In the fall, people used to burn leaves in those galvanized trash cans. I loved that smell, signaling the autumn season and the cool nights. Something rich, natural and comforting about it 🍂🍁🍁 I have always missed that part of the autumn ritual, since many towns instituted ordinances making it illegal to burn leaves. "How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?" My 2 brothers loved Hawaiian punch and that red stain "mustache" it left always made us laugh! We had free standing milk machines in our town. When stores were closed, you could get a carton of milk from the vending machine. We also went around collecting tossed away glass soda bottles that gave a nickel or so for each bottle upon return to a grocery store. I wouldn't call my brother's and my childhood idyllic, but I do recall it feeling safe and secure, with a sense of belonging. We knew all our neighbors and they knew us. These videos are fun to watch! Thank you.
Did you miss anything? Are you kidding me? You can make one of these videos last 24 hours straight with the stuff you missed great video thank you did bring back a lot of memories good and bad.
That is what I always think--of course, there're things you missed! Lol. He wants conversation in the comments, but he should just say that. We love the content and the memories.
Guess I'm old!!! But soo thankful to be born when I did, beautiful time to grow up, no danger hanging over us, we were truly free to explore, thank you for sharing these memories 💙
Yup. I'm old. Born 1971 and remember riding my bike all over the place without worries. Getting up in the morning and coming home after day from a day of fishing at Oxbow. Always told my parents where I was going, but never had to worry about the violence seen today.
Now I feel old🤣I miss those days as a child😫Thank you Recollection Road for keeping our memories alive🙏🏻Life in The United States of America was great then👍🏻ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻
I didn't start feeling old until right after I turned 60(last December). I'm not talking about the aches and pains, I'm talking about the knowledge that most of your life is in the past.
I haven't seen or even thought of BEANBAG ashtrays for 50 years! While my parents didn't smoke, most of their friends did. Ironically, many were doctors and nurses. They would get together for Friday night bridge games. Before the cards were dealt, I was allowed to make my own snack plate from the treats they had. Then it was off to the basement to watch TV and give the grown-ups their privacy. Great memories!
I still have and use a gold, square glass carnival ashtray from the 70s. One could flip nickels and win ashtrays or beer goblets if your nickle landed in one. Still have a Falstaff goblet as well. Good times.
My parents and their friends had a regular Saturday night bridge game. Us kids would play in the house away from where they were playing but I remember hearing the music they would play, especially Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
The best thing in the 1970s? Kids were free to be out and about, without their parents getting arrested for "child neglect". You had to be home for lunch, dinner and sunset. That was it.
@@TabithaReminiec3399Back then our neighbors were there if we needed them. If we got hurt or harassed by a bully, we could go to a neighbors house, even ones we were barely acquainted with, for help and/or to call home. But our neighbors could also reprimand us and report any bad bahavior back to very grateful parents. In most cases today... Heaven help you if you dare say anything to a parent about a childs poor behavior, let alone say anything to the child directly. Parents will react as though you're attacking their child.
My mom and dad have passed away and I love watching recollection road Because it makes me think of tim s and things that we used to use as kids in Canada I love in Florida now and I miss growing up as a kid And of course now my parents are dead o really feel it and miss them.❤🙏✝️⚰️✝️🌄💋
I was born in Canada too and have lived in Florida since 1977. My dad passed away almost three years ago and I'm afraid mom is leaving us soon. What I miss the most is Christmas as a child with mom and dad. Dad made it special with the tree and decorations everywhere. Mom made it special by cooking/baking up a storm in the kitchen. I'll never forget the year I got a wooden toboggan for Christmas 😊 it got used a lot!
Man, do I ever remember Brach's pic-A-Mix in the grocery stores. my parents would let me pick out a bag of the mixed candies . it was like Halloween year round, sans the costume of course. . . 😀
I grew up in the 60s and 70s an I still oin strong at 63 years young anyway I remember everything on this video for all you baby boomers out there we don't get old we get better
My grandmother LOVED Rolos. Unfortunately for her, so do I!! She always had ice cream toppings like pineapple, strawberries and butterscotch, hot fudge. I remember when Hershey sauce came in a tin can I miss old days!!!
My grandparents always brought candy/gum out for us on Sunday afternoons. I remember peppermints, caramels, tootsie rolls, and all flavors of Wrigley gum: peppermint, spearmint, bubblegum, and juicy fruit. THOSE WERE WONDERFUL DAYS!
@docadams7099 my grandpa always had Oreos and Breyers Neopolin ice cream. Wed play scrabble, yahtzee and boggle and watch the Golden Girls, Fraggle Rock and Muppets amongst others He's missed- a truly wonderful person!
I remember when gas was twenty five cents a gallon, sodas were ten cents each and candy bars were a nickel. Yes I'm old but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I was born in 69' and grew up in SoCal. My first memories of taking notice of gas prices was during the "oil crisis". I was the youngest and hadn't started kindergarten yet so, had to sit in line with my mom 2 to 3 times a wk. while my siblings were at school... I hated it. The lowest I recall was in the 50 cent range.
@@glennso47 _I remember being the cook at the Last Supper._ Sorry, you're thinking of the 18-wheeler driving, raised by Puerto Ricans, first member of the black church, menace of Corn Pop, I think.
I didn’t have a mother daughter dress, but back in 1976 when I was born, my grandmother made me a matching dress and bonnet to her outfit! It was part of a bicentennial celebration and all the women and girls in our family photo had on long dresses and matching bonnets.
I remember being a gas station attendant as living in New Jersey in the 1970s you are not allowed, and to this day pump your own gas. I pulled down many license plates only to find that they did not retract very well because the spring would rot. Another problem was that the gas fill was usually level so if you didn’t have your gas cap on tied enough, as the vehicle left the lot, you could see gas spilling out from underneath the bumper. By the way, the cheapest gas that I remember growing up was seeing regular for about $.32 a gallon. This was back prior to the 1973 oil embargo.
Both of my grandmas wore the aprons that went from neck to bottom of their dress. I have a great aunt and uncle whose house was the best! They had no children but their nieces and nephews loved their house! There was a drawer in their kitchen that was full of bags of candy. Not the crappy stuff but chocolate candy bars, suckers and so many other types. At Easter my aunt and uncle would give us gifts like pjs’s or other clothes. My aunt and uncle owned a bakery right next door to wonderful candy store. They would bring us chocolate eggs and other candy from there. My sisters and I were together last year along with my daughter. We were talking about my aunt and uncle. All of us knew where that candy drawer was at my aunt and uncle’s house!
Of course, you missed a bunch...according to me. But on the other hand, you showed me a few things I haven't thought of in 40 yrs! Bless you, kind sir!!!
I have one, too ... I still use it for gardening ... I carry it up and drop all my leaves and branches and twigs, etc. then of course, dump it into the big dumpster.
I remember tv shows from the 1950s. The Millionaire. The Micky Mouse Club. Art Linkletters House Party. Pinky Lee. Truth or Consequences. Howdy Doody. And more.
I had a 1988 Cadillac that had the gas filler behind the license plate. I loved it because you could pull up to either side of a gas island. I still use aprons to protect my clothes when I cook/do dishes. Fun video, thank you!
I'm 78 (born in 1946) and still trucking. I've severed in 2 wars, spent 20 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and 30 as a Calif. police officer but I'm "upright and dressed"...so I can't complain. I sure wouldn't trade places with kids today.
I remember getting a Finger print dusting kit. I think around '74, I drove everyone nuts, taking their tea glass and dusting away for prints! Never solved one case.
Loved the wrapped strawberry ones with the soft center. They were always at Grandma's house. The metal garbage cans.... I still see my parents dragging them down the driveway to the curb. Mom always had my sister and me wearing matching outfits. Loved Battle of the Network Stars!! I loved the Tidy Bowl Man and Mr. Whipple!! Thank you for the great memories. 😊
In my school games of marbles were played during recess and when the Clacker toys eventually got banned, many kids cut the cords off so they would become "resins"! Several years before the strawberry filled candies took over I actually found a pineapple candy like that in a mixed assortment and thought the same concept in a little pineapple was pretty clever!
Thank you for bringing back beautiful memories brought tears to my eye's but tears of happiness Reminiscing back to childhood how everything was so different especially people. 🙏
Yes sir! I remember ALL OF THIS, and especially my grandmother’s candy. She always had candy tucked away all over her house and I do remember those candies you put in the video. And there is Bruce Jenner before he decided to be a woman.! How things have changed and unfortunately for the worse. I loved the Hawaiian punch drink. My mom got those cans all the time. That tidy bowl man freaked me out when I was a kid. ONG! I forgot about the flip down gas tank access…. I also remember almost all the gas stations had gas taste attendance and you didn’t even have to get out of your car to pump it. They would even check your oil and clean your windshield.
That big circle for the marbles - my sister and I would draw one with our fingers in my grandma's plush living room rug, fill it with marbles and then shoot into it to get as many as we could out. We'd play so long our right thumbs had calloused cuticles! Remember the little ones we called "peewee", but what were the large ones called? Also, on Sunday mornings you could spread the funny papers out on the floor and follow along as they were read on the radio.
Leaded high-test was the only thing my '72 Chrysler New Yorker would run on - if I tried anything less than that, it would knock and stall at traffic lights!
@@lovly2cu725 You're either older than 69 or come from a part of the country where gas was cheaper. I learned to drive on my mother's '65 Chrysler New Yorker. The car was a tank.
I’ve never seen an episode of MASH. I grew up in the ‘60s and have never had a hankering for any sitcoms. I have actually had dinner with Howard Cosell. Very personable guy.
you brought back so many wonderful memories, that I am waxing nostalgic. the high back wicker chair reminded me of the early 7-up commercials. with the enthusiastic Jamaican man saying "Seven-up!... never had it, never will ! " and then that hearty laugh 😀
Battle of the Network Stars, when Bruce Jenner was still a man !! I once babysat his kids. Hawaiian Punch, went very well with Oreos. A staple of every school day party we had in class on special occasions, and at home. I had one of those "The Farmer Says" wheels when I was little, there were a few along those lines. I once looked for bags of marbles, do you know how EXPENSIVE they are today, that's if you can find them, usually on Ebay. Yup we had the ubiquitous candy bowl, and we used to buy those big tins of Candy for the Holidays. I remember the MASH finale. I was in High School in 1983, my Grade 11 year.
Your teacher reading chapter books out loud to the class. Reading groups in elementary school, and the worksheets you completed after the daily reading assignment. Spelling work books. Albacore shell ashtrays. Educational films made by Disney under its Buena Vista division. Cardboard phonograph records cut from the back of kids' cereal boxes. Balsa wood toy airplanes.
I remember my dad buying me a skateboard when a first came out. Those very first ones weren't that easy to ride, Watch out for pebbles on the sidewalk.
Recall Battle of Network Stars well. Some channel reran it a few years ago. I hadnt heard the can openers called a "church key" in years. But I recall all of this, too many to note individually. So yes, im old.😊
I think my dad was thee only person I ever heard call a can opener a church key and I got very sad when I heard that, I really miss him 😢 but yeah I remember all mentioned, guess I'm old too
We had hard candy all the time because my mom always had it around as did my grandma. What’s strange is I rarely have any candy in my home. It just doesn’t appeal to me like it used to.
In the Holly Bible, in Daniel ( 7:9 ) God is seen as the Ancient of days; one of his favorite titles, so aging for us the humans is the privilege of living in the time and history of this world. Thank you for reminder, not only those things, decade’s; but also us that we lived those days and we still with you. By the way I was born in 1968, and as a kid “ Hawaiian Punch “! my favorite jutty fruity, Yummy ! God bless you and thank you for the good memories.
I really enjoy your video's. It brings back a more simpler time in life. I remember a lot of those things in this video. Hawaiian punch is one of them. I remember those two little guys in the commercials. It's like a breath of fresh air when i see your video's. So much has changed sense then, some for good and others not so much. Thank you for taking the time to bring about some old memories that I had long forgot until you woke them up. Have a great weekend 😀. Peace 🙏
I never heard of the beanbag ashtrays, but then again my parents never smoked. My mom never let us have Hawaiian Punch. But when Juicy Juice came out, she bought that for us, and it was in the same big tin cans. We've never pumped our own gas here in New Jersey, at least not in my lifetime. But I know that a lot of cars had the gas filler behind the license plate.

So,so blessed to grow up in the age before electronics and digitals. A world gone away, but it didnt take my memories❤
I totally agree with you, I was born in 1961 and it was a fun time for kids to grow up in.
You are right, we talked to other people, instead of just communicating by portable phones texting or calling.
The thing about growing up in the 1970's was, you got to grow up in your own little world, instead of the whole world at one time.
That statement packs a lot more meaning than most will ever know.
Agreed 💯%
There are very few comments that I find to be memorable but this is a comment I won’t soon forget.
Yes so true, I miss those days now more than ever before.
Fantastic words
Life was awesome and simple back then. Boy I miss those days.

I remember the marbles that people say I have lost out of my head. 😊
LOL Good one!
I still have my marbles I had as a kid!
I remember keeping my marbles in one of my parents old "Crown Royal" purple bags.
I kept my jacks in a bandaid box. I still have my grandfather's binoculars in the purple Crown Royal bag.
I used a coffee can. 😊
I had them in an old (metal) lunchbox that mom painted a horrid green color.
Crown Royal bags were the best! Also the stars on Five Stars!
YES!!!

Wicker furniture was cool because it was pretty to look at and light enough to pick up and move by yourself, but it was also very uncomfortable.

I had a 1988 Cadillac that had the gas filler behind the license plate. I loved it because you could pull up to either side of a gas island. I still use aprons to protect my clothes when I cook/do dishes. Fun video, thank you!
I adored the Pippi Longstocking books!
I'm 78 (born in 1946) and still trucking. I've severed in 2 wars, spent 20 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and 30 as a Calif. police officer but I'm "upright and dressed"...so I can't complain. I sure wouldn't trade places with kids today.
Amen brother. Thank you for serving. Both in the corp and behind the badge. Semper Fi!
M*A*S*H is being played on METV 6 nights a week, I own the collection & still watch it on TV via Antennae!
MeTV has a number of great shoes, people, not just MASH. Check it out if you can get it.
I remember getting a Finger print dusting kit. I think around '74, I drove everyone nuts, taking their tea glass and dusting away for prints! Never solved one case.
BINGO on everything. Fun to watch. Thank you ❤
Loved the wrapped strawberry ones with the soft center. They were always at Grandma's house. The metal garbage cans.... I still see my parents dragging them down the driveway to the curb. Mom always had my sister and me wearing matching outfits. Loved Battle of the Network Stars!! I loved the Tidy Bowl Man and Mr. Whipple!! Thank you for the great memories. 😊
Remember Mr. clean?
At my grandmas house she always had lemon drops in her candy bowl loved them and still do.
In my school games of marbles were played during recess and when the Clacker toys eventually got banned, many kids cut the cords off so they would become "resins"! Several years before the strawberry filled candies took over I actually found a pineapple candy like that in a mixed assortment and thought the same concept in a little pineapple was pretty clever!
Yup we played marbles at recess. Had a few “steelies” as well that were made out of metal. It would hurt to try and flick those!
Thank you for bringing back beautiful memories brought tears to my eye's but tears of happiness Reminiscing back to childhood how everything was so different especially people. 🙏
Yes sir! I remember ALL OF THIS, and especially my grandmother’s candy. She always had candy tucked away all over her house and I do remember those candies you put in the video. And there is Bruce Jenner before he decided to be a woman.! How things have changed and unfortunately for the worse. I loved the Hawaiian punch drink. My mom got those cans all the time. That tidy bowl man freaked me out when I was a kid. ONG! I forgot about the flip down gas tank access…. I also remember almost all the gas stations had gas taste attendance and you didn’t even have to get out of your car to pump it. They would even check your oil and clean your windshield.
My grandma even had a candy dish in the bathroom!
That big circle for the marbles - my sister and I would draw one with our fingers in my grandma's plush living room rug, fill it with marbles and then shoot into it to get as many as we could out. We'd play so long our right thumbs had calloused cuticles! Remember the little ones we called "peewee", but what were the large ones called? Also, on Sunday mornings you could spread the funny papers out on the floor and follow along as they were read on the radio.
I remembered leaded gas.
Leaded high-test was the only thing my '72 Chrysler New Yorker would run on - if I tried anything less than that, it would knock and stall at traffic lights!
It smelt better
I remember 35 cent a gallon gasoline.
I remember 25 cents
@@lovly2cu725 You're either older than 69 or come from a part of the country where gas was cheaper. I learned to drive on my mother's '65 Chrysler New Yorker. The car was a tank.
My first car, a 1972 Chevrolet Impala, had the flip down license plate.
Yep I am definitely old then ... I remember all of these :)
I’ve never seen an episode of MASH. I grew up in the ‘60s and have never had a hankering for any sitcoms. I have actually had dinner with Howard Cosell. Very personable guy.
That Ty-D-Bol Man was Larry Sprinkle. He's the weatherman on channel 36 in Charlotte NC now and has been for many years.
you brought back so many wonderful memories, that I am waxing nostalgic.
the high back wicker chair reminded me of the early 7-up commercials. with the enthusiastic Jamaican man saying "Seven-up!... never had it, never will ! " and then that hearty laugh 😀
I remember the books I read when I was young.
Battle of the Network Stars, when Bruce Jenner was still a man !! I once babysat his kids.
Hawaiian Punch, went very well with Oreos. A staple of every school day party we had in class on special occasions, and at home.
I had one of those "The Farmer Says" wheels when I was little, there were a few along those lines. I once looked for bags of marbles, do you know how EXPENSIVE they are today, that's if you can find them, usually on Ebay. Yup we had the ubiquitous candy bowl, and we used to buy those big tins of Candy for the Holidays.
I remember the MASH finale. I was in High School in 1983, my Grade 11 year.
He's still a man. God doesn't make mistakes.
Your teacher reading chapter books out loud to the class.
Reading groups in elementary school, and the worksheets you completed after the daily reading assignment.
Spelling work books.
Albacore shell ashtrays.
Educational films made by Disney under its Buena Vista division.
Cardboard phonograph records cut from the back of kids' cereal boxes.
Balsa wood toy airplanes.
80s kid here who remembers Hawaiian Punch being served at snack time at Sunday School and Vacation Bible School at church!
I still have my mother's apron.
I remember my dad buying me a skateboard when a first came out. Those very first ones weren't that easy to ride, Watch out for pebbles on the sidewalk.
I still have my Pippi Longstocking doll, never going to give that up. It was given to me from my favorite Aunt.
Recall Battle of Network Stars well. Some channel reran it a few years ago. I hadnt heard the can openers called a "church key" in years. But I recall all of this, too many to note individually. So yes, im old.😊
I think my dad was thee only person I ever heard call a can opener a church key and I got very sad when I heard that, I really miss him 😢 but yeah I remember all mentioned, guess I'm old too
Battle of the Network Stars is here on RUclips. I enjoy watching it.
We had hard candy all the time because my mom always had it around as did my grandma. What’s strange is I rarely have any candy in my home. It just doesn’t appeal to me like it used to.
I loved the pippi longstokings movies and mash
We always had a full candy dish in our house. I think it stemmed from WWII when our parents couldn't buy it.
We never had candy in our house. That's why Halloween was such a big deal.
Little did we know we were living the best life at the peak of society and culture before the painful descent into our modern dystopia.
In the Holly Bible, in Daniel ( 7:9 ) God is seen as the Ancient of days; one of his favorite titles, so aging for us the humans is the privilege of living in the time and history of this world. Thank you for reminder, not only those things, decade’s; but also us that we lived those days and we still with you. By the way I was born in 1968, and as a kid “ Hawaiian Punch “! my favorite jutty fruity, Yummy ! God bless you and thank you for the good memories.
I remember my skates had metal wheels and the tiniest pebble meant kissing the sidewalk or until your sidewalk turned into a dirt road.
My grandmother had coffee candy, butterscotch or Wrigleys chewing gum in her purse.
OK! it's official! I'm old! :-(
I really enjoy your video's. It brings back a more simpler time in life. I remember a lot of those things in this video. Hawaiian punch is one of them. I remember those two little guys in the commercials.
It's like a breath of fresh air when i see your video's. So much has changed sense then, some for good and others not so much. Thank you for taking the time to bring about some old memories that I had long forgot until you woke them up.
Have a great weekend 😀. Peace 🙏
Videos, genius.
My dad was employed by the city as a garbage collector back in the day when garbage cans were still in use.
Love all of these videos
Thanks.
Where I live we still have metal trash cans, in ground. I loved MASH 0:00 and have seen the reruns many times.
I never heard of the beanbag ashtrays, but then again my parents never smoked. My mom never let us have Hawaiian Punch. But when Juicy Juice came out, she bought that for us, and it was in the same big tin cans. We've never pumped our own gas here in New Jersey, at least not in my lifetime. But I know that a lot of cars had the gas filler behind the license plate.
I loved battle of network stars I wish they bring back with same format
Are you kidding. Today's stars would snub that stuff.
I was searching for wicker chairs yesterday
