With us it was countertops and coordinating appliances.

Not my cuppa, but the parental units liked it.

Which puts me in mind of something else from the 70s that no longer exists, though this I miss...

Great ads.

When NHL hockey was far more of a game, even though there were corrupt characters like Alan Eagleson and Harold Ballard around back then.

I should have said "complete respect". You always have some people who respect the flag at these games, but it used to be that everyone there respected the flag.
