A Time Capsule of 28 Nostalgic Memes to Transport 80s Kids Back to an Era Before Cell Phones

Before social media, the only way to tell where your friends were was to ride around your neighborhood looking for the largest stash of bikes parked on someone's lawn. Once you found a heaping pile of junkyard bicycles, you were in the right place.

There's something special and quaint about a time before the Internet. We played outside and scraped our knees. We climbed trees and curfew was when the streetlights came on. We weren't constantly inundated by ads, we could trust things at face value, and the only spam we got was ringing off the hook through the family landline. Life was simpler then.

You could drink the hose water, candy was shaped like cigarettes, and nobody second-guessed that 6" long carpet. So if you're looking for a captivating snapshot of nostalgia, keep scrolling down to enjoy a bologna post-pool sandwich full of chips, and wash it down with this collection of nostalgic memes.
