I must be *really* old.

Scary. I recognize nearly all of these

I recognized all but 1. Not only that but we still have some of that stuff.

Has frozen fruit juice been discontinued?

Yesterday I survived the extraction of a molar the dentist rated it a 9 out of 10 for difficulty.
Today this.

Time to put me through the wood chipper.

I was wondering that as well. And ice cream in a box... I guess now it comes in those round-ish tubs?

Also, what is #16?

I probably recognized more than half of the rest

Fried bologna!

Don't know about the OJ, as it's not something we drink. My dad used to buy frozen daquiri mix that came in that packaging. I assumed that cartons of Tropicana or the so-called fresh squeezed stuff they sell in produce departments of grocery stores had taken over the market.

edit: Looked up frozen OJ concentrate at my local Mariano's (Kroger). The only one they carry is the Kroger brand. No Minute Maid.

My theory is anyone over 50 is old, but YMMV.

And, yes, I'm officially old according to your link.

Lol.

I wonder why… maybe people buy juice ready to drink now? People buy/drink juice less because of concerns about sugary drinks? People are too lazy to mix up the concentrate?

Still have the wooden salad bowl. Two actually, large and small. And the accompanying wooden utensils. We still use them.

What are we “supposed” to use for salad these days??

Good old petro based plastic, I suppose.

Or beautiful $$$ artisan bowls of exotic woods handmade by Gambian villagers or Italian designers.

Somehow I didn't see this the first time...

So I've never had that, nor heard of it. But we almost never (never?) had bologna in the house when I was growing up. At least not that I can remember. Salami and other Italian meats, or else sandwiches were PB&J.

Not only do I remember most of those, my 41 year old daughter who was looking over my shoulder recognized almost as many.

I do remember fried bologna but I was never a fan. It just smelled nasty to me.
