I remember the smell of Yardley Slicker lipsticks. I'd love to have one again just for the smell, but they go for astronomical sums on eBay.

I remember having my books punched out at the library.

I'm amazed no one has mentioned this: I remember the smell of dittoed (mimeographed) work sheets in school, and their purple ink.

I remember when you didn't need a bicycle lock, much less a helmet.

I remember "duck and cover." Yeah, that'd work. And Fallout Shelter signs.
