Lava lamps
The toys you used to get in cereal packets. I remember the Kreatures series, like Kingly Kreature and Kreepy Kreature and so on. And again, there was always one you never got.

I actually remember the launch of Willard's chips in the early 1970s. We'd only had Simba up till then. My first impression was that Willard's tasted "furry", heh.

@RichJB what a list... nostalgia of note.
I actually still have my original Silly Putty... the one that would take pictures off the Richie Rich comics! I have a "green suitcase" full of things from way back when... all my Yo Yo's and the badges I won... I used to ride my bicycle to the YoYo comps and won many compo's but had to give away most of the prizes because I couldn't carry them back home on my bike!
I should go find the suitcase and take some pics of the goodies inside.
Good morning Hi Ho... Roger that... will go look for it when I'm awake...
No stress, am just curious whats inside there
Maybe you will find something epic!
We want a vid of you doing your yo-yo tricks @Rob Fisher
I was never very good although I tried, could walk the dog and rock the baby oh and what was the doggy bite or something like that.

Cool list @RichJB
. This thread in the forums truly brings back many memories. Here are some car memories for me:
First car that I remember my dad had
And the one he had after that
And then the first car I had
These aren’t the exact cars - just the models

That Anglia was my first car. Got it from my mom when she got a new car. Fat takkies on the rear (13 inch) doing 90mph down Town Hill.
Petrol stored in cans in the boot when traveling to Jhb cause filling stations closed at 6pm due to oil shortage.
It had only been written off twice by insurance before I got it and finished the job by rolling it outside Mooi River

Lol my first car was a 1972 VW Beetle from my gran.
that car is 10 years older than me
The first item out the suitcase was my first calculator!
My bayonet that was with me during my 5 tours of duty.
My Pro Patria Medal for border service.
The wooden head I carved while on the border that was around my neck for the rest of my service time! And if you look closely at the chin of the face you may be able to see small teeth marks... these were made by my pet money "Floss" that I rescued from locals that had killed his mother... I gave them R10 and took Floss... not sure if it was the R10 note or the full magazine of 7.62 ammo in my R1 Rifle that convinced them. Floss was my constant companion on my 6 months tour of duty in Ovamboland.
