      You’re so right! It was so innocent and wonderful compared to now. People were so different. Now that our society and economy are based on consumerism instead of manufacturing, the measure of success for most is money, instead of character. I remember Made in America was top of the line; our cars, our steel, our appliances, all of it.

      Well, not really. We had just lost Vietnam, and the Arab oil embargo was about to cripple us badly at home. We had an inflation rate so bad that Nixon had to intervene with price-fixing. Our airliners were being hijacked regularly and blown up. There were still race riots in our cities, and even one that year in the navy. The Soviets also terrified us into signing a nuclear arms reduction treaty. I remember the early seventies as a time of disarray at home and humiliation overseas. Yes, there was breezy bluster in these ads, but there's that in today's ads too. (Probably more sabre-rattling now, as a matter of fact). I remember it being really uncool for anyone to fly the flag in front of their house.

    I am delighted these idly digitized/gathered commercials are pinging childhood memory cells of so many viewers. Some of these came from my own personally-recorded VHS garbage pile (grabbed with a Canopus ADVC-100 over Firewire, hooked up to mid-90s VCRs), and some came from online archives scattered all over the web. Ah lurvs this kind of she-it, myself. However, RUclips has repeatedly pulled the rug out from under me when this channel was ripe for monetization. Thus, uploads are more sparse these days. But it doesn't mean they've stopped. Keep watching this channel because who knows when new batches will be uploaded.

    That first guy in the Slim Jim ad is Dr. Beeper from "Caddyshack." And that's Jennifer Warren in the Tiparillo commercial. Betsy Palmer in the Lux commercial was later Jason Voorhees's mom in "Friday the 13th." Dena Dietrich (aka Chiffon Margarine's "Mother Nature") and Franklin Cover (Tom Willis on "The Jeffersons") in the Glad oven bags commercial.

    I was 23 years-old in 1972, and I remember seeing about four of these t.v. ads back in the day. 'Ring around the collar' stands out. BTW, look how big those Hostess cakes and pies were back then for about 25 cents, compared with today's.

    The Slim Jim commercial is especially interesting. If you eat more than two of those within ten minutes, your flatulence will glow in the dark, a bilious yellow-green cloud that eventually dominates the room. Obviously, Slim Jims were trial balloons as an instrument for use in combat, before the military industrial complex settled on infra-red heat imaging technology.

    The minimum wage in 1972 was $1.60 an hour. So if you were making $3 an hour you were making good money. Gasoline was still about 32 cents a gallon until the end of 1973.
    Some of these products of course are long gone. Others are still going strong.

    Thank you. Fantastic collection of commercials from circa 1972. I get a kick out of all the comments about how simple and great America was in 1972. Actually, the country was even more divided than today. Of course, Vietnam had a lot to do with it but the country was sharply divided by many of the same "culture war" issues we have today. Inflation was so bad in 1971 , Nixon ordered a "wage price freeze" . A year later in 1973, an OPEC oil embargo triggered the first so called "energy crisis" . Also, the county had just as many social and environmental problems then as now . The main difference is we have much better technology today but everything else really hasn't changed much in 50 years😕
