Where to Watch
Sorry, Millennials, only Boomers will be able to recognize these 11 objects
What the heck is that gizmo?
Gadgets and whatnot all kind of look the same today -- flat, sleek, shiny. Back in the day, there were a lot more knobs and chrome.
Below you will find 11 everyday objects from the 20th century. Well, close-up fragments of them.
But we think a Boomer will recognize the whole thing from just a part. You probably have to be Gen-X or older to recognize them all!
Try to guess all 11!

Where would you put these cubes?

I'm a GenXer and we used every last one of those things - and I got all 11 correct.
You got 11 out of 11
You are either a Boomer... or a fan of antiques! Nice work!

11 of 11. Even a GenXer would handily know these.
I confused the Pee Chee folder with a box for Wheaties cereal as was probably expected to occur but the typewriter ribbon was intimidating .
I'm a boomer and missed #6 and #8. Never used either.
How did you clean your records?
Well I'm a boomer and I had no idea what #8 was.
I only knew it because I've done this quiz before and I got it wrong the first time.
I got 10/11 The only one I missed was #8. I thought it was a box of Wheaties.
Same here
Me too.
The drawing was too rudimentary for a cereal box.
Have to be a boomer....sorry millennials? Have they forgotten there is a generation in between? Because we X-ers aren't social media hounds constantly drawing attention to ourselves we what..get overlooked? You forget we either grew up with these objects too or we at least recognize them from the movies of our youth :(
8/11; missed 6, 8 & 10.

11/11. Either I am a boomer, a fan of antiques, or an antique...

One can also be all three.
Never saw one of those folders on #8. Looks like that lady just blasted that kid with that racket. Maybe my eyes are just too tired . . . Got all the rest, though.
We lived waaay out of town, so my parents discouraged extracurriculars other than chores at home. I carried plain colored folders while many of my friends carried Pee-Chees.

I lived IN town, and I've never heard of Pee-Chees. Must be a local thing making it ineligible for this quiz.
Pee Chee is national and now made by Mead. They were even featured in Stranger Things.
11/11 but I guessed on #8. Never saw one of those.

I love old sitcoms and in Perry Mason, a drama I love, there are cigarette machines practically every episode and on an episode of The Facts Of Life there was a cigarette machine in a bus station and there wete vending machines in Eastland School.

I got 9 out of 11. It took me a few minutes to guess that cigarette lighter. It's been a long time since I've seen one. When I was a kid my parents were big time smokers. He died from lung cancer and she has COPD.

What about the church-key can opener?
What good was it financing a derelict to by some beer if you couldn't access product?

I got 9 and I was born in 1984. We used most of these things still well into the 90s....
