Older Than Dirt Quiz

Published on September 14, 2007 in Baby Boomer.

Count all the ones that you remember….not the ones you were told about.

~Blackjack chewing gum

~Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water

~Candy cigarettes

~bunch more…

I remember - really remember - all but two. But I was an exceptionally perceptive child, very aware of my surroundings.

Oh yes, I remember the Wax Coke (lips, too) and the Candy Cigarettes. I know you can still get them, but this also reminds me of orange candy slices because my Grandmother use to keep bags of them in her desk drawer for us grandkids when we’d visit.

Thanks for the link love Mark….

I’d like to think we’re not older than dirt….maybe just peat moss.

I remember all of them, but the Packards & Studebakers I saw were not new and the wringer washer was my Grandmother’s. I must have smoked hundreds of candy cigarettes, but they didn’t lead me to smoke the real things. (Despite what the government says.) It was especially fun to put them in a long cigarette holder.

@Catch Her In The Wry: same here on the washer. I actually owned a Studebaker - a hand me down from my Grandpa.
@Jim: Yeah, but do you know where your car keys are?
