When I was little, I remember trick-or-treating starting when it got dark and ending several hours later. Last Halloween it seemed like everyone stopped coming once it got dark.

Being able to eat anything and everything without heartburn. Man you could have deep-fried chunks of glass and I would have eaten it for breakfast with no trouble. Nowadays I can get heartburn from poo poo like oatmeal or whatever the gently caress.

There was only one fat kid in the class. Kids could bring peanut butter to lunch without half the class dying. Only people with celiac disease wouldn't eat gluten.

Holy poo poo people, at that point home school your kid, for the sake of his or her life. Is there something about processed foods that make way more people have have super allergic kids? Or these kind of kids always existed, but they died as infants before medical technology got better?

I think it's something to do with the amount (or maybe type? not a scientist) of proteins in peanuts. I've seen things about kids not going outside messing with the amount of Vitamin D they receive as a possible explanation, too. So basically we have wimpy, sickly kids now thanks to overprotecting kids. A country of Stuarts from MadTV.

Pizza Hut used to be a sit down place where you would go in and sit in nice booths and have really gooey, cheesy pizza brought to your table. You'd savor each slice because it was really hot and good and it was also kind of expensive. They even had a loving salad bar. Now they put one in my hometown but it has lovely particle board tables and bad seats, and basically nobody goes in there to eat. I can't measure the pizza being worse but it sure looks like it is. About the only thing that looks familiar about it is the massive amount of dough in that poo poo. Which was fine when it was a massive, weighty slice and you only ate like two but it's bad and encourages overeating when the toppings are cut back and you're just chowing down on miles of bread. Also there used to be restaurants in department stores, and they were a pretty reasonable place to take a break after standing around waiting for someone to try on every drat piece of clothes in the store. The food courts destroyed that pretty quickly, so I guess whether you think that is measurably better depends on how much you like food courts.

Video games story was told in the form of gameplay, fun was had in part by the imagination of the players, and also no shame when it came to playing video games all day on a rainy weekend. now everything has a million cut scenes and dialogue so pointless you're usually given the option to skip it, you can't do fun poo poo like making warthogs spin over cliffs with grenades, everything's spoon fed to you, and if you play for more than an hour or two you can't help but feel like you're spending way too much time doing nothing.

We lived in Arizona, and the skies always had little fluffy clouds in them, and they were long, and clear, and there were lots of stars at night. And, when it would rain, it would all turn... They were beautiful, the most beautiful skies as a matter of fact. The sunsets were purple and red and yellow and on fire, and the clouds would catch the colors everywhere. That's neat because I used to look at them all the time, when I was little. You don't see that. You might still see them in the desert.

It was Coney Island, they called Coney Island the playground of the world. There was no place like it, in the whole world, like Coney Island when I was a youngster. No place in the world like it, and it was so fabulous. Now it's shrunk down to almost nothing, you see. And, uh, I still remember in my mind how things used to be, and... uh, you know, I feel very bad. But people from all over the world came here, from all over the world! It was the playground - they called it the playground of the world over here. Anyways, you see, I... uh... you know... I even got, when I was very small, I even got lost at Coney Island, but they found me... on the... on the beach. And we used to sleep on the beach here, sleep overnight. They don't do that anymore! Things changed, you see. They don't sleep anymore on the beach.

It's been a very long time since I was able to get a brown paper bag and fill it with Christmas beetles, and then, as everyone had their windows open for the heat, lob the bag into their lounge room and have the beetles explode in a nightmare of flying crawling insects. The beetles are all dead, the bags are all plastic, and the houses are all air conditioned. Likewise, destroying every mail box in the street with bungers. No bungers, no mail boxes.
