Bra strap headbands made a brief appearance when I was around 10-13
Around the same time, we started having to dial the area code before the 7-digit phone number.
Discmans were really popular then too

My elementary teacher copied her papers on the purple ink paper, can’t remember what it’s called.

Hey 26 too! Our school banned tiny tots, if they saw anyone in school with it they took it away!

Bra strap headbands? Is that real?? Based on the popularity of Discmans when you were 10, I suggest you are 33.

Carbon paper/carbon copies, that's how we'd copy notes for a friend that was absent.....

I remember when my younger sisters were busy collecting, the school didn't allow to bring it to school because it caused jealousy and distracted them during class.

Carbon paper!
I brought a whole case to our bazaar, when a business switched over from carbon copies for typewriters to computers!!!
People grabbed them at the cheap price of 10 cents a sheet!
We carbon copied notes when a classmate was absent...

I feel old!
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?
