Running from shady spot to shady spot in the street because that hot tar was soft and sticky for bare feet.

I remember them all too.
No feeling like the "worms in my feet" feeling of skating asphalt streets with clamp on skates. And heaven forbid you lose the skate key.
And the irritating woman who shared our phone. Seems she spent her life on the phone.

My grandmother had one.
I'll also admit to going fishing with an old one. There may be a few who know what I'm referring to.

Nope. Never did in public lakes, ponds, rivers either. Didn't say it was right, just admitted to sinning. :D

Some one posted Push Ups on Facebook the other day. The ice cream in what looked like a toilet paper tube with a stick. Loved those things. Also loved the original Popsicles.

Can't remember the name- the straws that had flavoring in them. I remember chocolate and strawberry.
