    Working my way through this thread and finding it very funny. You know you are old if you remember ...

    Milk was delivered to your front door every morning. It came in bottles that were placed in a metal box on your porch. Driver always wore a white jacket and he was called the milk man.

    There were no disposable diapers. Used diapers were put in a pail, to be washed by mom and reused.

    Do you remember when the Polaroid camera came out? Wow you are old, as the first commercial ones came out in 1948. But like many, I remember them having big surges in popularity during the 70’s. They used a new category of film named instant film, that included chemicals for developing the picture. 8 Sheets of film came in package for $6, and double packs carried 16. First marketing push was in 1971 when Walmart introduced a Polaroid model for $19.99 and new color film was introduced costing $4 for package. In the late 70’s a popup model of the camera was marketed and it was called a land camera (whatever that is).

    You know you are old when ... you remember this hot mess when it was a new game show. Show started in 1966 and while 9 tv stars were used, the cast changed quite a bit. The show featured old man humor and the center square was reserved for the big star. Those included: Paul Lynde, Joan Rivers, Whoopi Goldberg and Martin Mull.

    Quoted from SteveO:

    Growing up, everyone had outdoor Christmas lights that had real bulbs. As kids, we would take a couple bulbs off someones strings. They made loud noises when you smashed them.

    And each bulb was a single color. No rgb technology and we didn’t care.

    Quoted from RTS:

    You were obviously a rich kid.
    We only had rocks. And we felt lucky to have them.

    Oh, you had rocks? All we had were memories.

    You know you are old when lighting your birthday cake is a high risk proposition.

    When even pinball machines themed around Stranger Things, Rick and Morty or Toy Story don't get you excited.

    Quoted from o-din:

    ...when you have had more than 5 free birthday dinners at Dennys.

    You convinced me with the first birthday dinner at Denny’s. Five dinners makes you ancient.

    Quoted from pinzrfun:

    You know you are old if....you confuse an escalator for an elevator.....

    ... so that’s the way an escalator is supposed to work? Looks like I’ve been missing all the fun and will have to try it out.

    When you spend more time napping than doing. It hasn’t happened to me yet, but average # of naps/day is approaching 1.
