The first part of the 70's I was a kid but in the middle of the 70's I was a teenager. So I loved growing up in that decade. These ads bring back sweet memories for me.

      My older brother spent several of his summers working for a moving company way back in HS. One of his jobs was clearing out the home of a divorcing couple and I guess the woman was giving away their waterbed (possibly out of spite? 😁) so my brother took it. As he was still at home, he and my parents had to move literally EVERYTHING out of his small bedroom to make the behemoth of a bed fit! It literally was "The Bedroom!" (as not much else fit! 😂) After he left for college, I slept on it occasionally, but I'd wake up and I felt like I had water up my nose EVERY damned time! That was SO annoying AND bizarre as it had no leak! 🤔💧

    I was born in January, 1968. Ergo, I am familiar with all 20 of these 1970s superfads! I had several of them, including Ker-Plunk!, Simon, the Lemon Twist, all variations of Nerf products, Clackers, Sea Monkeys (I was disappointed to see that they looked NOTHING like they did in the commercials or packaging!), I LOVED Tang!! 🧡 and I had several other magical 70's toys as well. It was SUCH a fun decade to be a kid!! (TBH, pet rocks were such a rip off! Even I could see that when I was a kid! 😂) However, I was FAR too young to have ever tasted "Billy Beer!" (And I doubt I would have liked it anyway!! 😖) However, I remember when it was released. Poor President Carter; how embarrassing! 🤣

    Nice list. Sea-Monkeys and Simon are still around in 2024 and have withstood the test of time so far for new generations. I think the great early 1980s Coleco-Vision unfortunately ended up being a fad due to the timing of its release during the Video Game Crash, when most retailers didn't want to carry any more video games in that era.

    I just had to have Klackers and saved up my money to get some. I quickly learned that if you hit your arm when using it , it hurt like heck. Then I wondered what would happen if I hit my face.? Suddenly my Klackers went to the bottom of my toy box.

      @@ThoseWonderYears When they play I ask them to analyze the positions the sticks and marbles are in before they pull a stick. I also tell them to think about how they're placing the sticks so that the pattern they make will give them an advantage. The game takes longer than the pull-a-stick-at-random version, but they get a sense of how to pull a stick below so that when an upper stick is pulled a hole exists for the marbles to fall through, and which stick will trigger the cascade. They have to remember which stick is the trigger and avoid it if possible.

I couldn't get a direct answer; all that I got were recommendations for how to inter a dead rock, mostly in your garden. (But no way to diagnose death in a pet rock 😢)😊😅😂‼️
