So many things we were told and taught growing up we took at face value, and never questioned

Too much access and too much information is getting volunteered these days ... for no reason!

What a time, when toys meant something, they went with the cartoons ... they were new, and going to the Toy Store was a reward, want an everyday thing!

The things of the 70s and 80s ( and a little 90's) that were on popular Fast Food restaurant menus that we will never eat again ... and even if they bring them back, they won't taste the same!

80's kids were truly innocent ... when they werentWithout the internet, and social media, etc. Still figured out a way to do out of pocket mess ... it was all innocent and funny though

Growing up not only was all of the snacks cheap, they tasted incredible ... those same things now? WTF happened? They changed the recipes! They aren't healthier,, they just suck now!

Before Cell Phones and Twitter, and Instagram ... we lived in the moment and enjoyed what we were doing at the time, and never cared about showing it or sharing it with people who were not there; outside of taking a picture or two ... we just enjoyed life.
