Default Baby Boomer Quiz.

Try this for those of us that are Baby Boomers.... and any of you young'uns that think you know the answers.

Now I am a Baby boomer, but I did get 5 out of 60 wrong. It's tricky and not as easy as you might think. There are a few, 5 I know of that will throw you or have a second answer that will be wrong. The rest... let's see. LOL

That website is a laggy pos.

I'm not a baby boomer.

Missed three. When you are raised on a farm, and arise at 4 A.M. to do the chores, you DON'T stay up for the National Anthem. I didn't see the Tonight Show until after college.

Website is slow as molasses in February, but some of the questions brought back some fond memories.

I quit taking it after they called miniskirts knickers. The person that made the quiz couldn't pass it.

I missed the first question ... it said "Do you have time to waste on this"
My answer was no.

56 out of 60. I missed the one with the flower stickers, however that was the wallpaper pattern in our bathroom when I was a kid. My older sister picked it out!

If you have the time to waste on the slowness of the website, these quizzes are fun as they bring back totally forgotten memories, regardless of how you score.

Also interesting that different areas of the country MIGHT have different names for different items.

And occasionally, you get one where an answer is just plain wrong! There was a quiz about John Wayne movies a few years ago; and a question about the "weapon" Maureen O'Hara used in the mud slide fight in "McClintock". The "correct" answer was feather. The real answer was a hat pin. Probably the youngster that made out the quiz had never heard of a hat pin.

Born 1968 and got 53 out of 60, but at least 3 were because the page scrolled as I clicked.
I missed the national anthem because when I was a kid, it came on at 11:30 when all 3 channels went off the air after the 11 o'clock news.
Also missed Donna Reed & the flower sticker question.

I missed the flower sticker, as well as the radio and the name of the turtle.

The website wasn't slow for me,but every time i would select next,it would go to the top of the page,then i would have to page down to submit answer. pita
