Some of these are region-dependent, maybe, but I'm older than dirt
with 19.
Actually, I determined that dirt is exactly 42 years and 364 days old,
because, on my 45th birthday, my wife told me that I was older than
dirt.

No, we didn't have that, but I remember our telephone number when it
was a 4-digit number...4944. That should count for 2 points.

Yes.

Didn't have him on TV here when I was a kid...Friendly Giant, Chez

What's so weird about S&H? They still give out Green Points even
today. They still do 'em here at Lowe's Foods. They've gone
digital, though, and call them S&H Greenpoints.

Not weird, I just thought it might have been a regional thing, as I also
remember some sort of red stamps from one of the other stores. National
had S&H and the A&P had the red ones I think.
