80s Household Bingo

I must be somewhat stuck in the 80s. I still have a few of these!

There is still knotty pine panelling and wall-to-wall carpeting in my basement.

Can't shame me!! I will not part with that huge orange Tupperware bowl. I've tried to throw it out, but end up retrieving it.

I have two things. The folding wooden TV trays. I don’t use them but when I had lots of people over for BBQ.

And the granny crochet Afghan. My MIL made one for each of us and I can’t part with them.

@AuntG My giant Tupperware bowl is Harvest Gold ( from the 70's). I always used it to store the Chex Mix that I make for the holidays.

@scatcat I also love my Tupperware. A few years ago, I told my son that I would like a Pink Princess Phone for my birthday. He

found one. Not one of the new push button repros, it is a dial phone just like the one I had when I was in high school.

It is on the table next to my bed and I use it. What is great about the old Princess Phone is the night light when it is dark.

I only have a large Tupperware bowl, but when having an estate sale for my mom's belongings, she had many of these items. And, they were grabbed by the shoppers, too. Everything old is new again -- if you have the patience to wait ... Lol.

Colored toilet paper? I don't recall anyone with this 80's trend. Might need to bring that one back. Spring, summer, fall colors :-).

Guess my wife and I are more current. I mean this is showing 40 years ago. Just think, there was no internet or cell phones. Don't know how many here remember not having another appendage stuck to their ear or screen in their hand?

I have wall-to-wall carpet in some rooms which I love but have hardwood floors in other rooms. I have bllue flower corning ware that my Mother gave me years ago and it still does a very good job.

This is not on the list but I have and will always have wallpaper. I have loved it since I was a young girl.

I have a collection of cornflower blue Corningware. It is almost all I use to cook with. Wall to wall carpet upstairs. I don't even remember colored toilet paper. Was that really a thing? I only remember white with some tiny flowers on it.

Meowingkitty — Fri, 03 Jun 2022 12:28:01 GMT

I have none of them. Got rid of wall to wall carpeting in 1988.

faeriemoon — Fri, 03 Jun 2022 12:42:32 GMT

I don't have any of those. I do have a set of Pyrex mixing bowls with a mushroom design on them that I received as a shower gift in 1983. They're in the back of one of the cabinets that houses the stuff I seldom use.

A lot of that stuff listed is from back in the 60s and 70s.

Along with that strong perm smell <phew!>. 80's hair!

Banks used to give out really nice gifts for making deposits to your savings account. And I'm not talking toasters!

We purposely bought old Corning Ware with matching lids at a flea market near my house. Great for leftovers.

Oh my gosh I almost forgot colored toilet paper! Mama bought yellow for our bathroom and blue for hers and Daddy's bathroom!

I couldn't win Bingo, but I have 5 of them:

wall-to-wall carpeting upstairs, glasses from fast food place (Disney themed), magnetic calendar on refrigerator from one of our favorite restaurants, crocheted afghan DH's mom made for us when we were first married, and straw paper plate holders (but I never use them!).

I don't think I've ever seen colored toilet paper!

Thanks for sharing this @FlyersGirl! I can't wait to play this with my friends!
