Those car door/boot protectors that were supposed to look like the fingers of someone trapped in the car.
Car door protectors generally. Back in the 80s they were to protect your own door, but if they were still prevalent my passenger door might not look like the surface of the moon.

Tea cosys
People using cloths pegs to keep the choke open on carburetors, or carburetors for that point
Those old bubblegum / lick and stick tattoo vending machines that used to be bolted to the walls outside shops. Which we worked out accepted ring pulls as payment.
Corona pop bottles you took back to get your deposit.
On beach holidays as a kid, those wooden stripey deck chairs, old men in string vests and suspenders (Holding their socks up)
Women with bush sprouting out everywhere from their bikini bottoms and fat men with half a knacker proudly on display on the outside of their speedos.
And rusty cars,do cars not rust any more?

It's strange that - do you think the radiation emitted by the phones has scared them off?

Is there another town in the UK with its own (extremely shit) haircut? It was endemic. Bizarre.
Video rental shops, the prelude to an awesome night in with crisps and pop and bloody violence. And an awkward silence during the sex scene.

Touched on above, but there's a bitumen pavement near me with lots of the old detachable ring pulls stiff embedded in it, I think they come out every now and then like fossils from an eroded cliff.

Remember there used to be charity drives to collect them? - Blue Peter did it and a few others. I remember when I was a cub scout kids having long strings of them that they'd collected. Strange that we were collecting the ring pulls for recycling value and not the cans.
A few years back I was digging at the unrulier end of the garden of my old house in the highlands and uncovered a buried black plastic bin liner. I half expected it to be a corpse but a bit more digging revealed it was on of 3 bin bags full of ring pulls.
Scallions.
Spring Onion crisps, why were they not scallion flavour?
Sorry to burst the white dog poo bubble, but loads of people feed their dogs on raw meat and bone diets, so it's making a glorious, triumphant calcified comeback.
It was the ash content of dog food that caused not calcium.

Free glasses with petrol vouchers?
Still got loads of them back home. Esso ones were virtually indestructible, unlike Ikea etc. which have designed in fragility so you'll keep replacing them.

No you still see those.

Come to Sheffield, we have loads. I think it helps that there's [b]always[/b] a convenient hill, so the top of a massive slide is still basically on the ground, so no big drops." big " slides in playgrounds
It means my three year old is constantly disappointed by slides in playgrounds elsewhere.
