"Nostalgic Americana" - white people who have never been to a rural area. Wanna know what they sell at the actual old country store? Head cheese and flashcubes that have been on the shelf since 1988.

Make it real and call it Dollar Barrel.

I'm from an actual rural area and I thought Cracker Barrel was just a cheese company until I first saw one of the restaurants after moving away for college. At first I was confused and thought it was some kind of cheese-focused restaurant chain.

This might have been my favorite camera I ever owned. Might didn’t have even beat my SLR camera that I took out a loan for when I was 18 that cost $300

I love change and technology. But there was something about those flash cubes. Getting a new box of them and knew that you had that many pictures you could take. Then sending your roll of film off getting it in the mail 2 wks later And you get the surprises of man did I take a crummy picture!

Ah yes, the "what the hell was that photo of?", "who photoed their thumb?" "Argh, this would be a lovely photo except glare 😢"

True Nostalgic Americana is that feeling when you realize you didn't load the film correctly, so you have zero photos of your cousin's wedding, but it's fine because they get divorced less than a year later.

I looked at that and thought it said "99¢" Rum. My brain was all, "damn their Fotomat sold Rum?" 🤣

So it wasn’t as painful when you looked through the prints and only found 1 satisfactory shot out of 20.🤣

Oh it was…. The problem is even with digital I still have to take about 100 shots before I get one that I would let anyone see

Growing up in Rochester, NY, Kodak and Xerox were THE shining jewels and if you were lucky enough to land a job at either you were set for (a good middle-class) life. Sad to have witnessed their downfall in real time.

My dad bought a Polaroid instant camera back when they first came out. $300. I actually still have a couple photos back from 1974 that tucked away in a scrapbook are still in decent shape
