Ten Things We Did in the ’80s That Kids Today Have No Idea About

By 1 Comment

For those of us who were kids and teenagers in the ’80s, we did things back then that kids today never knew existed. From drinking water out of a garden hose to spending a penny to get 11 cassette tapes mailed to your house, here are 10 things we did in the ’80s that kids today have no idea about!

We all drank water from a garden hose, and so far, we haven’t grown an extra arm or anything…
If you don’t know what’s going on here, then you are exactly who this post is for!
Who can forget what the sound a bunch of bikes with baseball cards stuck in the spokes sounded like back in the ’80s… Honestly, I really wish I hadn’t done this as I ruined so many cards that would be worth so much money today. LOL
It’s hard to believe it, but this is how we used to ride around town, and sometimes we even rode in the back of the truck on long road trips. I’m pretty sure you’d get arrested if you did this today!
Oh yeah! We had one just like this, except our cord was even longer so you could stretch it into another room and close the door. LOL
If you were a kid in the early ’80s, you were basically your dad’s remote control and antenna adjuster all night long!
Suckers!!!

MEMBERS ONLY jackets! As the Gatlin Brothers say, “When you put it on, something happens to you!” Were you a member of the club in the ’80s? We certainly were!

This was our internet in the ’80s! Kids today will never know the joy of writing of writing a research report using the World Book Encyclopedia!
Aqua Net… this stuff would hold your hair in place even if you were stuck in a hurricane!
