I remember both of my grandmothers and my Mom collecting S&H Green stamps
I still have an old Green Stamp book my Mom left me with a bunch of photos and personal effects.
I was gifted a number of green stamp books that I got several of my first house keeping items with!
I have some green stamps Got to dig them out.
My grandmother gave me a big bag of S&H Green Stamps when I got married. I was able to fill my first house up. I still have a few.
My Aunt and Uncle would come over once a week to watch I Love Lucy. They didn’t have a TV.
I was born in 1957 and as a full fledged Baby Boomer I TOTALLY remember EVERY one of these 50 things, n miss ALL of them!!!
What do you miss the most?
Ah, the days I grew up in 60's and 70's
On April 17 1964 Ford brought out the MUSTANG, It just turned 60 years old just a couple of weeks ago!. My first matchbox car was in 1966, It was the number 20 1964 Chevrolet Impala taxi, which I bought another one many years later!.They didn't metion mattels other major smash of the 1960s and that was in 1968 which was HOTWHEELS!!!!,Redlines and spectraflames got my first set for Christmas in 1968!!!!.My first Hot Rod magazine in 1966 so you see where this is going!!!!.All those Classics that many a folk remember nowdays I remember when they were new, And there were orher things 'bout the 60s that I remember some not so fondly!!!!.
Five and Dime! the dollar store of the 60's and 70's.
As a kid the sears and j c pennys catalogs meant Christmas shopping to us.
Moshi
Yes, my brother and I couldn’t wait for the catalogs to arrive.
@@katiepage5985 my brothers and I either. We’d earmark all the pages of the toys we wanted to put on our Christmas lists. The good ol days.
The phone books were great too. It’s impossible to find anyone’s phone number without them now.
Moshi
You forgot, bubblegum, saddle oxfords, slinky’s, frosted lipstick,mini-skirts, invention of panty hose, Captain Kangaroo, 45’s and Twiggy.
And white lipstick a la Twiggy that make you look like a corpse.
Also strawberry lip gloss😊
Strawberry Boone's Farm too! 😄😄😄😄😄😄
How about..go go boots! ..clackers.. super mini skirts with matching super short shorts! 🎉😂
Great idea!!
What else do you have in your mind?😊
Ahhhh drive in movies...from childhood to young adults days...the entire family piling into the rambler station wagon..mom making enuf popcorn to fill that very LG paper bag..stopping by A &W for a jug of root beer.....
Remember when the companies (all better now) cared about the consumer? Yeah, it's been that long ago 😂
That fact these days seems unbelievable! They actually believed that the customer was always right. Of course, that attitude successfully brought much return business, so it was a great business model. 😂
*companies 🤨🤔🤦🤷
@@JediLoreen it's the phones fault 🤣 oh to be perfect and notice only flaws in others.
I remember smoking in hospital rooms! You had a little foil ashtray in the drawer space of the rolling dinner tray.
nostalgic.... isn't it?
There were no restrictions on smoking back then. The little foil ashtray...yep, I remember it well as I was both a nurse and a patient in the 70s. Seems crazy now, doesn't it!!
My grandfather smoked his pipe when he visited my grandmother in the hospital.
I was glad when smoking was banned in public because I hated coming home from work with my hair and clothes stinking. I'd have to take a shower when I got home to get rid of the odor. I did like the scent of my grandfather's pipe but his cigars were revolting smelling and stunk up our house for several days after he left to go back home.
How about the Doctors smoking their pipes or cigarettes as they did their daily hospital patient rounds.
Got my banana bikefrom woolworths , where Mom worked. Ate at thise counters, had shag carpet in the bathroom..pet rocks, bell bottoms..smoked on the planes and people were crazy with Jello molds and Sanka. The music was amazing
Some banana seat bikes were called Sting Rays!
Music was king in those days never to be repeated I'm afraid.
Those were the days. I just took a picture of a phone booth. I felt like i found a unicorn 😂
Ditto 😊😂
I've had my lava lamp on display since the 80s.
NICE!! My son bought me one for Christmas!!
Me too! Mine is in my living room.
I remember I got so excited for Thanksgiving, because within a week after we would get the Sears Christmas catalog. Then it was on to find the most updated and amazing toys to write Santa for. I remember then we would faithfully fold in every page of the catalog, making a Christmas tree, spray painting it gold and glue small ornaments on it. Thanks for the memories.
I remember when iconic wasn't the most overused word in scripts
A-MEN!
Hahaha! 😂
Oh wow , I still have a California King waterbed , soft sided , one of a kind , I love my bed n I've had it sense 1993 . Still in great condition.. Gotta love them good old day's, peace to all !!! 😊🎉😂
I've got a hard sided watered since 1990. It's in my guest room.
My girlfriend had one in 1988. It shocked me if I put my feet on the floor. I had to jump on and off.
Wow , sounds like you had a shocking experience lol 😆
My sister-in-law had a water bed. When she was changing her baby's (cloth!) diaper she stuck the pin into the mattress. Ooops!
In 1987 I bought a twin water bed n a queen water bed n then my 2 year old n my friends 3 year old daughter was jumping on it n popped it , then one night my sister got all waisted while out with my friend , so she dragged her to my place n my sister made it to my 2 year Olds bedroom with the twin waterbed n she crawled in it n passed out , the next day she woke up n found herself drenched in water from that bed . Boy did she get a big surprise, didn't she ? Lmao That was so freaking funny 😁 😆
One of the most unusual things that I ever saw happened to me in a phone booth when I was in my early 20's. I just got done smoking a cigarette, and I was getting ready to make a phone call. I dropped the butt and it landed straight up. I couldn't have done that again in a thousand tries. Around that time I used to work at a hospital, every wing of the hospital had a small lounge, and you could smoke there if you wanted.
The good old days?
You know, High Schools had Smoking trees or Bathrooms for the students could smoke in, and the teacher’s lounge always had smoke billowing out. No seat belts in cars.
You were in some kind of a cosmic vortex. 😉
@zeldapeax8311 No, I wasn't I was in a phone booth.😆
@@genek8630 🤣
Great stroll down Memory Lane!❤❤❤ Thanks!!
Exquisite memories!!!
which one was moving the most??
@@VintageTVShows Pretty much all of it, as I rapidly approach the age of 75!
@@lutherlutes7568
74 for me. Dancing in Platform shoes, bell bottoms. Smoking everywhere. So much more. How we've managed to accept and adjust to the incredible changes is really common considering what changes my grandparents lived through: horse and buggy transportation to cars, the radio and telephone, then TV, then planes, jets, rockets. They just accepted and moved on.
As someone who is a Baby Boomer what I noticed in this video is how many things it got wrong! If you are going to make a video about an era you need to do better research. Many of us were actually there and still remember.
I agree‼️ Why can I remember gas rationing, odd/even days in 1975⁉️ Like you said, we were there‼️💁
I remember tv dinners. I was bummed, though not surprised, that there were few to no vegetarian selections. lol Mind you, back in those days, the vegetarian selection wasn’t particularly better in restaurants. I am 71.
Water beds .. might we highlight how important a bed warmer became? (As for ‘intimate’ time? Just no.)
@@naturalPaths My parents couldn't afford t.v. dinners so it was a nice treat to have them at my friend's house.
Who ever researched this video did an excellent job. Thank u so much. There were some things I forgot. It's been fun
I’m a Boomer (first year) and I remember everything in this video. So many memories!
My husband and I were married in 1989 and like my Mom I saved S&H green stamps. We didn’t lick them, we used a wet sponge to dampen them. I even shopped on Tuesdays because our local grocer gave double green stamps on Tuesdays. One year for my husband’s birthday I saved my green stamps and gave him a pair of binoculars. Over 33 years later he still has them. One of the things I miss from the past.
I got a crib mattress for my first Baby in 1980 from Green Stamps😊
My Best Friend got his first guitar !!!!! He still has it. It was a lot of stamps.His mom was so patient.That's something not on here....Going to "the city" for groceries on saturday, jammin AM radio, might get dropped off at the arcade !!!! I'm 54
Green stamps is how I got a drum set. Took a long time to get enough stamps.
I still have a small packet of sewing needles that I bought at Ben Franklin's five and dime store when I was a child. It brings back the happy memories of finding little treasures there when I see it in my sewing box.
I had a Betsy Wetsy babydoll. You could give her a baby bottle and the water would come out between her legs. I fed mine with milk in her bottle once and the doll got so stinky that I had to throw her out.
Back in the 60s, my dad patented the most commonly used waterbed frame ever, then sold the patent to the guy who bought his thriving waterbed store. The guy paid him $2,000.00 for the patent, then proceeded to make millions off it.
The guy died a millionaire, and my dad died in my nephew's old trailer that he hadn't been using since he got married. Once Daddy figured a problem out he lost interest in it, he was only in it for the challenge.
I'm sure you're dad was a great guy.
@@raymondfryar1533 He was. The waterbed store was only ONE of the businesses he started then sold once they finely took off. He also owned the first pizzeria in our area, and an art supply store/art gallery, both of which he also sold once they started thriving.
He also learned and became an expert at DOZENS of different crafts:
Locksmithing
Glass blowing
Needlework of all kinds
Miniatures
Sculpting
Woodworking
Just to name a few.
Got a pay phone story for ya! In the late '70's and through most of the '80's I drove an ambulance for a pretty busy company in Orange County, CA. I guess they wanted to save the radios for emergency traffic, so when we sat at "stand by" on an *exact* pre-determined street corner, we had to park right next to the pay phone so that dispatch could call us with info about more routine calls or if they needed to talk to us for any reason. Of course, it became a problem if someone else had come by to use the phone - you know, if they "dropped a dime" - THEN the phone company got wise and fixed the phones so they could no longer receive incoming calls!! Then we had to rely on our pagers (!) to know to find a phone and call in. Remember when pagers first came out, they didn't give ANY information, they just beeped? The only way you knew who to call was by knowing who issued you the pager. Especially working in the medical field, people had to wear several pagers at a time. I remember working on a trauma situation in the ER on more than one occasion - a pager would go off and half the people in the room would reach around and grab their ass in case it had been *their* pager that went off. 😂🤣🤣🤣😂
That jello still makes me gag!
My mom collected S and H green stamps. And I remember plaid stamps from the A and P
A & P. - Who Cares. !
@@honeymoncel222 we didn’t say anyone cared 😂
I made good money in the 70s by turning people's straight leg and bootcut jeans into bell-bottoms. I would cut the outside seam open up to the knee, then sew a ¼ circle of a brightly printed "mod" fabric into the seam.
I did it to my jeans in highschool because my grandma refused to buy me bell-bottoms, she said they were too expensive. And once people noticed them, EVERYONE wanted them.
I ALSO sold "pregnant" pet rocks. Each box contained a pet rock, and somewhere between 2 and 10 pebbles.😉
Wow! 😮
Wow pregnant pet rocks??? 😄
@@lonerose99 Yup. They came in a box with a label on top that said "Caution, pregnant rock, handle with care, due any day now."
I eas wearing my platform sandals one spring day and fell off the edge of an old stone sidewalk , spred out my right hand for a catch and ended up with a spiral crack , a cast for 6weeks, that still hurts today, 50 years later.
I remember making collect calls on pay phones ☠️👍
🤭, shhhh 👍
I have a Green Stamp lamp from 1965, it features a textured glass globe above the base.
I loved all my mood rings!!!
I still have my lava light I got for graduating high school in 1972.
Gosh can you believe that was 52 yrs ago?
I was also the class of 72!
My class had roughly 400 kids, sadly about a forth of them are no longer here. 😔
@lonerose99 My class had 400+. I don't know how many are still around. I was in band and that's mainly who I keep in touch with.
This is very funny, very true and the humor is very tasteful.Thank you
I bought all the bed and bath items needed for my college dorm room with green stamps in ‘75
SNL was the highlight of my weekend, and was actually funny!
Stay home must see tv!
For a time the nightlife suffered on certain nights, because people stayed home to watch television!
I used to love phone booths.
wow...
what made you love them the most?
The handsets reeked of stale cigarette smoke which was gaggy.
I just loved that movie National Lampoon Vacation, it was one of the best movies of all time n they filmed part of the movie here in my town of Durango colorado, up north of town 😊😂🎉😊 good times .. 😊
And before Durango, they visited the farm east of Pueblo and gained a pair of white patent leather dress shoes and Aunt Edna.
I used to work for a charity that provided services for seniors. One of the women on the Board of Directors was a smoker who started smoking in her early teens, and smoked to the end of her life. She died two weeks after her 100th Birthday. I never smoked (l had TB at 13), but l liked hanging out with co-workers when they went for their smoke break. I did that because the smokers were a lot more fun.
Back in those days life was simpler you didn't have to deal with half the BS you have to deal with the day from this generation families used to eat at the table Saturday morning cartoons go outside and play instead of put in your face in front of a laptop we had real friends back then not names on a computer This world today really sucks
It's too much of a virtual world.
Turn it all off and no one knows what to do with themselves.
Such good memories.
which one was the most endearing?
It wasn't JUST avocado green. That WAS one of the three main colors from the period, but all THREE were EQUALLY popular. The other two were harvest gold, and Autumn leaf orange. My grandma's kitchen was harvest gold, she didn't LIKE the green or orange, she said they were too dark, and would make the kitchen look like a dungeon.
I don't remember the orange. We had harvest gold. I bought a house that had a green range that I used until it shorted out. There was a chocolate brown color that was popular. It was quite dark. By then people had moved from light birch cabinets to dark stained cabinets. I look at the gray cabinets being sold today and shake my head. They're so ugly.
@@BlankBrain Yeah, I remembered the brown AFTER I hit send. Unfortunately my tablet has a glitch that won't allow me to edit sometimes, and this was one of those times. 🤷 The Brady Bunch kitchen had the orange.
Oh you brought back some ugly memories!
In the UK, during Victorian times, big cities like London and Birmingham had up to seven postal deliveries daily, including Sundays.
Wow! 😮
Let's not forget white wall tires! I worked in the auto trim industry in NYC and did lots of pinstripes on cars, we don't see those anymore. Also, remember vinyl tops? Dang, repaired lots of those back in the day! As well as repairing the cracks in dashboards. We don't have those problems today.
I was a Southwestern Bell long distance operator.
Wow!
What was the best part of your job?
I remember getting a male long distance operator in about 1968 and was stunned.
My grampa lived in a house he ordered from from Sears and put together with his dad
I was gonna mention that some old brick houses still in use today were ordered from plans/materials sold by Sears. They're nice old brick houses with semi wrap around, covered porches. Apparently very well made.
I had one of those in Los Angeles for years...very attractive wooden bungalow assembled on site in 1933.
Thank God the idea of that jelly salad thing never made it across the Atlantic!
I got a retroactive laugh about a year ago when I saw an episode of "The Time Tunnel" (which ran in 1966-67); the two main characters asked a woman dressed in 1966 chic clothing what year it was. Her answer was, "1978." By 1978, the Disco craze and fashions were in full swing. Any woman who would walking around dressed like a go-go girl in 1978 would get more than a few weird stares 😂‼️
Thanks for sharing!
Ben Franklin... when we were kids we blew off an M-80. My friend's mom was freaking out like wtf was that? We told her we got it at the Ben Franklin... ya. Good times for sure.
I never had an M-80. But my uncle was in construction and had blasting caps. That was exciting. I remember my grandfather telling about getting in trouble for lighting quarter-sticks of dynamite on the railroad track (on top, not under) in town for Halloween. The sheriff just told them to take it out of town. That would have been around 1906.
@@BlankBrain my dad used to get those quarter sticks. That thing blew a hole in the ground like a crater lol. He was actually going to do it in the street and my neighbour was like no, you'll take people's windows out. I honestly don't know how we all didn't wind up dead or in jail... but that can be said for most people of my generation.
Kind sounding voice doing the memory lane.
Mom was very proud of her red fondue pot. She would melt cheese and serve it with bread at her parties. But only for her parties. When that stopped the fondue pot was put away never to be used again. My brother gave it for Christmas.
I remember dingo boots, desert boots which were shoes with heels and toes switched.,bikes with spider handlebars banna seats and a sissy bar on back of seat,crowding in front of the t v to watch the Beatles on Ed Sullivan show. Smoked Camel and Luckys witch came without filters. Yeah boy those were the days.
I miss the phone book. Enjoyed looking through it.
Me too!
There are a lot of non boomer era images in this video for a video titled Top 50 things only boomers will remember.
What a trip down memory lane! But let’s not forget about sexism, even today, less opportunities for women. I remember the episode where Lucy had to ask Desi for permission to change her hair style. He did not give it. My mother and her cronies used to talk about whether or not their husbands “let them work” outside the home. I got the best sleep of my life on my water bed; it was the sex that caused seasickness. I wish I still had my Gumbie doll.
Then our generation all became 2-income households and succeeded in driving prices up because we all bought A LOT of things instead of investing the extra income
My Dad taught me " the twist ".......band stand....those were the days...
Indeed
We have a roller rink with video games and stuff just like in the 70's. We did have a drive in theatre until it closed at the end of last year. And waterbeds were a lot more common in the 70's and 80's than they make it seem, and you can still get them from most bedding stores today. Me and my parents and a lot of friends all had waterbeds in the 80's, and me and my wife had one for a while about 15 years ago.
I think the only place you couldn't smoke was the courtroom, but it was fine to smoke in your hospital bed.
That's how life is...... isn't it??
@@VintageTVShows To this day I have not had to spend a night in a hospital when I could not smoke in my room. Must have been the early/mid 70s. Dying from cigarette smoking cancer now though. But still not in the hospital overnight!
I've experienced quite a few of these. I still watch movies at the drive-in theater
Carolyoung, me too, since 1982. California King. Really dark brown heavy wood furniture. I just replaced the water mattress with a good mattress and box springs.
I LOVED my waterbed ❤
Blue Chip Stamps in California.
We GenXer's knew of these too.
That's what I said too. There's a lot of overlap between young boomers & older gen xers. Basically if you were born in the early 60s & a tween/teen in the 70s you will have a similar point of reference. Boomer is a pretty wide time range 47 -62 or 65 depending on your source. So boomers who were teens in the 60s will remember Beatlemania. I remember Romper Room & Captain Kangaroo lol. I was in kindergarden in 65.
Yes you did! The baby brother and sister of the late boomer babies.
I was 5 when the Beatles first came. I saw them on Ed Sullivan. Paul was my favorite. My brother had every early album. Then he switched to Cat Stevens when he came in. I’ll never understand the screaming when the Beatles did their thing from the audience girls. Poor John and the later passing of George.
Yeah, I remember tv dinners...ugh! And as for 'jello', or jelly, as we know it in the UK, we only ever used it for dessert, as far as I know. And no, we didn't have colour tv in the sixties: black and white tv took off in the early fifties, when anyone who could afford it bought a tv for the 1953 Coronation, but it was a good 15 years before the first colour tvs arrived. And don't remind me about platform shoes! Groan!
Color programming was almost zero in 60s, except for Disney 1/2 hour show and maybe a couple more. Color TVs were so expensive even in 70s, but by end of 70s most shows were in color, if not all.
I miss the penny candy days
Typewriters were so much fun and a great prelude to computer keyboards. They drawback was the ribbons were so messy. I miss Woolworth's, Kress and Sears.
Nothing like a TV dinner! Ours were in metal trays so you got that metallic aftertaste. Thank goodness the TV dinners I get now are in plastic.
I'm an X & remember ALMOST all. Dime store was a treat if I behaved at Lucille's Market YES market NOT supermarket or grocery store. We DID get a grocery when I was still young though. The ONLY edible Swanson Hungry Man was the Thanksgiving one. My Sis had a mood ring. I had a lava lamp & STILL love baseball cards. I CURRENTLY sleep on a water bed frame that was converted to matress & springs like 35 years ago after the water part sprung a leak. The frame is huge SOLID & HIGH ! My parents did the fondue thing & we DID have gold shag in the living room. My 1st car had an 8-track & until I could afford a cassette I bought several cheaper bootleg 8 tracks. Now THEY regularly split a song between 2 tracks often with a loud vibration sound through the old Jensons as it changed. My Grandmother's house had one red bathroom & one avocado green. I didn't know anyone stupid enough to buy a a pet rock but flairs & stacks were steppin out wear for sure & NO MULLETS..long & straight with a middle part or bangs or a fro....1970 olds vista cruiser followed by a 76 Grand Torino wagon. Joined Columbia and RCA clubs like 10X each ; ordered sea monkees many sew on patches & black light posters. One of my neighbors had The Redneck Dream a Silver Anniversary Vette. Two toned; silver & charcoal with factory CB & 8-track. For a SHORT time another neighbor had a CB base but it interfered SO much with TV & radio, they were forced by EVERYONE else to give it up. We LIVED for the skating rink..10AM to 10 or 11 for $1.50 & EVERYBODY was there. We saved Green Stamps from Winn Dixie & Top Value yellow from Community Cash. Green had better catalog items but yellow had a higher cash YES CASH redemption value..if I remember it was like $1.50 or $1.75 ea. which was less than catalog value but CASH IS KING !! Woolworth's had cheaper '45s than the Mercury News news stand & KILLER club sandwiches & ice cream floats & sundaes but WAS NO dime store. We called Sears catalog The Wish Book...at least till we were old enough to appreciate Fredericks of Hollywood. Milkmen & Butter & Egg Men were before my time...the first actual boomer thing....I mean we had typewriter classes in HS & were forced to do macrame & cross stitch in Home Ec...again I'm not a boomer & yes EVERYBODY smoked. I quit in 2011...LSMFT Baby... actually I smoked Kools or Newports Payphones & later beepers & payphones & later alpha numerics with a PAID service & YES payphones ALL predated cells. I had a 5 speed Orange Crush Schwinn with said banana seat. We grew up on drive ins... I'll NEVER forget my first WALK IN movie Godzilla vs The Smogmonster....very 70s that one. I CAN remember schools being NEARLY segregated but the Beatles on Ed Sullivan & mixed raced couples being illegal is 2 more Boomeresque things..so that's 3- my Sis had a crapload of Barbies & I had GI Joes. My Mom was hugely into Elvis. She saw him often & so wanted me to see one that we stood in line ALL DAY LONG in Asheville only to have them sell out when we were only like 25-30 spots from the window. THEN that wood paneled Gran Torino wagon had a parking ticket on it when we got back...She was so happy to get us a couple of scalped tickets i. a couple weeks but Elvis died shortly before that Asheville show. I DON'T remember 2X a day mail but I DO remember a morning & evening paper. I even sold Grit Papers but the promise of riches from that was about as big a LIE as my imagined Sea Monkey kingdom. What Jr High boy didn't enjoy 55378008 upside down or the answer 5537800805 on his Texas Instruments calculator? The Greensboro deal was before my time. I grew up with black & white friends teammates & a couple of dates. I grew up in the South with NEVER an instance of racial trouble at school or any hate crime BUT the worst thing ever was when they whoever THEY are condemned & destroyed several STREETS of houses in a predominately black community on the south side of town replacing them with projects. Many moved out of the area so THEY imported others to flesh out the other apartments...the people the neighborhood & the town ALL went downhill. I was ALWAYS nearby 1/2 day during school & all day during the summer as my Step Dad owned a gas station backing right up against the destroyed houses & across the street from those first projects. Many of my friends moved far away & many were forced to live where they NEVER wanted to with new neighbors. Crime & dope followed. I well remember the shortages & rations & hanging up the nozzles when we ran out of gad which was often. I also vividly remember the reaction to our prices increasing from 33 cents to 36 cents to 49 cents per gallon in a little over a month during those times AND cigarettes prices increasing from 25 cents to 3 for a dollar. The 8 cents wasn't so big but since it was a machine you HAD to buy 3 packs. Again I'm on the older side of Gen X & I know this is long & I'm not trying to nit pick but this video all seems a bit anachronistic at least from my perspective...also Planet of the Apes movies AND TV as well as Sat morning cartoons & Kroft shows...BUGALOOS !! as well as Soul Train Don Kirschner Sat Night Special Benny Hill & going to Rock Concerts was HUGE! My 1st ever on my own was KISS' Bicentennial show. Anyone with similar GEN X memories that don't want to cuss me for the long post?
My favourite things about this video are the pea green kitchens, bell bottoms and platform shoes. How can you tell that I was born in the 70s.
They didn't mention harvest gold. I had a green range until something shorted inside and could have burned the house down in 2004.
@@BlankBrain
And one more, orange, which was less common. The gold and green were very common...with matching flowery wall paper. It was everywhere back then, and looked nice. But seeing it now in my old photos, it looks awful!😂
@@denisefarmer366 And the carpet companies were putting out shag wall-to-wall with ALL those 1970 colors.
We still have a drive-in 😊
I have one and I think that it's groovy. I dig a lot of what is in this video.
Green stamps! Yes! It was the mid 60’s. Mom had books of them. We both filled her books with green stamps. You got tongue tired licking them.
I was at Shea Stadium!
For a Beatles concert?
@@lonerose99 Yes.
I did see a baseball game once as well. ; D
I actually live 2-3 miles away from the 1st Woolworth store. I also remember Neisenmers( sp) which was a runner up, cause they also had a food shop? counter that you could buy a meal or a soda/shake etc. but that was back in '78. Neither are here now 😢 But yea, the very 1st Woolworths was in Utica Ny on Genesee St
Nostalgic?
Hey kids! Ask your grandparents about the “key parties” in the ‘70s! 😂
I loved the Swanson TV dinners in their aluminum treys, especiall the turkey. My mother would wash out the treys and keep them. I don’t know that she ever did anything with them, but they were kept. Swanson TV dinners date back to 1958. Many of the dates are wrong, but still a fun video. Oh, Gold Bond stamps were also popular.
You remember the taste too?
@@VintageTVShows Yes and that is why I do not eat Swanson Hungry Man dinners. The quality of the meat was much better and I loved the mashed potatoes!
Oh yeah the Twist! I did that as a little kid.
We would use the seers catalog to mark what we wanted for Christmas the day after Christmas so that my parents would have enough time to earn the money to order them.
And of course, the old saying is milkman must be your dad.
The commentary is hilarious 😂
I sure miss my water bed....the most comfy thing I ever slept in!!!
Thanks for sharing 😊
Oh my teal blue sting ray bike...add a white banana seat...with big flower stickers and a tall sissy bar...a bike I loved for a very lonnnnnnnnnnmnnggggg time...
Sounds good
You didn't mention about Saturday morning cartoons. That was something all kids were looking forward to since the fall of 1960 when it first started. Can't believe this whole Saturday morning cartoon crazes ended in 2014 (ten years ago). With these smart phones, tablets, and laptops kids can now watch cartoons anytime they want anywhere they want without having to wait a week later to see cartoons. The same thing with these syndicated cartoons on a Monday through Friday that ended in 2006. Now a days these cartoons have to be educational to teach these kids stuff instead of just being entertaining. It's No wonder that the cartoons now on a M-F are on these PBS stations.
It’s mentioned in another videos of ours!
Stay tuned
I met the man who made the MOOD RING. What he wanted to make was a Bath Mat It would change colors with the temperature of the BATH WATER ❗️. I thought that was a great idea for a baby and kids

Late 80s I remember My best friend moved to Puerto Rico. She couldn't afford a phone at the time. So I would call her at a designated time on the payphone at the corner of her street. It's crazy to think of this in the time of the cell phone.
I went to high school with Chris Dahl, whose father came up with the pet rock. Very cool.
Sounds great
Wow you did?😮. What made him think of such a thing? And that it would take off?

Jimmy was our milkman. I was about five or six so that was ‘64 and ‘65. He let me ride with him to the corner and to keep his milk cold he had a huge block of ice I liked to run my hand on. We had a milk shoot. My house has a milk shoot but covered with siding on the outside. But it remains cold in the shoot so I keep a couple of my art pieces in it.
It was possible to have a refrigerator AND have milk delivery. The commentary makes that seem impossible. So many of the products are still available today as well, so the title is incorrect. They were not never to be seen again.
