I'm so old I Remember when:

[EmmaDonovan]

I give up, what is it?

Anti-theft security case for a cassette tape.

I remember

I had one of those travel fold up clocks

And I remember
Big Ben and mini Big Ben

I traveled around Europe twice with one of those. I thought it was so cool when I upgraded to a digital one.

 

[jxp]

I remember

my grandmother giving me cod liver oil yucky yuck yuck

And putting thick gunk on my neck and chest and wrapping me up

Solstice maybe or Vicks

Whatever it was it must've worked. You're still here to tell about it.

Oh, I just loved these travel clocks. I could amuse myself for quite a while by exposing the gears and watching how they mesh. I thought whoever came up with that was an absolute genius. Those and Dad's pocket watch.

And just like that, the enchantment was gone.

Now we have phones that can do that. They fold with a screen on the outside for the time.

I'm not really sure why I took an alarm clock back in the day. Hotels always have a wake-up service.

I think it was one of those "mom said always take this when traveling" things, like a universal sink plug and travel clothesline, a rain bonnet, and granola bars. I've never been to a country without food but she inevitably tossed a handful of granola bars into my suitcase.

Anyone remember these rain bonnets?

Or Carnation breakfast bars?

Doctors smoking in hospital hallways.

Both my doctor and his nurse smoked during my PAPs.

I ate a Carnation breakfast bar every day in high school. I didn't have lunch because I was taking extra classes.

I remember those travel clocks, but we didn’t have one( my grandfather did) but it was one with a clockwork I also remember those plastic rain bonnets with white spots my parents also tortured me with cod liver oil, maybe that is why I now can eat anything without batting an eye, the taste is hard to top

At least you didn't have to wear one of those Wonder Bread bonnets.
