We can guess your age based on your earliest TV memories
Did you first start watching shows in black and white or color? Did you have 3 channels or 300?
Like many other things, how we consume entertainment has changed a lot in the last half century. Ever since the dawn of television, a new innovation occurred at least once a decade, meaning kids born just a few years later had a different experience.
Whether it was switching to color, getting new channels with cable, adding things like video games and VHS players or never knowing a time before any of those, your earliest experiences in front of a television set can reveal a lot about you. Maybe even your age!

I'm 59. They said 56. I had Kool Aid and I did eat Bugles with dip. But I don't remember Whistles or Daisies. I can only remember color TV and we had one of those Antennas on the roof attached to the chimney. It had a remote that was plugged into the outlet. It was attached to a very long flat plastic wire and the remote was a big round dial that turned the Antenna to different channels.
Good guess, but I'm actually 69. I was born July 18th, 1952, and we had a black-and-white TruTone console TV in our house that had rabbit ears connected to it. My favorite singer at the time was Tennessee Ernie Ford, back in the late '50s.
It said I'm 64, but I'm *not* - I'm *59!* Off by five years!
(I was born on April 29, 1962.)
