All 25 ... a couple of comments:

1. Blackjack chewing gum-I love it! When I go back to Va. to visit family, there's a place that still sells Blackjack. I buy a couple of packages (not packs, multiple packs to a package) to hold me over until the next visit.

6. Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers-Remember when it got really cold, the milk would freeze/expand and a column of milk (cream if it was "Golden Gurnsey") would rise from the neck with the cardboard stopper perched on the top. This still seemed to happen years later when we got one of those fancy insulated aluminum-with-the creamery's-name on it boxes for the delivery.

9. P.F. Flyers-I honestly thought I could jump higher when I got my new pair before the start of summer.

10. Butch wax-flattops! Had one. God, that stuff was like heavy weight lithium grease!

11. Telephone numbers with a word prefix-Tuxedo

12. Peashooters-How about "Spud shooters", a metal gun where you got the ammo by thrusting the barrel into a fresh unpeeled poatao.
