Last night was a lot of fun with the old farts going up against the youngsters. Gosh, I wish Paul hadn't lost those posts, but we will always remember the fun we had. Right guys? Anyway, because of that thread, I decided to put this little quiz up. Before you ask, I remembered every last one of them, not just hearing about them. Check it out. :)

My Dad was cleaning out my grandmother's house and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea.
She thought they had tried to make it a saltshaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to "sprinkle" clothes with because we didn't have steam irons.
Man, I am old.

Kat, I remember all but The Ice man and The Rag Man, but then again, you are a bit older than me. However, I'll never hold that against you. :)
 
I told those brats their diapers were wet or dirty. Here's a picture of them. Anyone recognize anyone? :)
 
Why is it I remember all the things that disclose my old age but can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday?

Same reason I guess.
