Came across this recently, and was reminded that not only am I now old enough to remember this McDonald's commercial when it originally aired back in 1969, but also realized how many younger people there are now on the planet that no doubt would laugh at the idea of a single dollar EVER meaning ANYTHING to ANYONE.....and laugh even harder at the idea that getting a small amount of CHANGE back from your one dollar purchase to put into your pocket, was once ACTUALLY considered an added "bonus" and not just an annoyance !!   www.bionicdisco.com/2022/06/24/70s-commercials-mcdonalds-orange-plus-lux-allerest-1971/Another Interesting McDonald's Video From 1972: SAVE FERRIS

Happens virtually any time I watch any TV program from the late Sixties to mid-Seventies; whenever there's a sequence involving a character grocery shopping or suchlike, I'm always floored anew to recall what prices were back then (like steak, around a dollar fifty or so per pound in 1975--and that was considered outrageously expensive!).

I remember when cereal came in a box without that sealed plastic bag.

Unless you are 70+ its moronic to say you feel old.

When I realise that I’m older than Roger Moore was when he finally realised he was too old to play James Bond. |

I remember when cereal came in a box without that sealed plastic bag. My brain can't handle that concept. I'm sure Tylenol was once sold without any seal also... which would be a hard no from me too.

Anything from the 90s era makes me feel VERY old. Can't tell you how many times I've found myself thinking, " Oh, from the 90's.....so, not that long ago.....", before realizing that that decade is now MORE THAN 30 YEARS AGO (part of it, anyway) !!  SAVE FERRIS

A couple months ago a 24(?) yr old colleague at work didn't know who Steve Jobs was when I mentioned him.
