You know you're nearing 50 in Adelaide, when you remember...

[Footy Chick]

Bubble-O-Bill, Splice and Golden Gaytime. They still sell Golden Gaytime I think, although i'm not so sure about the first 2 i listed.

In fact, the Golden Gaytime was the most sold ice-cream in 2010.

Stick that useless piece of info in your gob and suck it

Splice has just been re-vamped in new flavours, which I'm yet to try... original is always the best for me!

The pre-wheely bin days when the garbo boys would jump off the track and collect the bins and share a laugh with people in the neighbourhood - My old lady used to always buy them some beer at Christmas time as would many others, they must have cleaned up (pardon the pun).

Unlike the sullen lot that dont leave the vehicles these days, and leave the bins on the road in front of and behind cars because they find the spot you've parked in inconvenient.

Science on TV consisted of the Curiosity Show and Julius Sumner Miller.... "why is it so?"

Science on TV consisted of the Curiosity Show and Julius Sumner Miller.... "why is it so?"

"I'm glad you asked" . Used to love watching the Curiosity Show, Fridays at 4pm at one time, if my memory isn't playing tricks.

Saw that Eleven is playing Hogan's Heroes tonight - used to watch that at 6.30pm each night. Once they finished playing that on Nine, they switched to Happy Days in that timeslot - also on Eleven each day. EVerything old is new again.

When there was a fountain/stream in the yard next to Grenfell Tower, while waiting for the bus on the long, curved wooden seat on Grenfell St.

Dean Hutton and Rob Morrison summed up what I learnt about science back in the old days. I still use the phrase "here's one I prepared earlier". People "less than" 30 might not understand the reference. Oh well, I still enjoy it. Yep, I reckon it was 4pm as well. I never missed a show!

Fountain thingo......aka the pi$$ trough outside the Grenfell tower is still there. The water was turned off years ago. With the refurbishment/redevelopment of the Grenfell Tower, I thought the pi$$ trough would go, but it's still there!

When you wanted to wear shorts at a private golf course in the 80's you had to delve into the old mans sock draw to find the knee high socks.

Being an ex-member of Tea Tree Gully all through high school I would have been the only kid at pedare with a pair of "walk socks"...

[Strawb]

I had these:

We had one of those machines. The only game I remember attempting to play on it though was Burger Time.

Burger Time was my favourite too. Great stuff GP.

we had one in the 90's and I want one for my collection.

Myths that grew bigger* over time, such as the one that Emmanuel Lewis (Webster) had broken his neck while breakdancing.

In fact, breakdancing itself, and wishing at the time that I had the rhythm to do things like Crazy Legs. Anytime I tried to do that, I looked like an office chair tipping over.

Pop Rocks (and yes, there was a myth that a child actor in the US had died after ingesting Pepsi and Pop Rocks. Mythbusters partially disproved that one, but only partially)

That would have to be the child actor whose ghost allegedly appears in "Three Men and a Baby"

Didn't they establish that that image was a piece of cardboard from an ad or something like that?

[dedja]

your first mobile looking like this ...

no seats in the outer at Football Park (apart from on the fence) ...

Yeah, apparently it was a promotional cardboard cutout of Ted Danson.
Didn't stop the rumours though IIRC.

You also got a free tooth floss when it was time to get down and dirty with the missus as a teenager.

[Blacky]

no football park
sleeping out at adelaide oval for finals
ah those were the days my friends

[gadj1976]

ring pull cans and ring pull stubbies (or echos) of beer. And all those ornamental sculptures you could make with the ring pulls!

And I remember when West End brought out the Widemouth can.

[dedja]

beer only came in long necks ...
