1 Indoor smoking..........I guess that's a good thing!
2 Service stations....Now here is the reason I do not pump gas!

4 Typewriters....Good grief…….remember when the new ones came out with "back up" correction tape……and we thought that was so cool…..haha
5 Vinyl records....I still have mine!
6 New Coke..I'm a Pepsi person so this one didn't matter to me
7 Carbon paper....Man……I used to come home with my finger tips black from this stuff…..glad this one is gone!
8 Betamax.....we still have lots of these because Johnny boy won't throw them out……and I don't think anyone has a working betamax!!
9 Phone booths...and I could add penny loafers that my dad put a dime in ours so we could always call home
10 Leaded gasoline...I wouldn't know about this (see number 2)
11 Rotary dial phones...oh yes, my mom still has one!
12 Videos on MTV...I miss this one…great way to spend a Saturday afternoon, watching music videos!

17 Beverage pull tabs...huh? I thought they were still around
18 West African black rhino ...didn't know…….
19 Hand-crank car windows ...Johnny boy's truck still has em!
20 Home run kings ....Johnny boy says this one all of the time and BBonds doesn't count!
21 Hair bands ...ya had to love all of the shag haircuts from the bands in the 80's but I guess it's good that phase is over
