16

BTW, I recently bought some PF Fliers, both a high top in black and low in white. They have become popular again.
 
Never heard, that I can recall, of Blackjack gum. Just Bazooka.

Barely a few Packard and Hudson to notice.

Loved the aroma (smell) of mimeograph.

I guess I'm a 23.

I only remember six of them - all the others are too USA specific.

I must be a day older than dirt, I don't remember two, blackjack and butch wax. Is it possible they were local things and not national?

When I was like eighteen this 'old', maybe forty, black guy used to tell me, I'm a day older than dirt, been everywhere but the moon and seen everything but the wind. It always cracked me up when he said it.
 
I'm in the rotary phones with the 15 foot extension cord, jacks, Chinese jump rope, and big hunks group. :) Oh, and U Totems stores.

#3, #4 (if you accept plastic bottles), and #23 are still around
 
"Blackjack" gum - Beemans and Clove too - I can still get those.

I'm a solid 24. Short on the Packards and Hudsons unfortunately.
