I remember roller skate keys. We'd keep the key tied to a shoelace and put the shoelace around our necks like a necklace. I also remember the green stamps and the wax coke bottles. I kinda remember the blue flashbulbs. My mom had a camera that used those.

We used to love the candy cigarettes and pretend we were smoking and cool. Now, my parents would probably be sent to CPS, lol. Also, the Bay Area used to have lots of drive-ins, and we'd have family trips to those. I think I remember hi-fis and 45s too - are those record players and the small records? Saturday Night Fever, the Carpenters, and ABBA were some of the first albums/groups I bought with my babysitting money.

Do you remember the huge advance is photography when the flash was a cube that spun around with each picture taken?

We had an 16mm movie camera with a light bar that could roast a chicken...
