If you were born between 1954 to 1965, you're neither the Baby Boom generation nor Generation X — You are Generation Jones and chances are, you experienced these 30 nostalgic things growing up.
1. Using These Ice Cube Trays

Our fingers would always stick to the tray, making it really hurt to pull them off.
2. Listening to Supertramp

Supertramp was the soundtrack of our high school years.
3. Listening to Heart

Who else bought Dreamboat Annie with their allowance money and just had to see them play in concert in the late '70s?
4. Playing Twixt

Let's be honest. We all used to spend hours playing this game with our friends from school. It was addicting.
5. Watching Space: 1999 (1975-1977)

_Space: 1999 _without a doubt turned many of us onto science fiction as a genre. In the years following, we were all obsessed with Star Trek and Star Wars.
6. Listening to Three Dog Night

The beginning of the song "Joy to the World," with the lines “Jeremiah was a bullfrog / Was a good friend of mine…” bring back such good memories.
7. Eating Cool Whip

Cool Whip wasn't actually whipped cream, but rather a non-dairy whipped "topping" made from hydrogenated vegetable oils. It was nonetheless a delicious staple ingredient for so many desserts growing up.
8. Playing in the Holidome

If you were lucky enough to go on vacation and stay at a Holiday Inn, you'll probably remember the iconic Holidome. It was the hotel's indoor water park that promised (and delivered) so much fun.
9. Sitting on Furniture That Looked Exactly Like This

These Earth tone chairs, as ugly as they were, had no right being that comfortable. Today's furniture just doesn't compare.
10. Eating Quisp Cereal

Who else was a Quisp every morning kind of kid?
11. Taking Lunch to School In One of These Lunch Boxes

There were so many themed metal lunch boxes, like the Peanuts, Bobby Sherman, the Beatles, Holly Hobbie, and the A-Team. Which one did you have?
12. Eating Jello 1-2-3

The lime was absolutely magical. It was so good.
13. Getting 7up Glasses at Pizza Hut

Who else remembers the 7up Glasses that you'd get at Pizza Hut? They were upside down, in line with the "uncola" trend.
14. Playing With SSP Racers

SSP racers were the best toys to play with.
15. Taking a Macrame Class

Did anyone else's parents make them take macrame classes at the local community center? At least we learned practical skills, like how to make plant hangers, hammocks, and other weird stuff that could've one day become home decor.
16. Getting Driven Around in a Station Wagon

Chances are, your parents probably drove you around in a station wagon.
17. Watching The Edge of Night (1956-1984)

Okay, maybe you didn't actually watch The Edge of Night, but you were definitely seated on the couch as your mom was watching it. The soap opera was one of the best mystery crime dramas of the era.
18. Eating Honey-Comb Cereal

Who else remembers eating Honey-Comb? The sweet honeycomb-shaped cereal made breakfast the best meal of the day.
19. Chewing Aspergum For Fast Pain Relief

Which was better in your opinion — the orange flavor or the cherry flavor?
20. Playing With the Girder and Panel Building Set

We used to build anything and everything like multi-level car parks and skyscrapers. It was fun pretending like we were actually architects.
21. Listening to Boz Scaggs

Boz Scaggs fans will remember the first moment they heard one of his songs, whether it was "Lido Shuffle" or "Lowdown." Iconic.
22. Reading the Trixie Belden Book Series

The Trixie Belden books were about a thirteen-year-old girl named Trixie who lived in the fictional town of Sleepyside-on-Hudson and solved mysteries with the help of her friends, Honey Wheeler and Di Lynch. Who else read all of the books?
23. Listening to the Panasonic Panapet

The Panasonic Panapet radio came in several fun colors like red, yellow, white, blue, purple and avocado green. It introduced us to some of the best music of the era.
24. Playing Chutes and Ladders

Chutes and Ladders was probably the first board game of many kids who grew up in this era.
25. Wearing Body Suits

Body suits were great as far as keeping your shirt tucked in, but they always came unsnapped! Plus, they were horrible every time you had to use the rest room.
26. Eating Suzy Qs

Remember Hostess' Suzy Qs? Released in 1961, they were an absolutely delicious snack that would always give us chocolate-covered "Suzy Q fingers."
27. Listening to Jim Croce

Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle" (1973), "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" (1973), "Big Wheel" (1969) and "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues" (1974) still play in our head on repeat. He was a tremendous talent that left this world way too soon.
28. Eating Chun King

Who else remembers eating Chun King? There was nothing like their chow mein. Honestly, it was Chun King that probably introduced many of us to water chestnuts and bean sprouts.
