It's the America I grew up in

Y’all had the sissy cannons. We used to make em out pvc pipes.

Have a tank and a straight pipe and a starter button for a grill attached to the screw on/off back part of the tank.

Stick a tater in the straight pipe, spray a bunch of hairspray in the tank, screw on the back, hit the igniter button, and you just turned a tater into a deadly weapon

So if yall know what Braums ice cream store is.....

Braums made slushies and the straws had bigger holes than a normal straw. We made various blow dry guns with them. No ma, I haven't seen your sewing needles and thread ..... then we took to school for spitwads.

I dont remember coffee shops when I was young.
Cafes (for breakfast) & actual truck stops is where everyone drank coffee when I was growing up. (but maybe that is what you meant by coffee shop)
Side Note: I only knew of coffee as well. Never heard of a latte'
 
Go into the Diner for breakfast.

Yep

We didn't have that shit back in the 70's, youngin'.

PVC pipe didn't become 'the norm' until the 80s, and grills used charcoal and lighter fluid.
I don't recall any friends parents having propane grills. Even if they did it's not like they wouldn't have missed the starter had we taken it.

I doubt a kid could walk into a store today and buy a can of zippo lighter fluid, but we could back then.
 
so strange that this is happening with young girls of now
I work at UNK and they really want me to tell them of how it was back in the years I grew up ??
kinda like these new guys are wormy or faggots er sumtin
