Can openers that operate with a manual turning motion.


What? My Gen Z kid used one of those yesterday helping out while I was cooking.



Guess I'm technically a millennial (35), and I've quite literally never NOT used a hand crank can opener.

On that note, my grandparents have had an electric one mounted on their kitchen wall since the 70s.

I've also had all of the things listed in the OP and many mentioned ITT.

Dumb thread is dumb.

I used one to open canned dog food when I helped my dad feed our dog way back in the day.

Rotary phone and wooden box audio system I was very family with. The Rocky soundtrack was money.

Stretch Armstrong (yep. Just like the song says)
Micronauts
Battlestar Galactica toys
Pong

The first Showtime/HBO slide top box.

you stupid frick, I was born in 82 and am technically a millennial, I had all of this as a kid. My first TV in my room was B&W.

You do realize there is another generation after millennials right?

Why do you come off like you were born in 42?

Bumping a thread from 10 days ago to respond is definitely a boomer move.

I still have one of those. Use it outside in the summertime.

You obvious have no idea when Millenials were born.

4 of those were mandatory in any elementary school the entire generation, and a manual transmission car isnt exactly a horse and buggy.
