Yeah time is strange. I think when you live through 10-20 years of pop culture as an adult it doesn't feel that long, but then you think of the difference in music from 1960 to 1980 (for example) and that seems like 100 years of difference. The movie American Graffiti came out in 1973 and was set in 1962, but nostalgia was a huge part of it's success. Nostalgia for just 11 years earlier lol. But so much had changed. But it was still just 11 years.

Just went through this myself. A few weeks ago I added a playlist on Spotify with songs from my high school days, kinda thinking it was cool that I remembered so many lyrics. I felt like I hadn't heard them in a while, but not that long since they were new, you know?

...then I remembered the email I got a couple months ago about my 20th reunion being this year.

I grew up thinking Happy Days was an actual show from the 50s/60s

Nowadays, I think 90s nostalgia is the peak thing. You have people in their 20s-40s who remember growing up those times, and that's the target demo for things too.

I definitely prefer salt. I hate mustard.

Nothing makes me feel older than hearing a song that came out when I was growing up now being played on a classic rock station

The huge rock salt grains are just way too....salty. I prefer no salt, radioactive yellow beer cheese sauce, +/- mustard.

Agreed but they are useful for nausea and vomiting.
