Not anymore.
...also sort of remember some 'Viceroy' cigarette coupons or something like that that also had a book, but I could be wrong...uncle used to save them for me, but that was in another life.

little blue ones ?????
I did when we were trading in them. They'd be given out at either Supermarkets primarily (not gas stations). I recall how the check out clerk would punch in the amount on the little dispenser machine and it would spit out the correct number of stamps (including the "fat boys" that were worth one row of the smaller stamps.
Snipers Hide has STAMPS! No way!
Unsure, sir...but texting sis to see if she remembers. I thought they were in addition to green stamps and he received them for cigarettes, but I'll find out (googled Viceroy or Chesterfield stamps, but nothing jogged the memory).
Found a link in the archives for GS, though:
***Wait. Maybe the ones he saved were for smokes...found this in the back of that archive link (but he didn't smoke them, I don't think, so must be other brands added along the way...maybe).
I was VERY young and not as well-versed in boomer lore as much as some of you.
Heheh…
See the blue seal on this pack
That was normal on all American soft packs. Does anyone remember the ones in Subic that had a pink and white seal? Real Marlboros would cost you about 20P on the street if I recall correctly, the local version with the pink seal was about 5P. (20P/$ back then). If you had had enough San Miguel, and it was late enough, that five peso pack looked like a deal. The next morning, when you’re hung over ass pulled one out and lit it without noticing the seal, your lungs would jump out on the table. I swear they were rolled with dried banana leaves in the street sweeping.

Endflap from a carton of Kool cigs and a few bucks and dad had this shipped to him
Sailed the shit out of the little styrofoam boat on the Fremont Lakes in Eastern Nebraska
This isn't the one we had but looked exactly like it.
We had both Green Stamps and Gold Bond Stamps depending which in which grocery we shopped.
18 cents a gallon. I was driving bout 12 years old. Till dd me to bring my car home.$0.23.......
You're probably younger than me, so you've got that going for you.
Hell, I remember when ski lift tickets to high end resorts were $4.25 per day.
Then we fixed what was wrong, and i had to wait till 16YO.
1942 or earlier
Here’s what a gallon of gas cost the year you started driving
For nearly every mile driven, American consumers find themselves inextricably linked to a complex global commodity that can have a major impact on the cost of cruising: fuel.

2025 - 1942 = 83 + 12 = 95 ?
Nope. We lived next to farm country. The sheriffs did not seem to mind as long as you followed the laws.
I HAD ONE OF THESE!!!!
$88 shipped, lasted for about 5 years.
Thanks for the memories!
Lest ye forget, our man Bond is English. And England being part of Great Britain has gone completely muslim DEI woke (talk about two totally different ideologies
). And thus if there is a new James Bond to be found, he surely must look like. Take your pick, they both qualify.
NO... HELL NO... & FUCK NO...
1. That's more like 3 tons of bitches.
2. Don't even trust the bj... On of them thinks it's an Oscar Mayer , and you're pissing sitting down from now on.
One of the best part of the show. The hound was one of best characters..
Similar to the guy fighting off the wabbits.Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I believe that’s from the first one, The Gunslinger.
And now you know…

Is it wrong that I gave this t-shirt to a friend of mine that was a functioning alcoholic?
Yeah because that bitch don’t know what food tastes like
I’d vote OBL by it’s iffy if he’s availableLest ye forget, our man Bond is English. And England being part of Great Britain has gone completely muslim DEI woke (talk about two totally different ideologies

Man that’s a POS, but I want one. I was a sailing mother fucker back in the day my dad’s buddy always had nice boats and he taught us to sail. Luckily for him I took to it and would drop what I was doing to go so he never had trouble finding someone to do all the work while he sat back
I’m a loud motor mind of guy, but there’s something about sailing.
Those not so skinny things are lucky if they weigh 1 ton together. Well maybe not lucky.
I believe he asked that because of these sentences:
It makes no sense to me either.
It makes no sense to me either.
Well, theoretically he's almost 100 years old so he's earned the right not to make sense.
My turn. 30 yr dealer tech so tons of stories, but these are my 2 favorites. I'm standing at the service writer's desk, customer says "it sounds like a baseball rolling around under my seat". I went out and looked under his seat. You will never in a million years guess what I found SMH. Next one, guy brings in his bottom of the line new Lexus. Dash rattle. Drove it, no rattle, boss says fix it. R&R the dash, foam everything. Guy comes back, says "dash rattle". R&R the dash, foam even the stupid stuff. Third time boss drives the car, nothing. Tells customer to come in and demonstrate noise. On the test drive the customer tells me it's a waste of time because it only makes the noise on a sub-zero morning when he backs the car out his driveway over the curb.

Why the fuck do other countries put the stupid fake laughing over videos? Shits annoying
I had an older gentleman bring in a new X5 complaining that the lane departure warning was not working. I road test and it is working without fault. I bring it into the shop and run faults (for due diligence and the extra .5 labor time) and check for relevant faults. Nothing, send it. Next week same X5, same complaint. Again, road test and its working perfectly. My brain is trying to wrap itself around this and it hits me. I go ask the advisor to call the customer. With the customer on speaker I ask if the key fob he left with us is the one he uses or the spare. Its the spare. the customer had selected lane departure off on his key fob and not on the spare.
