Big Bang Theory is still on TV. I have no idea why.

Reality TV in general for me. How many times can people stay interested in the exact same concept over and over again? Especially when it's so obviously scripted or at the very least heavily edited to fabricate drama where there was none.

Alex Trebek. That man should have gone insane or returned to the fifth dimension decades ago.

Fresca.

I actually bought a two liter Friday.

[Hit Girl]

Skateboards that don't hover

Flintstones vitamins and Pebbles cereal. Today's kids probably aren't even aware that there was ever more to those characters beyond those two products.

Fax machines. I was forced to use one just yesterday to send some paperwork and I don't understand why I can't just scan and email instead.

My doctor's office still faxes things so I have to go to the library and use theirs, it's free so why not

Go to a Walgreens and you'd think you were zapped back into time. You'll find Clark or 5th Avenue candy bars, Anacin or Bufferin for your arthritis, Diet Rite 2-liters, & Wildroot hair tonic for looking your 1940s best.

Just the other day I was doing a delivery and the lady at the bar I was at was drinking a tab. I was like where the hell did you get that? Had no idea it was still made.

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

'Grey's Anatomy' is still on the air

Sears/K-Mart.

I was at a K-Mart last weekend - felt transported back to the 80s until I saw the price tags.

They are more secure than email so a lot of government and doctor's offices still prefer them.

My Sega Game Gear.

After hearing so many stories about how badly they were made, I think mine is the only working Game Gear in the entire world.

When I worked at Goodwill, I photographed at least 6 Game Gears. All of them had bad screens.

Tupac.

[Vanilla Gorilla]

My wife's original GameBoy and our games, all of which still work!

There are still Rax restaurants in Ohio!

Holy crap! That's a place I haven't thought about in years.

There's actually one about 30 minutes from my place. Just might have to pay it a visit.

I seriously hope mine continues to work. I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't able to play my Streets of Rage or Shinobi games!

I think the main problem you will encounter with a GameBoy is screen fade. I've still got one but I only ever played Tetris on it, the GameBoy was sadly neglected in favour of my above mentioned Game Gear.
