Remember That Certain Thing?

Do kids still have lunch boxes?  Man, what grade school kid in the 80's didnt have a Star Wars, Dukes of Hazzard,  or Pacman metal lunch box?

Soft sided coolers around here. Not cool looking at all.

I have a question for Greg. Greg - if you want to get you a pie from pizza shuttle do you still call 776-5577 or is there just an app for that now or how does that all work? for reference not everyone had smart phones when i graduated they were still just first catching on so the word "app" kind of had a different meaning back then thanks for everything greg let's roll

the correct answer is you call Gumby’s and get a big ass

Lol, not since like 2010

also remember when a huge selling point for cell phones was how many (or few) long distance minutes were included with your plan? i almost can't even wrap my mind around the concept of long distance or collect calls.

Moreover, before everyone had cell phones there were those commercials that would make fun of you for dialing 0 to make a collect call, they would be like dial 10-10-321 or 10-10-9000 idk there were a few companies out there

Ha, yeah I remember the two big 10-10-xxx companies had huge advertising campaigns.  I mean in 1998 it doesn't get much bigger than Lithgow vs Lloyd.

I had my name in Beckett basketball for completing the crossword puzzle and winning a year subscription to it. Top 5 highlight of my childhood.

You remember a lot of details from a world changing event like that.

you may also want to consider that I completed this crossword in a pre-internet-at-steve-dave's-house era. you had to know a lot about sports and sports memorabilia to finish the thing with 100% correctness and spelling. I believe I had to phone my grandfather (long distance) to get his input on a couple old timer questions. when you accomplish something of this magnitude at such a young age and are appropriately awarded for your work it just feels so good guys. I hope each of you get to experience a rush like that at some point in your pathetic lives.

they say smell is most closely tied to memory but i would say 10-10-220 youtube commercials are a close second because my goodness you guys wow

[catastrophe]

Truly an amazing ad campaign especially considering the crap product they were all selling.

I never even used any of those things and yet I felt weirdly loyal to 10-10-220. 10-10-321 could go eff itself for all I cared.

We had a trend in middle school where we would wear basketball cards in hard cases on lanyards. I wore Blair Rasumssen and David Robinson

Tom, when I was in school you could get the NYT for free and I would read that sob everyday and then do the crossword puzzle in class
