    While I am very very very old, I also am very very very immature.

    Egad, I remember everything but the Blackjack chewing gum.

    The fact that I was aging was brought home to me with a shock in 1979 (I was 26), working as part of a construction team, when a 14 year old we had hired as a gopher asked my partner and I, "Is it really true that Paul McCartney was a Beatle?"

    LOL, Comf. In the early 80s, my then 16 year old neice thought it was just pathetic that Paul McCartney was trying ride Michael Jacksons coat tail to fame and fortune. She never knew that he has written and published more music than anyone else has in history or that he was a Beatle.

    What I remember most about Blackjack chewing gum was that I hated it! LOL, I can even remember Squirt with citrus pulp in the bottle. And, I'm only plenty three

    Jason, my brain often tells me I'm still in my 20s. Then, my body says, "yeah? Well just feel this!"

    I remembered 22. But my memory is going. It has it's advantages though. I can watch the same movie a second time and still enjoy it. So what I am trying to say is I should have remembered all 25 questions... or was it 26 questions?

    I breezed through all of them!

    Mom wouldn't get me PF Flyers 'cause they cost a buck more than Keds. I had Keds and all the other kids had Converse and PF Flyers. That's why I'm psychopathic.

    I believe it was a chewing gum. I can still remember the different color stripes in each packet and they taste good to...........................Anyone remember the sevenup bar. What was your favorite flavor?

    OMG....Several hours ago, there were only a few postings on this thread. Now it looks like all the old farts have been jostled awake. Thanks Reborn. We needed that. {{{{ }}}}}

    So DR....P.F. flyers were high-top tennis shoes. Well no wonder I didn't know what they were.

    Alchemist: Don't remember a Seven Up bar.

    Does someone know where the following came from: "Plunk your magic springer froggy" I remember the saying so well but can't place where it came from.
