17 for me: No sugar sandwiches, blood bro/sis, or Five & Dime. We didn’t have Five & Dime here.
Did you ever have ‘spice tea’ made from Tang & instant tea?

I loved Tang as a kid but never mixed it with tea.

We’d make big batches of the powder mix to have on hand. Everyone in my area did… Tang must have initiated it.

16 for me, never had a bread and sugar sandwich, which sounds kind of gross actually, lol. No cootie catcher, playing cards in my bike spokes or wore hand sewn clothes either.

18 out of 20 but then I am VERY old – I’ve never played tetherball or rode in a pick-up truck – front or back. For us poor folks buttered bread with sugar sprinkled on top was ‘dessert’. Cootie catcher puzzled me for a second, I had to look it up – but yeah, we made those, don’t remember what we called them, if anything. And all of a sudden I am reminded of ‘slam books’.

Slam books were the way girls bullied other girls back in my day – some were quite vicious – young teen girls (7th&8th graders) are just nasty…(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slam_book)

16. I don’t remember card on bike spokes, but I have 4 half-siblings. Crushed them at Red Rover, of course. The schools here still do the pledge, which I’ve never liked. Pledging blind allegiance? So fascist. The original pledge actually involved extending your arm…until that became the Nazi salute. Then Eisenhower insisted on adding “under God” during McCarthyism. I think of this every time I hear it over the school loudspeaker.

I got 16. This brought back so many memories of my early childhood. Riding in the back of pickup trucks was a normal thing — especially next to our pile of bikes.

Some thinfg don’t translate to Western Canada. S&H? Cootie Catcher? Highlights magazine? None of those ring bells though green stamps were a thing for Tom Boy.
So, 18 and counting. Just show’s i’ve lived a long long time.

Sorry I’m late. I scored 18. No green stamps, I was a box top guy. With four siblings they stacked up quick. I had to ask Cathy about the cootie catcher. We called it a fortune teller. My sisters caught all the cooties.
