Remember when buying Cola Colas was “dirt cheap”?
–you get a crate for the price of what you pay
for 6 today…
Or better yet, remember Gas stations were the first
one stop shops?
You could buy items under $5 including gas.
Now that’s really dirt cheap.
What about those haircuts? Now, you can afford to get a hair cut a day
and your shoes shined if you pay the price you paid during those day.
Remember the White high tops?
What about those Buster Brown shoes?
If you like me, you had them in every color.
Shoes like those lasted a long times, today,
it’ll save a few hundreds every few months
if you give up those Nike’s…
I know this car is still sitting
in someone’s yard, that’s how
good the products were…
if someone hit this one,
it will not easily bend
or fold like the ones today.
Remember way back when record players
were cheap and you bought vinyl
albums all the time? Well today, you hardly can
afford one cd at a time and don’t consider
the cost of today’s technology.
My oh my, how time has changed. Life was
simple. You wore two sets of clothes because you
didn’t want the good ones to get dirty. Prices were
dirt cheap and words to songs were not
considered dirty.
If I tell you I wore those Buster Browns,( or as we called them in my small town, Saddle Shoes) while I played my vinyl Beatles albums on a tiny record player, then I would reveal my age, so I won’t.

Love your take on the prompt! I can remember searching for the white high tops when my children were small; all I got was blank stares 😑

Thanks Don. The ones now the face of the watch appears to be made more from some form of plastic fiberglass material and the older watches appear to have had a glass like base
