What y’all ? know about this



That and the old Sony boom boxes with the tv screen. I remember being able to see the box channel on it.

Or this right here...




The GOAT hand held


And I’m sure this has been dropped already but watching vhs tapes as kid was one of my fav childhood things to do

I wanted a Sony Watchman sooooo ? bad until I saw this:



I was already a fan of Clive Sinclair's stuff since I owned a Timex Sinclair 1000 computer and hay my eyes on trying to get a Timex Sinclair 2068. They never brought the TV80 to the US AFAIK and there were only 15,000 of them sold. Supposedly the picture was bigger than a Watchman and the quality was much better, plus the speaker gave better sound.

Back in the 70's and 80's, a nickel bag of weed was one finger in a ziploc sandwich baggie, a dime was two fingers, a lid was three fingers, and an ounce was 4 fingers.

Huh?

get one of these:



now, hold up one of your fingers to the bottom of the bag and put enough weed in it that it comes up to that finger. That's a nickel bag.

Hold up two fingers to the bottom of that bad and put enough weed in it that it comes up to those two fingers. That's a dime bag.

A lid is three fingers and an ounce would be 4 fingers. That's how weed was measured and sold back in the 70's and 80's. My pops had several cats he bought trees from, but his favorite was this white biker 'cause he was fat as hell and his fingers were chubby so his nickels and dimes were bigger than everybody else's.

I didn't see 1 gram = dime bag until the 90's. I don't know when it changed, but you got far more for your money back inna day.

@king hassan @Cain @deadeye y'all gotta remember this.

fun dip was the ?
