Crop Tops & Flared Pants Facebook This outfit was very popular in the 1960s. Crop tops, flared pants, and crocheted clothes were in! Did you have an outfit like this? S&H Green Stamps Wikimedia Commons During this time period, S&H Green Stamps sold way more stamps than the post office. They were one of the very first loyalty programs in the United States.

Mood rings have a stone that is generally a hollow quartz or glass shell that contains thermotropic liquid crystals. In simpler terms, the color of the stone changes based on your body temperature. Cursive Displays PxHere Cursive is becoming a thing of the past. Do you remember the cursive posters above the chalkboard in school?

Pantyhose Eggs Flickr Do you remember when pantyhose came in those little plastic egg-shaped containers? They had to stop making them because of environmental concerns, but perhaps they did help remove the stigma of these undergarments.
