my age 69 tells me I'm old, but my mind cant reconcile that, memories are a gift
65...my brain cells say 25 and my memories of the past are endless
Damn, I'm old... who remembers three black and white channels, party lines, talking to the operator to get someone on the phone, getting kicked out of school for smoking in the boy's room... Friday night cruising, A&W root beer floats on tap at the drive up, waitress' on roller skates, window trays .... Thanks for the recall, good times!
I remember all of those things 😂👍🏻
Me too
@@pjesf We old....lol.
@@OGRocker1 We sho is
@@OGRocker1 Is that “rocker” in your user name a reference to a rocking chair?
I was born in the 60's grew up in the 70's and 80's And it was so so so so much better than it is now. I just hate how it is now.
You and me both Darrell I am 62 and remember these things just like you do great times
I'm 57, and you could see it start to downhill in the mid-90s. I would love to go back and repeat those decades
@@lovesallanimals9948 You might be old,,,If YOU remember this, about young people, in that era, they were NEVER confusion, about what gender they were, NONE, at all. Every kid knew that they either had an innie, or an outie, that God gave them when they were born. There was NO mentally, confused young people, and they knew which bathrooms to use, when they were out, in public. This younger generation needs, to get back to normal, again, if they ever want to accomplish ANYTHING, in life.
I feel like same... that’s why I collect toys from that era.
I feel the same also, just turning 63, waves of nostalgia constantly flows through me, and I relive the past through these kind of videos.
But........do you remember........"NOW in Living Color"!!!
I'm THAT old.
Yep.
I remember hearing that, but having to take the guy's word for it.
With the colorful Peacock bird!
I remember signs outside of hotels and motels that said "Color TV's".
I also remember “ technical difficulties , please stand by” , or “ We are signing off until tomorrow, here is the national anthem “ 📺📺📺📺📺
not so much that this stuff makes me feel old...but that it makes me fell thankful and fortunate to have grown up in a time when things were so much simpler and so basic respect still valued and common. yes, there were conflicts and unrestful times as well but nothing like the chaos and loss of moral character like today! thanks for these videos to help us remember those days!
Amen well said.
I'm glad I grew up in a time when there was no internet, cell phones, Bluetooth, or even cable TV. I remember going to rock concerts back in the 70's and 80's and you simply enjoyed the show. You didn't worry about taking selfies or videos or telling all you friends you were at a concert. You simply went to the gig and rocked out!
Your comment makes me happy and sad at the same time( like this video ), as much as we might have complained about some stuff back in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, who knew that times would change for the worse, when we were thinking the future would be so great and life would be so much easier. You are right, I feel so blessed to have experienced those decades, sure, we get to enjoy all this tech today ( like RUclips and this iPad I am tapping this on😁) but we are a resilient kind of people because we remember our low tech but highly social past.
@@Lovejazz01I could not agree with you more. Much more difficult navigating this world.
Well said👍👍👍
I'm 59 and I remember all of these things especially from the 70's when
i was a kid and I really like seeing them
again here thanks for the memories.
🇺🇲👋👋🇺🇲
Yep, I'm 60 and totally agree.
Yep, same age and it was a blast, too!
I'm turning 59 at the end of September. I remember it all. I even remember when we went from ViewMaster's to Talking ViewMaster's! And don't EVEN get me started on Electronic Battleship!
I’m turning 57in January ,it was a groovy time
it doesn't make me feel "old" it makes me feel happy
TELEPHONE DIRECTORIES ! Whoever would have thought they would be gone ? It was like the SEAR'S CATALOG !
After the phone books were no longer delivered to my front door and no longer able to request them, I used to call a 1-800 number to request a company's phone number and address. I didn't get a smartphone until 2014, lol! ☎️📲
Can’t find funny names and make prank calls anymore. We had a little meat market / produce store on Becher Street (pronounced Beecher) They answered their phone “Becher Meats” until they got tired of us. They finally changed the greeting to “Becher Market”
@anthonychihuahua remember phone booths and people tearing out the page of the phone book that you needed?
@@deweygill1973favorite was living in the country and calling people late at night, telling them that their cow was in your garden?
Sorry folks but we still get two telephone directories every year
When you were talking about the foam wrapper I was saying to myself what the heck, than a minute later I realized that yes they were all foam wrapped! Wow, I totally forgot that, thank you for bringing back that memory, peeling those bottles was what got me in trouble all the time LOL.
Used to love tinsel on our Christmas Tree!!
I really do love your you tube channel. I was born in the 50’s watching theses videos it takes me back to a simpler time. Thanks to all the hard work that you do making them.
Back in the 1970's we had a Christmas tree entirely made of that tin foil. I think it came with red ornaments as well. There was a multicolored strobe light to make it dazzle. Good memories.
I enjoyed tossing maple seeds into the air and watching them fly like a helicopter. I still enjoy them.
Me too!
Me too!
My favorite was the games we played as kids. With the string we would play with our friends my favorite was making Jacob's ladder.
Playing on the equipment when school was out. The merry go round...
Jumping out of the swings to see who would jump the farthest.
We could play outside until it got to dark to see.
We never had smoking at any school I went to and I'm 67.
While they were still green, we also separated the seed part (V), and stuck it to the bridge of our nose like a rhino horn (the inside of the seed was tacky).
We also made 'pig noses' out of the fresh ones. We'd peel apart the two sides, remove the seed and stick the leaf part on our noses.
i miss the good old days of my youth and yes i'm older than dirt lol. i love this channel it brings back good memories of days gone by.

I'm old enough to have dated carbon before others. 🙂
You forgot about Hummel Figurines. My mother collected them.
OJ talking about getting away fast, foreshadowing at it's best 🤣
In a Ford no less. Too bad he isn't renting a Bronco.
Yep ,he got away with it fast enough 😢
I was thinking, all the great old ads and this is what was picked? A murderer.
@@wendyh2708my first thought too.
Remember the Watts Riots? Rodney King? For 50000..... Huey P. Newton?
And you might be older if you remember drinking out of glass soda bottles before the styrofoam
5 cents a piece or Vess in can 3 for a nickel
Drinking Simba at the local bowling alley and yes from a bottle. I’ll be sixty soon and I often wonder what the hell has happened. I miss the analog days. Simpler=Better. 👍
Verner's Ginger Ale, DO NOT BURP!!!
Your eyes will water, and your nose will run if you do.
I've got an old Nehi soda bottle!
@@toddburgess6792still at the store.
Everything single thing mentioned I remember like it was just yesterday. Yep, I'm old.
Do you remember some sort of wax "harmonica" where you chewed the top off the "harmonica", drank the sweet sugar juice inside, and then used the harmonica to make music until the wax melted into a blob?
There's a reason why glass bottle soda tastes better. The acid of the soda erodes the plastic so when you drink soda from a plastic bottle or a can(they line the inside with plastic) you are probably consuming some plastic,
A great memory for me is on the Fourth of July every year there was a field near our house where the whole neighborhood got together to do races, and bike decoration contests, egg tosses etc. But there was always a Coke truck where they took several huge blocks of ice, smashed the ice with a sledge hammer, and then put hundreds of glass bottles of Coca Cola in the ice pile. After running the 4th of July races, those ice cold bottles of Coke were simply amazing. Summer at its finest!
A case of soda in 12 oz cans weighs 22 lbs. 16 oz in plastic a few pounds more. A case of 16 oz in glass weighed 67 lb. I worked for 7up back then. It was heavy to move around.
The difference in taste can also be attributed to the fact that nowadays, soda is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar. Some markets carry Coke that's bottled in Mexico. It comes in glass bottles and is sweetened with (drumroll please) sugar. Took me right back to the taste of Coke in my youth. I found it at Costco and at Mexican grocery stores, but that was some years ago so I don't know which places still carry it.
Creepy fact....In 2022, researchers from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam found microplastics in the blood stream of 77% of its study participants. PET and polystyrene. I've been drinking out of them since their advent in 1978! (I'm 60) "Just call me Plastic Man."
@@CrankyBeach Some believe High fructose is "A" leading contributor to the Diabetes epidemic..that and sitting at a computer too long..like a lot of kids and adults nowdays.
We always put a rock in the back of our parachute men. It made them land a little faster. I had forgotten all about them. Thanks for the memories!
Yes, the parachute men. I played with them for HOURS and HOURS when I was a kid. I owned several of them. Wish I kept them.
I am so old, i remember playing solitaire on a Windows PC without ads
😂
I'm so old we didn't have computers. You played card games with real cards.
@@maisies927I still do that 😂🎉

Ahhh the formica table of my childhood…..we didn’t have designated smoking areas in high school in the 70’s we smoked in the bathroom between classes with six of us girls on one cigarette 😮😂 good times 🎉
We had a red and white Formica set, and we smoked in the girls bathroom too! Once a teacher sprayed ammonia in there and we all ran like cats. Lol. Memories...
@@Sakja haha, no matter how hard the teachers tried we always went back in.
Remember when you didn't need a cell phone because on every corner there was a payphone,,, 😊
And I remember my mother always told me when I was a kid "Always have quarter on you in case you need to call home."
We have two or three still standing, haven't worked in many years of course...
I remember the Life commercial.
I went to Vegas a few time in the early 1970's and I know it will never be like it was. I haven't been back since the mid 80's.
As someone named Mike that grew up in the 70s and 80s, I was constantly asked if I liked something. It finally died down, only to come back about 10 years when I was asked every Wednesday what day it was. Hump Daaaaaay!
Thanks for bringing back good memories for me from my childhood. ✌️❤
My parents built their first house in 1955. We had a yellow Formica kitchen set like pictured. When we moved in 1966 to a new house my parents got a brown table with Formica top and black vinyl chairs. We put the yellow set in our basement rec room. No one ever used it. When I moved out in 1995 I sold it. I wish I hadn’t now. They had these really nice rubber stops on the bottom of each chair leg. Don’t see that anymore. Loved pushups, Coke in a glass bottle. Computers weren’t in my life until 1979 at a job. My dad used to play Solitaire on his computer. I never played cards so no solitaire for me. I was born in 1957 and raised in the 60’s and 70’s. My daughter was raised in the 80’s and 90’s. Familiar with many products through those years.
So many old commercials I love watching. I've seen many RUclips channels that play them and they really bring me back. For some reason, one that sticks out is Lite Beer. They had a lot of ads, and many celebrities, and most will remember "tastes great" "less filling"........but for me, I can still remember the sound of the guys voice at the end that would say "Lite beer from Miller, everything you ever wanted in a beer.......and less."
Mexican made sodas are brands all still in glass bottles. Army soldiers heing dropped with the parachutes are something that was fun. And also, unfortunately Montgomery Ward is gone.
I remember all of it shown on your recollection video, especially the old Las Vegas in very early 1960's, the Stardust too, when all the oldies great stars were still alive, now they all are gone!
I'm not much of an art fan. But I do love Dogs Playing Poker. In real life, NEVER play for money with a Labrador or Golden Retriever. They draw you in with their cute, innocent-looking face. But, somehow, they always wind up with the winning hand!
@@dad4ever-c90 Ours was a completed jigsaw puzzle 😂
Got the picture hanging in my Den
There's a company making these Formica dining Table and chairs still!
Dogs and Cats shitting out tinsel in mid summer was always an Xmas reminder.
The one commercial that you should have included is"Where's the beef". Good video
Omighod, PARACHUTE MEN!
Later I graduated to 12 inch G.I. Joes with mom's sewing thread and dry cleaning bags, and flare parachutes from my Army dad.
OMG. The old casinos were awesome!! The old signs were so kool!
Coke for a nickel makes you feel old. No today doesn't match, corn syrup is crap.
Yeah, and returning our empty soda bottles to buy candy.
@@maisies927And for us it was buying candy at a teemy little store across the street from the church that sold only candy and was only open on Sunday mornings
Damn, seeing the kids in high school, hanging out in of the doorways to the school, brings back memories of being a "burnout" because only "stoners" hung out there haha I didn't smoke that, but man....memories! I remember all except for Vegas. Never had any desire to go there when I was younger, or even now! I don't "feel" that old, man Class of '83 😊
Wait ten years. Class of '73.
@@DavidLS1 Nooo! I'm still 21 inside, although 60 is creeping my way. I'm SO not ready mentally for that, let alone in 10 years....man, I don't like this at all!! 😟😟🥴
@@DavidLS1 Inside I feel 21, 18 at times lol I should have made that more clear! I remember those years like they were yesterday!
I remember cigarette vending machines all over the place when I was a kid. Thankfully I never got into smoking cigarettes, but I do remember those machines everywhere. I think a pack of cigarettes cost about 50 cents back then.
@@bostonwhofan My parents owned a drug store. They sold cigarettes as a loss leader for 32 cents a pack, but if my sisters or I ever thought of smoking, we'd have faced hell from our mother.
I miss those days loved to go back in time and relive those days.
We still use tinsel on our Christmas tree. Makes it look really nice, and brings back memories of years past.
No its not the memories of these things that make me feel old, its the stiff joints and arthritis that mak
@@fionag8869 And the fact that without my glassss I can’t read a word
@@pjesf yep hahahaha and without my glasses i cant really hear that great either
And the back pain.
@@pjesf I had cataract surgery a few months ago. No more glasses. New driver's license without the corrective lenses notation. The only problem is that there must have been something wrong with the DMV's camera. My new photo looks ten years older.
@@DavidLS1 hahahaha yes
LOVE this channel !!
'Just came back from 'enemy territory' meaning, one of the anti-nostalgia channels.
They do exist and the ones there are tough customers, most being (so I gather) younger people who've never lived what such channels endeavor to deride and, older ones that suffered significant damage from their bad experiences of their respective eras.
There, the anger seems as only barely suppressed if that.
Here though such are few in number, our recollections being generally good and upbeat, as it should be for any likewise inclined.
I've not seen this present one yet but now will . . .
4:36 Hell yeah Push Pops as a 90’s kid was the best! Who remembers the Powerpuff Girls ones?!
What I remeber is the glass bottles and the telephones our parents had on the wall the tv guides the box tvs
We had the wall phone but without the feet-long cord that offered mobility but was constantly knotted (cousins had that). Adding insult to injury, the builder put the phone line in a hallway and at the height of a wall phone so talking on the phone was an exercise of endurance. Couldn’t even sit on the floor 😂
This was before the days of plug-in phone jacks in multiple rooms so wherever the phone line was is where the phone would go 😂😂
When,I was little, I remember, when, Tropicana Orange and grapefruit juice came out in the little slim bottles. If you currently buy pre- made orange juice of any kind it’s in these big plastic containers and, it about does not taste like orange juice juice or grapefruit juice, you about have to buy, frozen concentrate so, you actually get the taste of which ever juice you want or make it fresh! Aka/ I love lemonade that way to! 10:46
Eating out of a used toilet paper roll- now that made me LOL!🤣🤣🤣
So many great old commercials out there for you to use & you chose OJ? Can't imagine why. Was fun reliving old memories until then.
Regarding the glass bottles that soda used to come in, also it was all safe in glass bottles, no need to worry about micro plastics as it is with everything today.
I don't know anyone who was poisoned by lead tinsel. Guess they had common sense enough not to eat it.
Same here. The only thing they caused trouble with what the Vacuum Sweeper.
They would clog up the roller on the Vacuum.
I used to have a giant tapestry of the dogs playing poker. I haven't thought of it in thirty years.
@@DavidLS1 We had a velvet painting of the last supper
@@pjesf I prefer the dogs playing poker. :)
@@DavidLS1 That makes 2 of us 😂
Yes, there also one where they was playing pool to! Yes, my grandma had several tapestry’s of the Lord’s Last Supper, one in which she had done in needlepoint and, put in a picture frame. 0:20
@@sonyafox3271 My Aunt used to make those toilet paper cozy dolls. Also these flowers that had the shape of a rosebud but were made out of some kinda craft textile that resembled hair - so it was “styled into” shape and held with … wait for it … hair spray. HORRORS. They were literal dust magnets. My Mom got some and I was like, “Oh Mom no. No, no” 😂
All listed were phasing out when I was around 10 years old, except playing solitary on a personal PC. The frozen push ups cause a lot of brain freeze injuries. Around 1986 is when all food manufactures quickly made the transition from glass to plastic bottles, jars and containers.
Also, the taste of sugar is much better than high fructose corn syrup. The difference is palpable and obvious.
Remember the Nestle's Quik so well, prying off the lid and spooning in more powder than I should, yum!
Awesome video! Loved the pop in glass bottles and have some Coke in glass bottles. Pop tastes better in glass!
Oh my goodness I had forgotten about the crochet doll toilet paper roll covers that my Grandmother had😊
Even though one made a cameo appearance in the film Avengers: Infinity War, younger generations today would have no idea what a Motorola pager was. I owned several back in the day. It was a MUST have if you were a very active person.
In the Army, stationed in Germany in the 70's, crocheted toilet paper covers could be seen in the back window of almost every German car. Because the TP supply at Autobahn rest stops was really quite iffy.
I was there too...1975-1978...darmstadt...army 547th engineer kelly barracks
I also was stationed in Germany (Ayers Kasern) 1966-1969
I was a father in those days. Must be old then .
We had 4 of the Dogs Playing Poker!
That lead tinsel was far superior to the new crap. I still have some in the original box.
You would have to go back a few more years for me as I remember refridgerators were called ice-boxes because the ice man would come to the house every other day with a new block of ice that fit in the holder on top of the fridge. We also had a kitchen stove that burned wood to cook on top and in the oven. I'll be 90 next year.
loved my 1929 copperclad wood cookstove and this was in indiana in 1999 . the little house was designed around the stove and a place to park my motorcycle right inside the front door . the exwife hated my guts " i made sure of it " .
I remember everything! Love the commercials at the end! Holiday Inn and Club Med was very popular back then. Great memories!
My grandma and great grandma were experts at crocheting. Many of the things around our house were hand crocheted!
I did enjoy a good push pop back in the day.
Coke is still available in glass bottles,BTW🙂
Nowadays parents do everything in their power to shield their children from harm, physical or mental at Christmas.
However, back in Recollection's day, parents used natural selection by having Angel Hair, lead tinsel, Chemistry sets with Mercury, and Atomic Energy Labs! 😂😂
We didn't wear seat belts either. Plus the adults smoked cigarettes in the cars. If you were in the back seat with your window down, you got cigarette ashe in your eyes.

There are a couple videos about dangerous toys from the past. I was born in the early 60s but that stuff freaked me out! Those chemistry sets could blow s**t up. 😱😬
We used to play "jacks" and "cat's cradle" as kids. I loved the little prize that would come in the Cracker Jack box.
Oh my word!😮 We had that exact same kitchen table and chairs!!! Same color!🧐😳Plus we smoked in the back parking lot at school
Seeing that Formica and chrome dinette set brought back memories of dinner time where my parents, my sisters and I would sit down to dinner. TV was turned off (way before cell phones)and we spent about an hour eating and actually talking to each other about our day. I really miss those dinners
What's a little lead poisoning in the grand scheme of things? 😂
Mikey! I remember that rumor from many years ago about him dying from a concoction of pop rocks and soda. 🤣 I don't know who comes up with that kind of stuff. I was probably gullible enough back then to believe it. I like to think I'm not THAT gullible anymore. Lol
@@Katclem47 it’s Mentos and Coke now, isn’t it? I try to keep up dontcha know 😂
ok, you're right. i am old!
one grandmother knitted, the other crocheted, and i still to this day (i'm 65) use the toilet paper covers they made. they're just simple but match my bathroom, lol. and i'm always reminded of them.
in the early '60's, we had a formica kids table with blue-ish chairs that we called 'the little table' that my parents continued to use until they redid their kitchen in the mid '90's. it was small so was quite useful!
lol, anyone else have to layer the tinsel in tiny strands? no more than 2 or 3 strands of tinsel at a time? looked great but was tedious.
My stepdad worked at a coke plant in the early 70’s. We’d visit and hear all the glass bottles clanking and then take some home in wooden crates.
Push ups were always my favorite when we could catch the ice cream man (😂), you had to run and get change from your mother( dads may or may not be there, moms where always there) , and Push Ups were usually cheaper than the big bomb pops or chocolate pops . So sad today that kids don’t enjoy running to the ice cream man in the neighborhoods , the ice cream man or woman would be robed, the ice cream would cost a fortune , and kids ain’t outside playing anyway.. 😕
I just Absolutely Love your Channel! What a Treat that Brings back so Many Wonderful Memories! Its Really Great to see these Things Again! Wish I could Put into Word. There's Nothing Like these things! Thank you for Doing This! I Am Truly Grateful!
When I was in High School, smoking is not permitted in school property, but you can smoke in public place including in plane and bus except designate areas.
That pic of dogs playing poker may be kitschy, but I was lucky enough to find a figurine of said dogs, which now I proudly display in my collection.
Thank you !
Yep thanks 😊
lol, I don’t have to see anything to make me feel old, I just have to wake up. lol 😂
True, and you wake up sore and didn't do anything out of the ordinary the day before. 😂
Remember the cool paint jobs in the 60s and early 70s, both cars and pickups and toys. Like the first hot wheel cars and the candy apple cars? The luster was so deep. Lead paint. I knew it is really bad, but I miss the cool paint.
The best thing about those coke bottles was collecting them from all over the place and returning them for the bottle deposit. Holly Hobby was my favorite keepsake, I still have a few pieces left after 40 plus years.
🙂Thanks!💯💥👍!
I was born in 1961; I miss how like use to be and would go back in time to those days if I could.
My father died in 1961
I love pretty much everything from those times except for the smoking. As someone who grew up with allergies and asthma, it was tough to find fresh air in restaurants and on planes that allowed smoking and all of the public places where it existed.
I may be 75 but the music I like isn’t what some people wouldn’t like if they were a lot younger but I still music from the 40s to 2000. And I still stand and walk straight. Probably because of the time I spent in the Marines. I’ve never smoked and I stopped drinking in 2001 too. And yes, I remember most all of the items in this video.
2:24 We had that same exact parachute toy in the mid 60s.
Good Humor man was so awesome when he around.
I know those foam wrappers on colas were the 80s..so 80s is old now...geez..where has time gone? I loved push pops. they still sell them ya know.
The smoking wall is one thing I could have done without. Fortunately I was able to quit before any health issues. So Far. Even though it's been 20+ years I will always be aware I could still develop a bad situation from my stupidity.
My name is Karen, (not really) but I do love your channel. May I respectfully point out that push pops were made of sher-bet? 😊 Thanks for letting me be an English fanatic. Also, I've never seen Mexican jumping beans mentioned in your videos. Were they just a mid west thing?
The jumping beans were in California, too.
@@CesarCloudsNC also
We had them in Maryland,but they would lose their 'jump' in a few hours,lol.
I had the parachuting soldier. Sometimes he would end up in a tree or on the roof, from which it was much harder to retreive. Lead icicles adorned our Christmas tree every year and I do remember the metal Nestle's Quick powdered chocolate tins, but I didn't and still dont' like chocolate milk, so it was the domain of my sisters.
A nice touch on adding the ad's to the end :-)
I could have done without the OJ Simpson one though.
Dang I forgot about those foam wrappers on soda bottles!
Dang, I forgot people used to say 'dang'. :)
Parachute men assembly required. Took a very long time to tie every string. Then the thing barely worked once. 😆
It's always a good day whenever Recollection Road uploads
@NASCARFAN93100,,You might be old,,,If YOU remember this, about young people, in that era, they were NEVER confusion, about what gender they were, NONE, at all. Every kid knew that they either had an innie, or an outie, that God gave them when they were born. There was NO mentally, confused young people, and they knew which bathrooms to use, when they were out, in public. This younger generation needs, to get back to normal, again, if they ever want to accomplish ANYTHING, in life.
I still have and use a 🎉formica table in my dining area- my parents got it used in 1964, gave it to me in 1989, and it's extremely durable where it gets daily use in 2024. I have no idea exactly how old it is
2:57 I still really enjoy these. 9:07 Damn I'm old 😄 I used to imitate these advertisements! Before Simpson became a dishonest murderer.
I remember them off and I still eat life cereal and yeah my name is Mike 10:46
Our school had a smoking area in the courtyard. NC was a major tobacco growing state so that was very common. Loved push ups! I still drink out of glass bottles. The Mexican Coke is great with real cane sugar. DP and Pepsi have the "throwback" drinks also. Who would have thought OJ would turn out to be a villain?
I was born in the mid 50’s and I’m thankful for the opportunity to have grown up when I did.
