A friend of mine used to say, "How would you like to own a ton of stock in a slide rule company when the calculator came along?" Things change quick and become taken for granted, but at the time they were a big deal, huh? We've talked about a lot of the major changes, but remember....
Coke in small bottles?
The first single wrapped slice of cheese?
Cheese in a can?
Sandwich bags, then..
Zip lock sandwich bags?
Twist ties on sandwich bread (we always called it light bread )?
Pull tabs on soda and beer cans?
Disposable lighters?
Disposable razors?
Disposable diapers?
When gas first went to 50 cents?
Bucket seats were an option in some cars?
When Interstate 75 used to stop at Lenoir City?
When there was no Interstate 75 at all?
Boys never wore jeans to church or school?
Girls always wore dresses to church and school?
Hushpuppy shoes came and went?
Hang Ten shirts came and went?
There was a Lenoir City Banner?
Members Only jackets came and went?
And a whole host of others. We've seen a lot in almost 60 years haven't we?
