The Slinky is younger than John McCain.
“What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, And makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing, Everyone knows it’s Slinky…
It’s Slinky, it’s Slinky, for fun it’s a wonderful toy.
It’s Slinky, it’s Slinky, it’s fun for a girl and a boy.”
Before the Slinky, kids played with rocks and sticks. And before that, John McCain was born.
(Thanks to Ellen L. and others for the tip!)

Kodachrome is younger than John McCain.
According to the Kodak website, the popular slide film (made even more popular-er from the classic Simon and Garfunkel song – who, incidentally, are both way younger than John McCain) can now only be processed at one remaining location in the world… Dwayne’s Photo Service in Parsons, Kansas.
In other words, Kodachrome, which is younger than John McCain, is almost dead.
