Welcome to BLAST FROM THE PAST!

BLAST FROM THE PAST! is a new and unique service that offers you a personal blast from the past.
What we do: We offer teleportation of commercially available products from the past (see limitations) that are no longer available in our time to you at an affordable price. Simply put, we send our extensively trained buyers back to the time period when the item was commercially available, and they make the purchase using the money of that era and bring it back for you to enjoy.
Limitations/forbidden items: BLAST FROM THE PAST! will not teleport the following for purchase; any living animals (humans included) or plants, no substance containing a drug that is illegal, no item that was recalled because it caused severe injury, illness or death. We also are unable to provide items like one of your mom's apple pies since we try to limit interactions with the past as much as possible and only provide items that were available to the public in stores.
BLAST FROM THE PAST! is not liable for any injury, whether it be fatal or non-fatal from the use of any of the legally teleported products.


So what's it going to be? Would you like to taste Coca-Cola from back before it became Classic Coke? Is there a clothing item from your youth that you'd like to own again? How about the very first issue of Playboy?

Place your order now using the comment box.

I really can't think of anything good. There was lots of things I loved when I was a kid, but I don't think I would want them back. Maybe the cat we had growing up, but then that could be a bit freaky, like Pet Semetary...

I'm in my youth now and I don't remember much about the 90s except icky stirrup pants..
I don't want anything from before that because it won't mean anything.

Yeah, it is, but it's probably the only place that carries it currently. I recently ordered some Lifebuoy soap from them.

It doesn't necessarily have to be anything from your own youth. It could be something you've heard a family member talk about.

I want a Marathon Bar, a discontinued candy bar by Mars, although Cadbury's Curly Wurly is a nice substitute, I want a Marathon because "It lasts a good long time." And candy cigarettes too. Oh yeah, & the original Jello Pudding Pops. They are still around but they are shaped differently and that makes a big difference to me and then there was this great line of cosmetics put out by Revlon called R Pro, great stuff. I can't find it anymore. And also Loreal made a great eyeliner that was as long as a pencil and lasted forever, gone. They made it shorter & even though they charge less it seems that the tip always breaks off and is not as good a quality product anymore. And then when I was a kid I had this Mr. Snuffulupagus floor puzzle, it was huge. I want one of those & my Speedy Gonzales plastic dinner set & my Ernie & Bert baby bottles. Oh yeah & all of my stuffed animals that we lost in the flood. And most importantly if you can recover some personal items that were stolen from me, my grandfathers .22 & my silver collection my dad gave me, that would be priceless. I'll let you know if I need your services in the future & please just pay my debt by getting in touch w. my old roommate. He still owes me money.

Sorry, but no exceptions. Personal interactions with family members can cause problems with the time line.

Oh, Gerald is not a family member. But all the same, I understand the policy of no personal interference. I would like you to buy me a small gift, less than $50, something sentimental, like a pill box or a candle or a beautiful dress & give it to me w. a card signed, Love Scott. He's dead but it would feel like it was from him and that would mean the world to me. I guess I could do that with out your service but all the same, it would feel like it was from him.

Could you get my mom's favorite cloak I lost? She had it as a teen and let me wear it. I lost it.. It was a warm cloak, like a winter coat, dark green with gold trim and big beautiful buttons.

If not that how about the suitcase I tossed into a dumpster downtown? I was serious about burning bridges when I decided to be straight and threw away every photograph, letter and note from my teen age girlfriends and friends. I was a 'punk rocker' and it would be fun showing people the pics of me like that. I also miss all of those young ladies from my past.

Parallel universes. They say that "Somewhere there's somebody who looks just like you do, acts just like you do & feels the same way you do. Somewhere in a far away place w. a different face that acts the way you do." The lyrics go something like that. It's an Edie Brickell song.

I'd like to have the suckers (candy) from my childhood. They were cinnamon suckers that were about a 1" square cube on a stick. They were good and hot. I loved those things as a kid. I haven't seen them since I was about 6 or 7 years old.

I want my one and only bicycle I ever had...the one with the big fat tires. I had it for only 6 months and then my parents decided to auction off everything that wouldn't fit into the family station wagon for a cross country trip to California!! No, they were not hippies, just insensitive.
