What things do you still use from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s?

I am not talking about syrup brand or spaghetti sauce that you have been using for decades.
I am talking about personal possessions from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s that you still use to this day.

I have a radio, with 2 cassetteplayers, that I'll sometimes use.

I have the one-time yellow ubiquitous yellow Sony Walkman too, but the earphones havent worked in years. Bummed.

Any standards earphones should work with it.

jeez, that's a surprisingly tough question. I didn't graduate college until 2002, and married in 2004, so I'm not sure that I own anything from before then.

I purchased good pots and pans and kitchen knives in the mid 90s. I still use them everyday.

My road bike and golf clubs are also from early 90s.

Le Creuset cookware
Christmas holiday dishes
A piano

I think those are the only objects we use from 70s/80s. That seems so sad, in a way.

Guitar I bought myself as a present when going off to grad school in 1983. Camping gear - still use a high quality down sleeping bag. But I don't camp much anymore so that's why it has lasted so long.

I have a blender I bought in the early 90's that still works really well. I used it last night. I have flat wear that was my sisters when she first moved into her own apartment late 80's). She gave it to me when she got married and I still use as back up when I have a lot of guests. Holiday decorations and serving platters from the 70's that were my moms. I have an over night bag that I bought early 90's that my husband uses.
