I got 10. I had to ask someone what butch wax is. And last night I was reading Catcher in the Rye and it was talking about skate keys and I was clueless.
I can remember 17 so I'm not telling my age! lol It's funny you should mention those wax bottles with the coloured sugar water inside...I went to a specialty shop last year that sold all the old time candies and I bought a pack of those because they reminded me so much of my childhood! I should take a picture of them and post them:-)
OK! I'll play!
I got 12 - now, if I add stuff my grandparents owned and TV reruns, I get 17!
I remembered them all...so I am not only older than dirt...I'm older than old dirt...
Yellowdog granny and I are competing for most decrepit.
I remember them all too. Not only do I remember 45's, I grew up with 78's and my cousin had a machine that played cylinders.
