Can you name anything that youngsters of today won't know?

The dial-up connection tone.

Remember it from my childhood but I doubt many kids these days know it (I'm only 26 as it is).

Edit: this includes being unable to use the phone whilst connected to t'interwebs.
Good memories, that! And for those getting the jitters from lack of exposure to said 28.8 (or the, in comparison, incredibly fast 56K!) modem dial-up sound, here's your solution: https://www.dialupsound.com. *Ahhhhhh*
 
Spangles sweets, Texan bars, Cremola foam fizzy pop drink.

Amstrad CPC464 computer and its predecessor, my almighty powerful Commodore VIC20 with a massive 5k of RAM!

Telephones with a dial.

Televisions with curved screens like a goldfish bowl in a faux-wooden cabinet that weighed at least a tonne.

2-star and 4-star petrol. Was there 3-star?

Remember filling up with 2 Star in my Ford Fiesta Pop 957cc, until I had the free conversation to unleaded.
 
At primary school only being allowed to write with a pencil until you were judged worthy of moving onto a fountain pen. Ball-points were not allowed.

Teachers being allowed to mark in red ink, throw chalk / board rubbers at you or deliver a clip around the ear. Linked to this, being afraid of your parents finding out because they'd side with the teachers.

Bobbies on the beat.
