    Crazy how therapeutic these videos are, reminding of vivd childhood memories to much easier times w/ no worries. What a fortunate blessing it was to grow up in that era.

      I can't believe I'm the age when things like a Discman and a first generation iPod are museum pieces displayed behind Plexiglass. The TVs in the "living rooms" with the retro rugs bring back memories of lazy days watching TV back in the '80s.

    We had that Sharp DC-7 stereo with the retracting record player! It ended up being nicknamed 'R2D2' in our family on account of its looks and the cool little robot clicks and whirs it made when retracting/extending the record player.
    Looks like they had a lot of pretty cool displays in the show! Thanks for sharing it with us.

    As a 2000s person, I have always had an interest in previous eras. My favorite parts of the video are the vintage toys ESPECIALLY the California Raisins [I LOVE CLAYMATION], the Malt Shop, the DeLorean [my mom was super excited to see it!], and the vintage Jack In The Box drive thru clown head. I've had an interest in Jack In The Box history for a while now, and I actually think the chain was the best in the 60s and 70s from the pictures and commercials I've seen and the things I've heard. Fun Fact, Paul Winchell, best known as the original voice of Tigger from Winnie The Pooh, did the voices of Jack and other characters in 1970s animated Jack In The Box commercials. Only three [Baseball, In The Park, Jack In The Box Animated Commercial 1970s] and three comics [How A House Makes Noise, Where Oil Comes From, How Pain Helps Us] are on RUclips, but I HIGHLY recommend checking them out. There's something neat about the trippy 1970s animation, and Onion Ring Thing sounds EXACTLY like Tigger. Too bad Jack In The Box won't acknowledge they exist, though.
