1. Drive in theaters would be the sentimental favorite
but the middle class would have been a better choice.

13. About 8 years ago, I looked into opening a drive-in theater.
I had no money, but I looked into it just dreaming. I found at the time, there were only 600 left in the country. I wonder what the stats are now?

5. We used to dissolve the Fizzies tablets right on our tongues, instead of
dropping them in water like you were supposed to.

6. Actually
I read not that long ago, and commented on it to a friend, that in some areas of the country, they still deliver milk to the house.

10. I think that there are still chemistry sets
I have seen them recently in a couple of specialty stores. I don't know if they were made at an earlier time or not but you still can buy them.

14. There are about 3 drive-ins within an hour from my home.
I go to them all the time. They're quite popular still.
