I don’t remember exactly what grade I was in when I went to Toys RUs at 5:30 am with my dad, to wait on line for a CPK, but you were probably born in about 1975-6.

The Cabbage Patch rage was when I was just a baby.

I think click-clacks and slap bracelets were in when I was in mid-elementary school, probably 5-6th grade.

My mother had the Silver Cross carriage with the seat, she even had a Silver Cross convertible high chair/desk, and we children had a Silver Cross doll carriage- mini version of the baby carriage.

I remember a world without cellphones and current photocopiers that produced copies in black ink. I remember when teachers used to "run off stencils" that were handwritten/hand drawn, and if they were creative, they did it in three different colors- blue, pink, and green. I remember when personal computers and then scanners and then internet and cellphones were novelties - in fact, I remember using floppy disks in schools when we had computers. I remember fax machines.
*Lisa Frank was popular when I was in about fifth grade.
*A slice of pizza went up to $1
* Mitzvah gum
* Ching-chong (aka Chinese jump rope), with games for some reason named Russian, French.... ("Maza, Faza, Sista, Brudda")
*Our 8th grade teacher had a stack of carbon sheets to copy notes for friends who were absent.
*Sunflower hair accessories in seventh grade
*Only frum publications I remember were the Jewish Press, Olomeinu, and The Jewish Observer. The Yated must have come out when I was a preteen or teen, and Hamodia weekly a bit later. I was married already when Hamodia Daily came out.
* I remember going to the public library to borrow journals for a college research assignment because the internet was not what it is today.
* I remember dial-up internet and "You've got mail!"
*Milk came in cartons and apple juice in glass bottles.
*Unfiltered NYC water was kosher
*No one I knew owned a winterized summer home. Whoever went upstate had dumpy bungalows.

Will add more as I remember more

*A world without Crocs
*Prizes in cereal boxes. Honeycomb once had watches that we all wanted. Our favorite color was pink but for some reason, the pink watches were rare.
*What were CD's? Cassettes tapes and diskettes. We would use pencils to wind up the tape strip of the cassettes if necessary. For that matter, I even vaguely remember records.
*Torah cards! They were amazing and so educational. Such interesting facts about different people/events/places in Tanach. Each card had tons of well-researched details. A shame that they stopped producing them.

I know I'm making it easy, but I'm enjoying this trip down memory lane.

(I wish it's anon-enabled.)

Was I hugged because I'm old? What

I'd guess you're 38.
