Things from your childhood that no longer exist

[Syt]

I miss having all Bundesliga matches on one day, at the same time (Saturdays 3:30pm).

Now you have one match on Friday 8:30pm, 5 in the old time slot, one Saturday 6:30pm, and two Sunday at 3:30pm and 5:30pm. They're considering to move one more match away from Saturday.

Tall glass bottles of soda or beer

Yeah, glass bottles have pretty much disappeared with the exceptions of beer, liquor, small cokes, and some fruit juices/syrups.

Am I missing something? There's still a bunch of arcades around...

Yeah, lots of things I'm seeing in this thread are either still around or enjoying a resurgence in popularity.

In the old days, you could even see an arcade game in some bars or cafés. Not so anymore. There are only a couple of real arcades around nowadays in Paris to give an example (La Tête dans les Nuages et Arcade Street). The only other I know are smaller and are in IMAX multiplexes outside Paris (Gaumont Eurodisney and Pathé Quai d'Ivry).

Yeah, they aren't as common as they were when I was a kid, but they are far from nonexistent. I can think of two pretty big ones in Barcelona, and pretty sure there's more.

I was in a couple when I lived in NYC, too. And to another in LA.

Candy cigarettes. I loved those chalky bastards

Those are still around. There is a huge candy store in Maine that carries them. I got Laura  big box of them once from Amazon.

Jeux sans frontières, I loved that show.

Jeux sans frontières, I loved that show.

Yeah, and better Europe?

[DontSayBanana]

Yeah, what Dave & Buster's calls an arcade is pitiful; the best arcades I've seen are at laundromats- the only place one can still play pinball.

Been considering just building my own arcade cab, either from scratch or from something like a JAMMA kit.

As in the only Europe the Brits were prepared to accept?

Possibly, for many Brits perhaps that is the case?
