As a little kid in the late 60's - early-70's, we had a huge black&white console TV with a stereo and record player. I remember having to go to bed after watching The Walton's.
I saved green stamps. I got a lot of small kitchen appliances . A toaster,a hand mixer that i still use to this day. Electric can opener, and china. These items were expensive back in the day. Especially for young couples starting out. A smart move to keep customers coming back week after week. Women made sure to get their grocery list correct. No running back to tge store everyday to buy something. Average family only had one car.
Every week, after grocery shopping, we would put a sponge in a saucer of water, tear the sheets of green stamps to fit the pages of the saver books, press the stamps on the wet sponge and put them in the books. We got a lot of things with green stamps.
Yes indeed, we had a huge wood framed floor model tv back then, and a huge floor model record player/ A track player that had speakers designs similar to a church organ. Flipped open on top like a casket. I was scared of the record player. I was around 6 or 7 years old. Those were the days.
Beatles were on Tonight Show first... months before their Ed Sullivan Show appearance. Cigarette companies played a major role in the development of television ☺
Pogo sticks became lemon squeeze thing in a sealed bucket with water, sugar and lemons. The stores were in many mall food courts. The employees were always thin and pretty girls: teenage or young college girls, wearing many colored striped tank tops, beanie caps, and short shorts. They would jump on this pogo stick squeezing thing where everyone could watch, and the men and boys liked watching! Big crowds of them, watching for all like an hour or til they finished making the lemonades. They sold hotdogs dipped in batter and fried, or corn dogs. The shop was called Hot Dogs on a Stick.
There are still some drive ins, knew of one at the junction of rtes 31 and 32 in eastern CT, using radio stations, but with a girlfriend, I didn't really watch the movie
The poodle skirt became known as circle skirt. They became circle dresses, or moved up to cover the upper part of the body, with straps to go over the shoulders.
Maybe modern kids dont have nuclear duck and cover drills, but they do have intruder drills since people like to bring weapons into schools. I think today’s kids have it worse.

In high school in 950's Miami, my mom's poodle skirts had ocean-themed designs.
I loved my poodle skirts! I felt so grown up and glamorous wearing them ❤
The only government officials I trust are Smokey the Bear and Woodsy the Owl
As a teenager in the 80's, the movie Roller Skating pushed us into dancing on wheels.
I remember Pack Man and Donkey Kong on these handheld games.
Waaaay back, my mom collected S&H Green Stamps.
I remember the close to violence (by adults!) in stores of when there were a few left on the shelves.
Green Stamps were for the young parents in the 50s and 60s they weren't for us who grew up in the late 60s and 70s.

We used to exaggerate bell bottom jeans with a triangle-shaped piece of fabric sewned in. We called them "elephant ears".

Anyone remember the air bells at gas stations and there weren't any 24-hous stations?
No 24 hour gas stations where I live
@@TheSleepingonit Wow!
I actually worked at a gas station back when it was considered a job only for males.
Stamps are still used in Japan at drugstores, supermarkets, bakeries, barber shops and stores.
We also had a bakery truck similar to Ice cream truck. They sold donuts, bread, candy.
😂 my mother would collect Green stamps and all these books and they were pretty good
ONE THING I NOTICE IS RESPECT, IN MY DAY I'D NEVER HAVE TALKED BACK TO MY PARENTS BUT TODAY.....WELL!!!
There are still some drive ins, knew of one at the junction of rtes 31 and 32 in eastern CT, using radio stations, but with a girlfriend, I didn't really watch the movie
No one watched the movie 😂That's what indoor theaters are for 😅

The carbon copy of the documents were in very thin paper called onion skin. They even had the company logo on them.

Some folks would put the soda can tabss right into the can/soda. Many people chocked and died from this action.
Some would make extravagant chain decorations out of them
It was common practice. I never knew of anyone drinking the pop top so I will guess the chokers were drunk or else that is an urban legend 😮
