I just turned 40. Hopefully there are some of roughly my age in here. hehe
Anyway, anyone else remember French-rolling their (Girbaud!) jeans, up to or above the ankle, back around 1990 – maybe '89-'92 or so?
And then came Grunge and we all bought Doc Martins, Birks, and flannel shirts.
Hair rock and French rolled jeans to Grunge and flannels… almost overnight, it seemed.
Lobstah and Moxie make a terrific Maine snack. It puts hair on your chest whether you want it to or not.
Jean Shrimpton…Twiggy…Vidal Sassoon haircuts. Giorgios and Fred Hayman. Haight Asbury and loveins. The Brentwood/Bel Air fire. Disneyland with the E tickets in the booklet. Free admission to Knotts Berry Farm. The pride of being called a good citizen.
The Cuban Missle crisis.
The “Dorothy Hamill” haircut.
My grandmother always used Prell and I loved trying it when we’d go to visit. It came in a tube and was such a beautiful green color!

I loved the commercial where they dropped a pearl into a bottle of it to show how thick it was by how slowly that pearl was sinking to the bottom.
The “Dorothy Hamill” haircut. >>>>>>>>>>
I still think it’s cute. LOL. Along with Mary Lou Retton’s.

$100,000 pyramid. It is on tonight at 9pm.
Because that is the way to evaluate a great shampoo, by how thick it is 
I remember a kids TV show (maybe it was local?) where a cartoon character got in peril (need to cross a mountain pass, etc) There was a plastic sheet you stuck to your TV and then you used special crayons to help him out - by drawing in a footbridge or something. Did I dream this?
(C’mon kids, sit right here next to this CRT TV and put your faces right next to it!)
Time Bomb!

You stood in a circle of about 5 or 6 kids and thew it around until it exploded - whoever was holding it was out. Somehow I don’t think it would be PC today.
@surfcity No, you didn’t dream that. I remember it! I grew up in south Jersey so if you were also in that area, it’s possible it was local. Was it called Winky Dink? Not sure why that rings a bell.
@alwaysamom Google is my friend. Although I was not born yet in the dates in this article. Maybe it was revived?
Sinclair Gas Stations w/ the blow up plastic dinosaurs. Slip on sneakers that I can’t for the life of me remember the name of (Cricket?) and they would give you these little clicker things when you purchased them - what were they called?
Johnny Quest - my first crush!
I still have a red transistor radio from a Sinclair gas station that has the dinosaur logo on it. I’m not sure it it was a giveaway or if my father actually bought it. Over the years, it became some sort of family joke/heirloom. When my dad died, I took custody of the radio. I put fresh batteries in it. It gets a vague signal and a lot of static.
Does anyone else remember Romper Room, or was hat a local thing?
Elvis Presley… I just spent some time tonight watching him on YouTube. Those gyrating hips were quite impressive for the time.
NBC soap operas I used to watch during summer break:
Another World (Jake McKinnon was the man! I guess diehards have kept it going online, about 17 years after the show went off the air…)
Santa Barbara - long gone
Days of Our Lives – Bo and Hope, Jack and Jennifer! (this show is still going, though they are at the point where they’re doing annual renewals)
Add-a-bead necklaces.
Luv-it jeans with embroidered/satin decorations on the back pockets - my favorite pair had roller skates.
Famolare sandals with the wavy rubber soles.
Gloria Vanderbilt jeans.
The Saturday morning show “Isis” about a woman with supernatural powers (and some ancient middle eastern connection) - I think it came on after the Hardy Boys show.
Sigmund and the Sea Monsters.
The claymation show “Davy and Goliath” on Sunday mornings.
"Sigmund and the Sea Monsters.
The claymation show “Davy and Goliath” on Sunday mornings."
I definitely remember watching both of these!
Remember when the answer to your question wasn’t immediately at your fingertips?
Any Marylanders out there? Captain Chesapeake and Mondy the Sea Monster.
