"I haven't had my film developed yet"

"Are you passing me your tape to copy it?"
In the 1980s, all young people used audio cassettes (1,9685 by 4,72441 inches object made up of several meters of a thin strip) to listen to their music ...
To read them, you had to have a hi-fi system, a stereo set or a walkman (which became very popular in the 90s).
We copied the music by putting the cassette to be copied on the left and another “blank” (empty) cassette on the right then we pressed “play” and “rec” to have the same 30 songs as the friends ...
As a bonus, a video of children learning about the walkman and audio cassettes today :)

Hello everyone ! It's the day of our 80s expressions!
Do you remember “You don't want 100 balls and a Mars (with)? "
It was an expression that expressed that we were asked a lot and that we did not want to do more and that we could now replace with "And then what?" ".
