you guys must be older than me, I don't remember gas ever being cheaper than around .99 cents a gallon
I do remember a pack of cigarettes being .99 cents, for Marlboros. I think they are up to like $10 now
I grew up in a different country so stuff over there was very different from here even in the 80s ( when I moved here)
Never saw an ATM or drive through fast food place until I moved to the US. Never knew cable tv existed, we had 3 public tv channels in the 80s that started around 4 or 5 pm and ended around 1 AM , there were no commercials in any shows, those were limited to about 10 minutes at 8 PM only
never had peanut butter or mangos ( love both very much)
this one made me really mad: drinking age was 21!! No drinking age at the time at all in Germany ( they might have one now, not sure) . It was still like that when my kids were teenagers and thought it was the coolest thing to be able to order a glass of wine in a restaurant
Public toilets cost money, there was no ice in drinks , or if you really insisted on it, you got 1 little ice cube
no air conditioning anywhere, not even in stores
