Dollar movies

I still have those 

[Callaway]

Birthday cakes with coins baked inside. You got to keep any money that you found in your piece of cake. Nothing says safety like baking choking hazards inside food. Gotta love the 70's. 

Oh, I remember some bonbons that I ate in the 70's. They were read and made my shit look like blood. We were on vacation, but my dad drove me over 100 kms home to town to the hospital to find out that it was nothing wrong with me. They don't make any nice colourants that colours your piss and shit anymore either.

My husband's sister sent us a red velvet cake for Christmas that dyed poop red, so I guess they must still make that kind of dye here.

I'm at the cinema, about to show a film about Göteborg's premier football team, IFK Göteborg, and its glorious past. Now, *those* were the days. In 1982 and again in 1986, they won the UEFA cup.

I remember the days when chips are less than a pound... Now just for a portion of chips on its own is £1.30, just too insane.

In the states a pound of chips goes for closer to $4.00

I remember when there were 1, 2, 5, 10 and 25 öre coins and 5 kronor bills but no 10 kronor coins and no 20 or 500 kronor bills.

[midlifeaspie]

I can remember when $2 bills were in fashion.  I can also remember at least 3 separate $1 coins that have come and gone.

A five krona with the old king and two one kronor with the current king. All three are still valid.

Automated drip coffee pots came out?  We never used a percolator, just Mom standing at the stove, dripping the water over the grounds into the white enamel coffee pot.  Dad gave her one for Christmas and she was free, free, free.

 :lol:

And now I use my drip coffee machine as a mere holder for filter and pot, to hand drip my coffee. Because I like the taste better that way.
And I hand whip the milk for it too.

Not an excessive coffee-drinker, but, when I have it, I want it to be the just the way I like it.

I still have my Mom's and her Mom's drip white enamel coffee pots with the hand-made cotton filters for them.

If you got 25 channels in your cable package that was a lot

Cable?  Hell, I remember black and white.  And the little deer lamps that people would put on the TVs so you wouldn't get eye strain in the dark.

I remember when tvs were big enough on top so the cat could sleep on it. That was before we got a video player.

^ I remember when you actually had to get off your ass to change the TV channel and commit to a show before you sat down again.

There was no such thing as channel surfing for any extended period of time!

[renaeden]

Yeah our tv had one of those twisty dials to change the channel. I remember when we first got Channel 10.
