Although the 1950's looks like a dream, the amount of food they consumed was around 30% of what we eat today. So yes, your Mom or Wife might make donughts fresh in house for you once a month but you would only get one. Also cleaning up a deep fryer is a absolute nightmare that quickly caused it to fall out of style.
Good we shouldn't be eating so much food.... I say as I'm snacking on slim jims.... Also if you clean up the fryer right and do it outside its not that big of a mess.
Implying people eating 30% less than they do now would be a bad thing. Most modern people overeat by more than 50%. They weren't malnourished in the fifties, we're just all fatasses now.
1:12 Most people probably didn't catch this but the announcer says "New mammy holder..." The typical characteristics of a mammy figure was a black woman, often grinning/smiling widely presenting a cheerful disposition. This was first originated in the days of slavery where black women slaves were tasked to take care of domestic responsibilities like housework, childcare, etc. Over time, the mammy figure would soon create a false narrative that female black slaves were HAPPY and CONTENT being enslaved and in servitude in their respective households. The caricature of this figure would later parent the "southern hospitality" figure that people are more familiar with. So, though the "southern hospitality" comment was really cringe, I assure you the usage of "mammy" was way worse.
FYI, apologies in advance to anyone who was/is offended by my using the term "mammy". However, my using the term in comment was in sole purpose to explain its historical background. It would've been difficult for me to explain otherwise without using the term at all.

Stuff is still super racist (in the US), it just shifted to a different race/group. It is however not as prevalent as it used to be, nor does it determine the success one is allowed to have.
Ahhh, the good old days... I remember how grandma casually revealed how racist she is to me when a couple of migrants from Uganda moved in. Grandma is probably the nicest person you will ever meet and she's also very kind to them, but one day as I was visiting her I said hi to the neighbor's daughter as we had the same classes in Uni, and Grandma took me aside a bit later and asked me if i found the girl attractive. Personally, she wasn't my type, but I didn't think she was ugly. Grandma nodded along, then flatly told me "don't date black women". I kinda just stared at her completely surprised cause, again, grandma is still probably the kindest person I know. She clarified went "don't be mean to them or anything, just... be with your own kind, you know?" I tend to forget that she's a kid from the 40s and that "tolerance" back then had different limits.
@@marshmellowguy586 no. Humanity has problems that need to be solved in the future that require a united human race. The only options in the next 100-1000 years are cultural amalgamation aka the natural route where cultures mix and eventually form a new culture or cultural oppression. The easiest and most likely way for the latter is genocide but there is another way that is also prevalent aka rewriting the history books. If neither of those happen we won't be united enough to enter the space age or any of the unique problems that causes. I know i sound ridiculous but progress happens suddenly and explosively. Ask any scientist ever. I imagine my great-grankids will be in space. If we survive that long. It's important that we not hamper natural unity while fighting forced unity aka segregation or not marrying someone because of ancestral peer pressure.
@@marshmellowguy586 not an essay. Not nearly enough research for thay. You're wrong in a deadly way. That attitude will literally kill off humanity within the next 1000 years. Cultures being forced to stay separate introduces rigidity and while some ideas need to be temporarily rigid humans as a whole need to be able to fluidly adapt. Compatible cultures naturally melt together but even incompatible ones assimilate parts of other cultures. All majorly differing cultures are produced by lack of contact and genocide. Maybe I'm missing other causes. TL:DR adapt or die. Not letting cultures mix hampers adaptation.

It's important that we not hamper natural unity while fighting forced unity aka segregation or not marrying someone because of ancestral peer pressure.
@@Dragosmom. bro did you really write a novel all I said is that cultures should be separate.
@@marshmellowguy586 not an essay. Not nearly enough research for thay. You're wrong in a deadly way. That attitude will literally kill off humanity within the next 1000 years. Cultures being forced to stay separate introduces rigidity and while some ideas need to be temporarily rigid humans as a whole need to be able to fluidly adapt. Compatible cultures naturally melt together but even incompatible ones assimilate parts of other cultures. All majorly differing cultures are produced by lack of contact and genocide. Maybe I'm missing other causes.
TL:DR adapt or die. Not letting cultures mix hampers adaptation.
Future generations will be asking the same thing about us, "why was this so normal?", so I don't really think too much about it.
as lot of normal people today are wondering why so much crap is considered normal today...
transphobia, homophobia, the entire US Supreme Court being allowed to strip rights away from actual people and giving it to clumps of cells.
@@maevekirkland9452 I was thinking the otherside of the political spectrum... where our constitutional rights have been violated, general war crimes and acts of treason by our pm, etc..
I see you have 2 replies... but I can't see them... why not? this is weird.
@@Morrow1158 It looks like the first reply was deleted? I don't know. But they were talking about homophobia and other LGBT stuff not being accepted enough.
@@coldstuff9784 I think once that calms down that's gonna be what people look back at and be like "Why the fuck was that such an issue?"
There are reasons that we try to… disassociate ourselves from the past.
"Why is everyone in the comments freaking out about a paper towel hol-OH.
"...OH NO..."
SURPRISE RACISM!!!!
"Life was so much easier back then! They had everything figured out!"
Said Every White Boy Ever. 😂 I saw that shit coming a mile away
Ahhh the good ol' days. Makes me wanna go back and experience it
The instant regret you see in his face is priceless
"With a touch of southern hospitality" 💀
"Sean then was confussed, bewildered really as to the changes made to kitchens and society as a whole throught time when it seemed they had it all figured out in the past
In the next couple of seconds however he would quickly remember why things had to change"
“A little southern hospitality”
[Jack]: “Let’s go! I want that!”
[Jack, less than a minute later]: *“I no longer want that!”*
That's an aunt jemima "mammy", black americana paper towel holder. Last time I saw one of those it sold for 4500$ as a vintage black heritage collectors item.
You were a paper towel holder once?
I beg your pardon....
IT SOLD FOR HOW MUCH
AT WHERE
Wtf
@@Gamemaster-64 when the dyslexia hits 😆
Racism aside, what reality do you have to come from to just have a person shaped paper towel holder?
Like it's no one important, no fun theming, just a person, sitting there, holding your paper towels
With a touch of southern hospitality.
I mean, if it wasn't meant to be a racist depiction, sure i'd have a lil dude holding my paper towels, thanks buddy!
@@22TwentyTwo Well when you put it like that....
My aunt had one holding toilet paper. Idk it was weird. It wasn't racist themed unless I'm misremembering.
Grew up in the rural south. I remember seeing things like this people's kitchens well into the 90s.
This is both a TERRIBLE timing and a PAINFULLY FUNNY one
So how does the doughnut cutter work? Is it air compression like the larger Krispy Kreme extruders or just a plunger of some kind you push down?
Nevermind, upon closer inspection it looks like it works by plunger
Fucking was NOT prepared for the paper towel holder, holy geezums.
It's kinda weird how history and the place where you grow up in makes this incredibly different for different people. I'm from Brazil and seeing something like that in anyone's home around here no one would even bat an eye at something like that. But seeing this in a US house, specially in the south, would make my stomach turn
We had other things figured out.
We humans can never have everything figured at once. It’s against the law.
“They had it all figured out back then!”
*Remembers Racism*
Yeah even a few seconds before that paper towel holder showed up In the back of my mind I knew that didn't feel right what he said.
Jack: life was easy!
*sees paper towel holder*
Eyes: god help us
Tongue: good time to start tasting bad!
Ears: what the fu-
Nose: aye! What's goin on out there?
Brain: EVERYONE HOLD UP
Stomach: did you say THROW UP? OK THEN!
Somebody toucha his Southern Hospitality 🤣🤣 "Yo life easier back then they had it figured out---- OWWHHH NNOO"
What's weirder is even if you ignore the blatant racism it's still just straight up terrifying
But let's also remember that these were good ideas... I am not saying that everything was great then.
I think exterminating roaches is an amazing idea!
@@Muis33 huh?
@@Muis33 Sure, you first.
@@some-one-else Oh no love. We go together!
@@Muis33 oh you mean slimy weasley folk who just keep reproducing and making humanity weaker?
The ones who sow discourse and hate while rewriting our history?
Yep i hate racists too!
It went to "Life is easier back then" to "Oh no, forget what I said" 😂😅
A touch of southern hospitality
“Wow such a cool kitchen”
*shows a racist towel dispenser*
“Wow this kitchen is awful”
So like, what was racist about it?
@@DANCERcow essentially, pure black with red/oversized lips was an extremely racist stereotype that was popular during the 1970s
@@velvetdraws3452 More like 1950s and 60s when this type of kitchen was around.
@@DANCERcow it was just the kind of art style black people where portrayed in back in the day. not really that extremely racist just average amount of racism. it's more just the goofy way it was drawn that was the problem. like it portrayed them as being dumb.
@@velvetdraws3452 not really that extremely racist. just normal average racism and it was more the fact that they where drawn to be silly that was racist not the big oversized lips and pure black.
