I can remember when minstral chocolate sweets were called 'treats' and the advert said 'they melt in your mouth and not your hand'
And when Snickers was a Marathon bar.

Oh yeah and we sat around watching our betamax video recorder...there was nowt on telly so we just watched the video box, eating our Marathon and Topic bars.[)]

And bags of crisps had little blue twisted pieces of paper in containing the salt. Sometimes there were loads of them in a bag and sometimes not one.

Oh Cripes! Anyone remember when they brought out Hedgehog flavoured crisps? I couldn't bring myself to eat them.

and anyone remeber the early mobile phones!  A handset the size of a handbrick and the phone components where in a brief case sized box.  To use/charge it you either plugged it into the mains or into a car battery, coverage was at best 'patchy' and a second hand set woud cost you £1500! ! ! !  The only thing you could do with it was call and talk.  To make a call - even if there was no pick up cost you 50p.

Now what can't you do with an iphone?
