You know you're a 70s kid if

you owned a "marie osmond" barbie doll
(I did)

a treat was eating Tang out of the pouch with your finger

you watched "The Beachcombers" on CBC
(if you're canadian)

 

Well I definitely remember Tang. I used to get in that stuff and eat it dry, just like that. Or if I made a glass of it, I always used way more than I should, ended up with a big ol' orange sugar hill at the bottom of my glass.

But I was a late 70's child.

 

I prefered lik m sticks to Tang, actually my mom didn't let me have Tang because she hated astronauts and space in general

we didn't get CBC, still don't as a matter of fact, but we did get NBC, ABC, CBS, and PBS...thats right, no cable back then

Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley...

 

AM radio, not the song
stations that played EVERYTHING

 

Oh man, I used to have a crush on "The Fonze", and I absolutely loved Laverne and Shirely! Wow, bringing back memories!

I definitely remember Lik M Sticks too.

 

hahahha should I even go there?????????

 

i can't wait to get home from school and watch DOUBLE DARE! and play that never nintendo game system.. super mario bros. and duck hunt!


5th grade was interesting

 

I remember when we only had 12 stations.... we had two cbs stations, two abc stations, two nbc stations, a pbs station.... and I cant recall what the other ones were.... one was local access/weather

 

duck hunt!!!!!!!!!!

awww yeah!

How about pinball? I loved to play pinball at the corner store....
oh that was in the 80's...

Lick a Stick was sooo ogood, they still sell them but they taste different. The white stick was soooo yummy.

 

yeah, once we got cable...... nickelodeon was all we watched, and mtv! double dare, you cant do that on television, etc...... good stuff

 

I heard that!

 

Oh man, I loved Double Dare! I had a game, it was kind of like a board game, but more physical, of DD, that I played at my 10th birthday party!

 

hold on... my GUESS jeans have come unzipped at the ankles and i need to use some more aquanet on my bangs,, they're not sticking straight up anymore.

 

that's so 80's, though. i'm lost. are we remembering the 70's, or the 80's. because i have more 70's memories. like being glued to shaw bros pictures with really awful/awesome dubbing.

 

I had a Time Tunnel lunchbox with a matching thermos with a glass vacuum bottle in it.

 

I had a Six Million Dollar Man Lunchbox.

 

I've got everyone of those Shaw Brothers Martial Arts movies on DVD


Hotwater

 

they're a thing of beauty. they takes me back every time, to the days they were on UHF, and you had to manually tune the big tv knob to the right frequency. that was awesome.

 

Yeah that sucked especially if you're the poor sap stuck holding the rabbit-ears with the tinfoil hanging off it so everyone else can watch. And there were only three VHF stations, and if you're lucky, one PBS and maybe one grainy Independent channel on UHF.

 

Atari, 8 track tapes, LPs, feathered hair, The Partridge Family, The Brady Bunch..etc etc..I wasn't born in the 70s but my mom was still in the 70s when I was born..
