Oops, I overlooked the alphabetic order part.
@DrBill Apparently Furbies are back. Saw a promotional poster at Walmart today.
I’m gonna do the whole alphabet because I want to impress people I’m so bored, and because I can. Also, I cheated real bad, too.
Arcade machines.
As you said, Betamax. Oh noo! Bay-tah!
These Pepsi cans.
Drive in theaters. Some are still around, but it’s a dying breed.
Good music by Econoline Crush.
Frankenberry cereal.
This original Gloworm. I believe they still exist though, but under different models.
Hungry Hungry Hippo ’‘board’’ game.
The Intellivision video game console.
Jacks.
Televisions with knobs to change the channel. I love those things.
These old locks. I have one too, but I don’t have the key so…
Big ass computer monitors.
Eighties neon fashion. Sure, neon fashion still exists, but it will never be as horrendously badass as back then.

The Phillips CD-i. Yes, this is a game console, not a VCR.

Oh, alphabetical order – silly me – I didn’t get that part.
@Coloma Irish Setter Dogs? What?
x ray machines in shoe stores.
@ucme – do you mean the dog is white or the shit is white??
@rooeytoo White shite, although I suspect you already knew this.
Back to alphabetical order – Legwarmers.
Also, dog shit is not often white any more because dogs are fed a more meat-rich diet (less bones) than in the past. When my dog has bones (as an occasional treat) her poop goes temporarily white.
@downtide Hey thanks for addressing me personally ;¬}
I have the distinct feeling someone here has given me that info before, deja vu or what like?
I guess we are up to “M” so I’ll say: Movie Theaters.
For “N” I was going to put “Nattering nabobs of negativism”, but they are, alas, all to common. So I’ll put down “National Tea Stores”.
Cassette? I remember when 8-tracks were the new thing
for “O” I will say Oversize Boom Boxes
R Radios with tubes in them.
2nd to that “Rabbit Ears’ on top of TV sets
V Vox guitar amps
2nd to that: VCR movies and players.
Wurlitzer B-3 organ (with Leslie speakers)
Y is either yo-yo or youth, I miss them both
X Xlax laxatives (at least they disappeared from around here that I can see)
H Horse drawn wagons on public streets (unless you are in Amish country)
Ink cartridge pens. They are still around but difficult to find.
K Kerosine lanterns lighting homes and businesses.
