You know You're Old When...

You go to Target to buy clothespins and 3 different employees have no idea what they are???!!.....

You go to Dairy Queen, ask for a crunch cone and the employee doesn't know what that is???!!...

You go to the grocery store and realize they don't make Bundt cake mixes anymore..no one knows what it is??!!!....

I better just stay home

What's a crunch cone? Aren't they all crunchy? ;-)

Diane said...

A crunch cone is a dairy queen ice cream cone dip in this stuff that is sweet and crunchy.. yum yum...to bad you will never get to have one.

I've never heard of any of the above...there really is an age differance. C.Rickards

Cynthia, Is it your 58th this year?

Jody said...

wow, Diane there must be that unique age gap between Cynthia and us, that makes us know about clothespins and bundtcake mixes! ;)
I had forgotten all about the crunch cone deal, but they really were a standard offering for a time here too. I am glad you didn't ask if there were any 8-tracks around or anything though!
I remember when a Target deal on candy bars was regularly 10 for $1.
Now you've made me hungry for that old bundt cake mix that was chocolate w/ the white coconut filling tunnel running through it.

I know what all of those are and feel your pain. Have you noticed that Mister Misty's are now called Arctic Rushes.

I was talking to my nephews the other day about records they thought I was talking about a CD or DVD. My oldest nephew is 6. And then my Logan asked me to hit select when I put in the VHS as he wanted to pick his scene....DVD generation.

Oh and if it makes you feel better, I do know what clothespins and bundt cakes are...I still use them both. I guess I'm old fashioned or something...;-)

Christina said...

They don't make bundt cakes any more!? That's horrible... and, it must be in the Tuff genes, but I knew what all those things are. It doesn't make you old :)
