I miss the Coppertone smell, it was such a part of summer back then.

It is so nice to reminisce with people who know what I'm talking about! Growing up in the 50s, 60s and 70s was such a different world than today. It was digitally absent but humanly present. People related to each other one on one not through codes, numbers and digits. For me, this was a much better childhood and adulthood, too. Even if you were a latch key kid, someone in your neighborhood was always available to look after you or talk to you in person! I appreciate this Recollection Road because it represents all we lost. I would like to say and gained but to be honest, I don't see society in a better place and I feel sorry for kids today who missed out on America in its heyday. I am grateful to all of you commenting who get this and share your wonderful memories. It means more than you know even if it is digital! It is based on a lost reality we all shared. Thank you. :)

My 5 siblings and I were all 11 or younger when my Dad died. My single Mom raised us all on a nurse's salary with no government aid. And we had no idea until we were adults how poor we had been. Nobody whined or wallowed in self-pity back then.

My Mom had the coffee perking on the stove timed to perfection!!! God I miss those days 💞

Every example hit home with me. Born in 1961 and we sure had a lot of fun

Sucrets in the iconic tin....wonderful memories.
Band-aids also came in a metal tin.

I miss the old times. I grew up in the 1960's, in Oregon. I would love to go back, even for a hour.

I was born in 1957, and grew up in the 1960's, and I lived in Detroit, Michigan. My Mother did Grocery Shopping at A&P, and Great Scott !Supermarket. I grew up on A&P and Great Scott!.And, I remember when my Mother would Wash Clothes in a Maytag Square Wringer Washing Machine.
I remember the 1960's and those were the Good Old Days. 8:14

Transistor radios. Prell shampoo. Right Guard deodorant. Swinger Polaroid cameras. Taking the bus into town alone at 10 years old to see a movie.

I remember the stamps and books obtained from visits to the supermarket. You could redeem these for items you could select from a catalog. The more filled books you redeemed, the better the prize.

IMHO the 60s was the best decade of TV there has ever been.

Back in the 70's my mom and Dad worked very hard my mom was really industrious she sold Shaklee and Avon. And they rewarded me for good grades with $10.00 a week, with some chores around the house, yet I felt like Daddy Warbucks.😅

3:06 The old "Electric Blankets" were really good, really warm, and lasted for a decade.
The new ones are "warming blankets, " don't get very warm, and don't last more than a couple years.
I called the manufacturer and asked why: Because some people don't have feelings and can't tell if they're getting over-heated, and of course ahem, "off shore" manufacturing.

Brillo and SOS soap pads were also used to clean and brighten the white side wall tires that seemed to be on many of our cars of the 1960s.
As well as striped gum, there also was "Stripe" tooth paste that was extruded from its tube in alternating white and red stripes! JJS

You should do a video on the longevity of appliances from the 50's - 80's vs. those of today.

I remember the Beechnut gum. We loved it when we were kids, and we used to fold up the wrappers and make them into chains. My chain was several feet long. I grew up in Phoenix. We didn't have A&P Stores so we didn't have Eight O'Clock coffee. My parents drank MGB coffee. Maxwell House was another popular brand. We also had Laura Scudders Potato Chips and Clover Club Potato Chips. Both were good, but I preferred Laura Scudders. Their tagline was, "Laura Scudder's Potato Chips are the Nosiest Chips in the World."

When the Western Electric Model 500 was in use, it was supplied by the phone company, the Bell System, there was only one phone system. When you arranged for service they came around and hooked you up and supplied you with a phone. If you had them install more than one jack, you could get a phone for each at a nominal charge, but the phone and all related equipment was not yours, it belonged to the phone company. It wasn't until the era of princess phones and push button phones that people actually purchased telephones.

I was a brownie in 2nd grade. Loved it too. We made crafts. I loved vacation Bible school too. More crafts.
