1. Blackjack chewing gum
2. Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water
3. Candy cigarettes
4. Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles
5. Coffee shops or diners with table-side juke boxes
6. Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers
7. Party lines on the telephone
8. Newsreels before the movie
9. P.F. Flyers
10. Butch wax
11. TV test patterns that came on at night after the last show
12. Peashooters
13. Howdy Doody
14. 45 RPM records
15. S& H green stamps
16. Hi-fi's
17. Metal ice trays with lever
18. Mimeograph paper
19. Blue flashbulb
20. Packards
21. Roller skate keys
22. Cork popguns
23. Drive-ins
24. Studebakers
25. Wash tub wringers

27. Ignition switches on the dashboard
28. Heaters mounted on the inside of the fire wall
29. Pant leg clips for bicycles without chain guards

There's supposed to be some kind of score matrix with this quiz, but I forget what it is.

All but one-Black Jack gum.
But that's to be expected at my age!

Six for me! I win, I win...Or perhaps I lose. Without the matrix we may just have to decide on our own...
