Also crushed soda cans on the back of me and my friends' bicycles.
We felt so cool ridin around like we were tough... till the street lights came on. :D

This thread is taking me back...
 

I remember have the Bionic Woman playset which included Jamie Summers and some type of tech/command center that had wires that would connect her bionic parts to it. I also had the Farrah Fawcett styling head doll. It came with make up and hair dye.

I remember making a Chinese rope out of rubberbands and you needed at least three people to play (because there was only two of us, a chair would sometimes suffice). I remember when a simple "wire" clothesline was all we needed and we would jump rope (double dutch) from sun up to sun down. I don't remember stopping to eat lunch or anything else.

Things I never got:

1. I always wanted pom poms on my roller skates.
2. I always wanted a basket on the front of my bike and streamers on the handle bars.
3. I never got those Wonder Woman Under Roos (still remind my mother about that one and I think I need therapy to work out my issues).

Question: Did anyone collect soda can tabs and if so, why?

I still have my original glow worm! :D:o:D

My favorite throwback toys were from the 70s.
Baby Chrissy
There was one doll that used to ride her bike on her own.
Chinese checkers
Monopoly
Anything that involved Scooby Doo.

Oh yes!! I've always loved my video games. I had the Atari 2600. I also had Donkey Kong and Q-Bert. I had the following games too: Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Pitfall, Centipede, Millipede, Pole Position, and the list would keep going. I had over 50 games.

Ms. Pac-Man was the hood game of the century! We took that game seriously!

80's Baby
 

I loved my:

1:My original Nintendo (still remember the night my dad brought it home and set it up)
2:Black Cabage patch doll (original 1984 version w/ the nappy hair . . I got as a baby & still have it)
3: Skip it (elementary school)

But what I always (and still am bitter) about was the fact that at 4 or 5 I was too tall for the electronic Barbie convertable / jeep . . .the 1 that had the battery, gas pedal, and steering wheel to drive. I loooooved that toy and I wanted 1 sooo bad :(. No matter how hard my mom tried to explain that my "legs were just to long to fit" I would whine everytime we passed one in the store . . i still get excited when I see 1 now :D

Most definitely. I currently have Ms. Pac-Man on the SNES. My friends and I were playing it a few weeks ago.

Oh yes. I had that system too. I gave the first model away when I got the 2nd model that came out.

I remember glow worm. I had one of those too.

never did get the one i wanted as a child :( but for my daughters first christmas, my parents got her one! i almost cried when i took it out the box, and they had to remind me it was for her and not me.

i have issues that need to be worked out over a barbie house and little tykes kitchen. my best friend had one and hardly touched it. i used to lust over it and always wanted to play with it when i went over but she paid it no mind. to this day, i still want that kitchen...

OMG!!!! WHY did my mom keep my bracelet??!!! I have given it to my 4 year old and she thinks it' the bomb. (she does let me rock it occasionally...:D)

To make a necklace out of, of course!! For awhile, it was cool to see how many you could get on your chain...and colored ones (coke had red ones for awhile) counted extra!!!
