Remember when googling was done by (assuming this info couldn't be found in the lexicon) calling directly to the source and asking the receptionist?

I remember my dad and uncle couldn't decide when they thought Coca Cola was founded, so they went to the phonebook, found the number for Coca Cola and just asked. They were happy to help, too. I also remember calling directly to the publisher for Disney comics to ask how much certain comics were, and they sent us a form in the mail that we would fill out to order the specific books we wanted, which then arrived in the mail like 2 weeks later. Pretty much the internet but with extra steps, mandatory human interaction and extremely long wait times lol.
