Sheesh some of you guys are so old on here, idk how you figure out how to get on the Internet! 
I remember our first computer (apple of course) that had 256kb of ram. I remember Doritos with the window on the bag. I remember cassette players and had an RCA from Long's. I remember when MTV and VH1 played music. I remember VCRs and watching VHS movies so much they actually wore out and lost the recording. I remember rubber bumpers on cars. Eh that's all for now.

I remember those Doritos bags.
I also remember when the only computer I had ever seen to that point in my life filled an entire room in the basement of our local college.
Of course I remember 8 tracks. And playing actual records on a record player.

And speaking of record players, when I was a kid we had one of those huge units that filled half the room. A serious piece of furniture, about the size of a dresser, yet it had felt/carpet type covers in the front that was over the speakers. It was flat on top like a table, but the top opened up and there was a record player, and radio inside. And a record player that you could load multiple albums on and they would drop down when the next one finished. My parents said I would stand in front of it and dance and sing songs word for word for hours at a time when that thing was playing music. They said it was the best babysitter of all time, lol. I wasn't asking 100 questions a minute when it was playing, I was just dancing and singing.
I think there's a pic of me dancing and singing with it somewhere, I'll have to find it.

I was in a little local grocery the other day and saw a "throwback" bag of taco flavored Doritos with the old logo on it.

Aww the good ol days. When stuff mattered. It was built to last, not engineered to fail after a few years so it can be replaced. Sigh...

my grandmother had one of those huge record player cabinets you're talking about Lee. She never used it, and I thought it was just a piece of furniture for the longest time.

I remember when the first Blockbuster video opened. They had all but 50 movies to chose from. The price to rent a movie was 7 bucks while a VCR was around 500. I remember when CDs used to come packaged in long boxes. I filled my closet saving the boxes. I remember when toys r us used price stickers. I used to peel and swap them to give myself discounts on all the star wars figures.
I remember Texaco, Citco, Stop N Go, Diamond Shamrock, and Albertsons and my frequent hang outs. I remember the first album I bought was Pink Floyd The Wall. It blew my mind that it came with two records. I played that mother out!
Those were the days.

I remember when all of the department stores in the mall had their own toy department and restaurants. My parents would let me look at toys while they shopped. You would see a bunch of kids reading the back of the GI Joes boxes to read the action figures personnel files. You don't see kids read anything anywhere now. Even comic books seem to be a stretch nowadays. They just wait for the movie. Whoops. Got into a rant. I did like the JCPenney restaurant. It was like an old time dinner.

Speaking of beer from another thread I remember when you could buy beer at high school football games.
And most ironically I remember smoking rooms in hospitals and people smoking in the waiting room of the doctors office.

I do remember the smoking rooms in hospitals.
I remember when Godfather's Pizza first started opening up and how popular it was. I loved their pizza back then. Also remember playing Pacman in there at one of those tables you sat down at and the screen was in the top of the table.
