[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 73733, member: 1024"] I'm 38 and when we had pizza from the pizzaria, it was a big deal. We picked it up maybe twice a year and we had soda with it. The only other time we had soda was when we went to a bbq in the summer. McDs or Burger King was a rare thing, too; maybe a few times a year. Friendly's ice cream, in a neighboring town, had a drive in, when it was built and we did that every once in a while, too. I used to be able to go to the corner store and pick up a pack of cigs for my dad for about 35 cents. I can remember when it went up to 50 cents, everyone saying they were going to quit.....didn't happen. Now it's about 5 dollars for a pack! YIKES! Glad I never wanted to even try it. I recently bought, at a garage sale, one of those recipe boxes that were popular back in the 70's. The one that you ordered and then once a month you received another packet of recipe cards. I'm laughing through most of it, because of how much the cuisine has changed. The recipes are very primitive, compared to what we see in recipe books today. They are very "American" and today we see so much European influence. I don't think I would make much of what's in that recipe box, although I can remember some of those items being popular in the 70's. It's neat, though. And gasoline....I used to pay about 10 bucks to fill up my Ford Maverick (okay...laugh all you want, but those cars are still running!). Now, I pay about 60 bucks to fill up my SUV! Sheesh. At least gas prices have come down a little. [/QUOTE]
