Green Stamps at Publix? Man, I used to love getting those things.

Doctors that spend more than five minutes with you? At your scheduled time.

Common courtesy? A "please" or "thank you" every now and then would be nice.

Men opening the car door for the woman accompanying him?

And women patient enough to wait until we get to that side of the car?

Pixie Stix? You know, diabetes in a straw.

Putting sugar on your cereal and getting to that glucose quicksand at the bottom of the bowl.

Those little candy cigarettes we all seemed to have when we were kids?

Just 3 channels on TV (4 if you were lucky) and no need for a remote control.

Oh wait, we kids were the remote control ... trying to get the antenna positioned just right to get that channel

Those weeknight poker games where we were all shushed off to our rooms so the dads could play?

How about adding your ideas to the "Whatever happened to ..." list?
