of string.

I have no idea what I did with me but I have been looking for months to find them.

That's exactly why I am looking for them, they where the special coke ones with the see through red rings. a guy at a toy fair offered my 5k for the lot... that's allot of vape kit.

The real ones that lasted forever. If the doors and bonnet /boot could open it was a favourite till the next one showed up in a birthday package .

Brothers in law drank this under the big tree in the yard.

MOM loved this , wish it was still available in S.A.

This was normally a sign from one of the brothers in law that they needed something from Dad...

Mom and the maids made lard soap , this took stains out like nothing , not even Vanish.

Wow that's interesting! I'd love to see Monopoly on an Xbox. Actually, I'd love to see an Xbox. Never seen the one that you're talking about (I'm of the um... older generation, shall we say ...) but strangely enough, I have something at home called the X-Box, which is home to any juice which I don't like!

I still have a set which we had in the family - the old Monopoly with Parklands, Mayfair etc etc. I'll get it out of the garage tomorrow and take a pic.

Not only do I remember this, I still see it in my mom's kitchen. Made by General Motors, bought 52 years ago and still in daily use

Stunning. We had a similar one.

And it has a warming draw! I miss that feature. None of the modern under counter ovens have those these days. That’s a separate expensive add-on.

@Asterix I'd forgotten about a warming drawer! I guess we just use the microwave nowadays

Who did this? I used to love it! My Mom put elastic around two chairs so that I could play on my own at home.

Not my childhood, but teenage years

Who remembers these shell ashtrays? My Mom always used to put her rings in it.

My grandfather had one, and it even visited with him, no matter where he went. Ah, the good old days with the good memories. Thanks for the bit of nostalgia @Hooked

These tomato sauce dispensers are still used in Bath Uk.
