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.
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.
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 💙
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. . . 😀
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
@@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 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 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.
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 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.
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. 🙏
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!
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. 😊
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 🙏
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
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.
Recently I was chatting with Judy Norton (Mary Ellen Walton) about Battle of the Network Stars. She has great memories and enjoyed doing them. I mentioned that Robert Conrad and Kristy McNichol often dominated. Your videos are the best. I’m so blessed to be a 1958 Baby Boomer.
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.
Okay, now you're making me hungry with the candy memories! My grandmother loved bridge mix. But she kept all kinds of other great candy as well. She kept the candy collection in an old green metal cabinet. I distinctly remember walking to her cabinet and opening the door, mouth watering, just waiting to gobble up all of those delectable treasures. Thanks for the memories even if it puts me at risk of gaining a pound or two! 😄
For a real trip down memory lane, Google "Old timey candy." You can still get BB Batts, those strips of paper with the colored sugar dots on them and even wax lips...although the wax doesn't taste the way it used to.
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.
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 GREATLY ENJOY YOUR CHANNEL! It really brings back memories of my childhood as well as things and places that have sadly faded away. Keep the great memories coming
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.
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.
My dad worked all day as a telephone linemen. He would eat dinner with all of his 8 kids. After dinner he go outside and rake the gravel in our driveway. He come back in and sit in the recliner. We had no AC no fans either in Monmouth County NJ. We had a very small living room Most of us laid on the floor . My dad liked Jackie Gleason Show, Combat, Dragnet. Then we kissed dad goodnight and off to bed we went to an even hotter upstairs no fans no ac. But it was summer we didn’t have school. We did however go to the beach which was 2 very long blocks away. 😉
Very cool. Sounds like a beach house. I’m a Monmouth Co. gal too. Oldest of five. First Matawan in 63, a Levitt Cape. We did have central AC. Back then Sea Bright was our day beach or walk to the pool club. Next was Holmdel. Moved in 71. AC there too. With my dad’s hay fever the windows were closed in May-Sept. Started going to Manasquan then. Lots of good times
@@samanthab1923 the house was built in 1800’s maybe the fuses would blow if we used fan. It was Deal NJ we lived in the Patch. Mostly hard working families and the town had Mansions and 2 beach clubs.
I'm not sure if this happened to everyone back then or if was just here on the east coast. We could only get gas on odd or even days , depending on the last digit of the license plate. The gas stations would let us know if they had gas by having a green flag for yes gas and a red flag for no gas. Also the gas station,or service station as we called them, had those hoses that the car had to run over to make the ding ding noise .
Yup.. I'm definitely OLD... and PROUD OF IT!
We had the Best! 😎
@@marknewton6984 Yes we did. I was born in '62 and I remember everything in this video. I'd give anything to go back to those days and stay there!
How old are You ?
Life was awesome and simple back then. Boy I miss those days.
Me too! 😎
@@marknewton6984Same here!👍
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
'Old' sneaks up on you while you're not looking. Thanks for the memories!
Boy ain't that the truth!
I fought as hard as I could to not get 'old'. I lost the battle. At least I'm here to tell about it.
@@61rampy65 Amen!
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!!!
Root beer barrels. Those were my favorites. You can still find them in most grocery stores.
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!
This doesn't make me feel old at all but instead nostalgic, sentimental and fortunate. Everyone be careful out there!
Amen!
And you as well friend!

I don’t remember those but I do remember the giant glass ones that could hold seemingly dozens of cigarettes as a staple on coffee tables near and far
In my head, I can actually hear the sound of letting the license plate go when you're done pumping gas. I love it.
Back then you could check your oil, clean your windshield and straighten your car before it clicked off! Now you turn around and it's done! 😂
Remember you could almost fill your tank up from the change you kept in the ashtray? Those days are way gone! 😮
Or a 64 Chevy door shut , such a beautiful sound😊
@@shannonbales9148And now a house less than 220 thousand is hard to find unless it's a dump
Whoever opened that can of Hawaiian Punch did it correctly-- one large triangle for the juice to flow, and a small triangle to let the air in!
Yes I remember opening those cans with the bottle opener on both sides.
I noticed that, too. And I smiled.
Wish I could go back and relive it,even for 1 day.Times much simpler,but we didn’t know it back then.

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.
My grandma never did learn to pump her own gas. She always had the attendant pump it in full service. She passed away in 2000.
I remember 16c a gallon during gas wars in Texas
My Nonna always kept two candy dishes… one has Hershey’s Kisses and the other had lemon drops. I still lust after them to this day.
My Nan always had the red & white peppermints. My dad preferred butterscotch.
My grandma was the same, but she had a dish of mixed candy, and one full of those crumbly square peppermints.
I am old I remember everything
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. 🙏
I remember the Brach's pick a mix candy , where you picked different candies and weighed them in a bag.
or, just helped yourself to a little free candy...
@@z-z-z-z 😯😄
I bought a beanbag ashtray about 12 years ago. I was blown away that they still existed.
We still have the gold ashtray on the mental stand that my father in law used.
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!
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?
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!
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 😀
The 70s was the best decade of my life. From high school through college.
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.
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 believe some of these programs were revived in the 1970s, or approximately then.
I know there were later versions of at least a couple.
Romper room, captain kangaroo, shari lewis.
Kukla Fran and Ollie
Howdy Doody was my favorite
@@deanbrunner261I thought I was the only one.
At my grandmas house she always had lemon drops in her candy bowl loved them and still do.
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.
Love all of these videos
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!
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.
Yep I am definitely old then ... I remember all of these :)
80s kid here who remembers Hawaiian Punch being served at snack time at Sunday School and Vacation Bible School at church!
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!
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.
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 TH-cam. I enjoy watching it.
My first car, a 1972 Chevrolet Impala, had the flip down license plate.
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.
Great episode sir. Lots of great memories. 👍
Recently I was chatting with Judy Norton (Mary Ellen Walton) about Battle of the Network Stars. She has great memories and enjoyed doing them. I mentioned that Robert Conrad and Kristy McNichol often dominated. Your videos are the best. I’m so blessed to be a 1958 Baby Boomer.
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.
Okay, now you're making me hungry with the candy memories! My grandmother loved bridge mix. But she kept all kinds of other great candy as well. She kept the candy collection in an old green metal cabinet. I distinctly remember walking to her cabinet and opening the door, mouth watering, just waiting to gobble up all of those delectable treasures. Thanks for the memories even if it puts me at risk of gaining a pound or two! 😄
For a real trip down memory lane, Google "Old timey candy." You can still get BB Batts, those strips of paper with the colored sugar dots on them and even wax lips...although the wax doesn't taste the way it used to.
@@DavidLS1 the wax lips reminded me of the wax vials, with cool-Aid inside , that we would get on Halloween. 😀
@@GothGuy885 Never cared for those wax bottles. They always struck me as being a rip-off.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot ,,,,❤❤👍👍❤❤👌👌❤❤
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.
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.
Where I live we still have metal trash cans, in ground. I loved MASH 0:00 and have seen the reruns many times.
I still have my Pippi Longstocking doll, never going to give that up. It was given to me from my favorite Aunt.
My grandmother had coffee candy, butterscotch or Wrigleys chewing gum in her purse.
I GREATLY ENJOY YOUR CHANNEL!
It really brings back memories of my childhood as well as things and places that have sadly faded away.
Keep the great memories coming
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.
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.
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 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.
I remember the books I read when I was young.
My dad worked all day as a telephone linemen. He would eat dinner with all of his 8 kids. After dinner he go outside and rake the gravel in our driveway. He come back in and sit in the recliner. We had no AC no fans either in Monmouth County NJ.
We had a very small living room
Most of us laid on the floor .
My dad liked Jackie Gleason Show, Combat, Dragnet.
Then we kissed dad goodnight and off to bed we went to an even hotter upstairs no fans no ac. But it was summer we didn’t have school. We did however go to the beach which was 2 very long blocks away. 😉
Very cool. Sounds like a beach house. I’m a Monmouth Co. gal too. Oldest of five. First Matawan in 63, a Levitt Cape. We did have central AC. Back then Sea Bright was our day beach or walk to the pool club. Next was Holmdel. Moved in 71. AC there too. With my dad’s hay fever the windows were closed in May-Sept. Started going to Manasquan then. Lots of good times
Why no fans? We had a big window fan in the front room that would suck air through our whole apartment.
@@DavidLS1 I didn’t ask
@@samanthab1923 the house was built in 1800’s maybe the fuses would blow if we used fan. It was Deal NJ we lived in the Patch. Mostly hard working families and the town had Mansions and 2 beach clubs.
@@DavidLS1 I think because this house was built in 1800’s the fuses blew easily.
My dad was employed by the city as a garbage collector back in the day when garbage cans were still in use.
I'm not sure if this happened to everyone back then or if was just here on the east coast. We could only get gas on odd or even days , depending on the last digit of the license plate. The gas stations would let us know if they had gas by having a green flag for yes gas and a red flag for no gas. Also the gas station,or service station as we called them, had those hoses that the car had to run over to make the ding ding noise .
I loved the pippi longstokings movies and mash
