Everyday objects that have become OBSOLETE

Thanks!

I still have the sound of inserting a dime stuck in my head … oh and the feel of the buttons and the metal cord. We all know everyone ran their fingers down it, tracing every groove when talking on the phone to someone lol.

It’s so weird how certain items’ sounds and the way they felt can stick with you years and years since last using them.

I had seen a payphone booth the other day and got exited until seeing it was empty. What’s sad is that I live in a very rural area where we still don’t have cell coverage due to the terrain (rural Appalachia) where payphones were extremely handy. I’ve even known of people wishing they’d bring them back at local stores with how many come around here to ride ATVs and not realize there’s no coverage for miles and needing to get ahold of someone.

Great video!

Buses used to have turnstiles. Paper maps were a thing.

In the 1970s I remember leaded gas, unfiltered cigs from vending machines and cheese burgers.

I miss the TV guide. The last one that came out here was back in 2019.

Pagers are rare in the public but just like the fax machine ,they are very commen in the US among emergency services.
I still see yellow (phone) books and TV guides at kiosks.

If all the satellite's went out cell phone's wouldn't work, most people don't have land mine phone's, the pay phone's don't work anymore most everywhere, then there would be no phone's at all, that wouldn't be good at all, I liked it the way it used to be.

Something that should have been included in this video is vhs stores such as blockbuster video.

Party line phones.

I remember the days of party phones!!

Anyone who's Asian is laughing their ass off right now at the inclusion of vending machines in this. The States and Canada are SO far behind in the vending machine food scene. In Asian countries you can get practically anything from vending machines, let alone food. The range of foodstuff goes right from frozen food, up to prepared hot food for the fraction of the cost you'd get it here in NA. They have entire convenience stores that are nothing but vending machines.

The more technologically advanced we get…the more I want to go back in time.

I hate modern times

I miss the triangular vent windows on cars.

I remember the old wall hanger phones with the cords that would tangle themselves into a knot the second you turned your back on them.

The microwave? oh wait that's still around.

In Australia we used to have the $2 and $1 note but they switched it out to a coin

In Australia we still have cigarettes vending machines that they're heavily regulated

To much is wrong.

Food and beverage Vending Machines are still around, and in strength. Their direct competition is not in the fast food establishments, but in the convenience stores, whether standalone or as part of gasoline stations. They still have a very big presence in colleges, hospitals, and highway rest stops (at least in Ohio). In addition, many take credit cards, with the new "tap" feature making them very convenient to use. And no, I don't have a dog in that fight.

Now they just need to ban smoking permanently

i miss the Tv Guide more then anything

Hate to break it to ya but you can get a stack of 2 dollar bills if you want. If your local bank doesn't have them they can order them from the Federal Reserve bank. I'd hardly call them collectible as they are nowhere close to being limited in supply.

Please pray for protection from cult bullies…

Just think about how much our lives have changed with these things being gone. The newspaper, for example, had a place to look for which movies to watch and when, you could read the funnies, look at sales ads from stores, and do the crosswords. All of these things, now gone. The internet and cell phones changed everything about our world.

I miss the simpler times. Extremely grateful to have experienced it before they became a memory.

I'ma mailman and I still deliver phone books and now newspapers.

The thing I missed the most is cheap movies theaters it used to be like seven dollars to see the movie and popcorn used to calls probably three dollars I think ?
And people always enjoy watching the movies but nobody talking everybody been quiet. I miss those days.

I haven’t seen a drop in vending machines. They are everywhere. Now you can even tap your credit card to pay.

I grew up with all of this and I don't miss any of it
