Older Than Dirt Quiz

Editor's Note:  My friend Maury seems to take unending delight in reminding all of his old friend just how old we are.  While taking this little quiz count all the ones  you remember - not the ones you were told about.   Ratings at the bottom. 

Oh yeah.....I remembered all but Blackjack chewing gum,  so I looked it up and saw the picture and then remembered it.  I forgot it because it tasted like licorice.  I hated licorice.  I also remember early TV shows were only 15 minutes long. 

1. Blackjack chewing gum
2. Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water
3. Candy cigarettes
4. Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles
5. Coffee shops or diners with tableside jukeboxes
6. Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers
7. Party lines on the telephone
8 Newsreels before the movie
9. P.F. Flyers
10. Butch wax
11.. TV test patterns that came on at night after the last show and were there until TV shows started again in the morning. (there were only 3 channels...[if you were fortunate])
12. Peashooters
13. Howdy Doody
14. 45 RPM records
15.S&H green stamps & Triple-S Blue stamps
16. Hi-fi's
17. Metal ice trays with levers to release the ice cubes
18. Mimeograph paper
19. Blue flashbulbs
20. Packards
21. Roller skate keys
22.Cork popguns
23. Drive-in theaters
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'm older than dirt but those memories are some of the best parts of my life.
