Popular everyday stuff that didn't exist when you were a kid!

Just got out the shower and had an odd thought - people didn't have showers when I was a kid. People only had baths! But that means shower gel didn't really exist then either!

So what other stuff didn't exist when you were a kid?

Other things for me are computers. People started having them in their homes when I was a teenager and the internet only really became common after I had moved out. Mobile phones. No-one really had them until I was in my 20's, you used to go and use a phone box. I remember when someone I knew had a mobile that could receive text messages but not compose or send them, she received one in error and we were way excited to see one for the first time
