How old am I.... Well I was at the game the Cleveland Browns won the world championship.......I was 10 years old in 1964....by the way they beat Baltimore...Colts that is.....That will probably be the last time I see the Browns as champions of the NFL......
Probably true, but hard to find in frozen concentrate version at a reasonable price. Most (not all) Walmarts hereabouts stock only the pulp-free version.
That older CorningWare is great stuff, far better in terms of quality and usefulness than the newer items. Take good care of that puppy.
Old enough to remember when a pack of Old Gold's and a gal of "regular" was 16 cents. My 38 Ford coupe, once owned by moonshine runner, used so much oil I'd used old oil that I drained out of customers new cars. Back then (late 40's) they often changed every 1000 miles and I worked at local groc/svc store during high school. LOL

The horror!
Yes but you have to be alert. Some products use a fake pulp. I’ve seen it including one major brand of frozen juice.
I think that’s going too far.
I remember prices on products were done with little labels from price guns. Cash registers were manual and the cashier had to count the change back properly. The register didn’t tell the cashier how much change to give back either.
Some discount food store required shoppers to pick up a grease pencil to write the prices on things. A youngster today will have no idea what a grease pencil is.

I guess I'm ancient, 100% here.

100% even had American Chop Suey at school lunch pictured. My mum had an unfortunate phase with those wine coolers (finished a 4 pack a night for bit).

When I was a kid (under 12yo) mom smoked and bought cartons of cigs for about 25¢ a pack.
I remember seeing people with white t-shirts and a pack of cigarettes rolled up on the short sleeves. People would also take their lit cigarette and put the ashes in the bottom pant leg where the cuffs were. My grandpa would have a coffee can to spit his snoose or chew into. People were really kind of gross with cigarettes and chew in those days. It was common to see people with cigar burns on their clothing too. Yuck.
I fart dust.
I recall paying about $.34 / pack about 1969, in a higher tax state. $.25/pack in the South. In the Navy, outside the US, a carton was $1.50.
The legal purchase age in my home state was 16 until sometime in the 80's. It was hardly enforced.
When everyone in the obituaries is younger than you, you are OLD.
