Born in 1964 so the 70s were my era. I still love Saltines w butter.
I love having grown up in the 70s, wish I could jump in a time machine and go back!
*I wish that the music from the 70s could jump in a time machine and go back. 50s and 60s FOREVER!!!*
Good Lord, I'm older than dirt, I knew all of these things, !!!😮
Would you tell me what that brown woven thing is at 816, I’m 58 and it’s the only thing I can’t recall.
I own many
You know every piece of dirt
Me to lol
I'm OLD I remember all of those things. The car door will also get your fingers to
Oh well I'm old but I still say these were wonderful times😊
Thank you for the fond walk down memory lane. 😁
Hahahaha! I know what all those things are, good times 🤓
Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, what a great show that had such care and concern for the wild, and I was pure in love with Marlin Perkins...Anybody else have a party line on your phone, where you shared your phone line with several other families, and had to take turns using it, You had to learn your special ring, and try not to accidently answer other peoples phone calls. And if somebody else was talking on the line, you found out when you picked up the phone and heard their conversation. Yeah, it sucked. Also, the metal slide was a death trap and if it was hot and sunny and you were wearing shorts, you risked 2nd degree burns before hitting the bottom most likely on a concrete pad. You had to be tough to survive back then.
I remembered Wild Kingdom,but couldn't for the life of me remember Marlin Perkins name.Thank you for remembering. 😊
When I heard, "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. With your host Marlin Perkins" I knew that the weekend was over. It would come on Sundays at around 5:30 PM. We'd watch that show, then it was suppertime. After that, take a bath and go to bed.
We had a party line. We shared with our nosy neighbor, mean ‘ole Mrs. Hokana!😂
@marianneporter26 We also had party lines until 1993. Even the pay phone up at the highway was a party line. I think anyone who was at home when the phone rang would pick up and listen in, even if it wasn't their ring. 🤔
I'm from Chile, most of the things you showed I was able to recognized.... I'm 51, borne in 1972, and I was a teenager on the 80's. Life was so much better and funny... it doesn't matter if you cut, hit, burn or even break a leg or arm... you just wipe yourself and continue playing with friends... THANKS for this beautiful memories you gave us... and please excuse me if I make mistakes... English is my second language... Bear hug!😊
Your English is very good 👍
I was born in 1960 and I remember the majority of those items so yes I'm old but I'm still here!!😊😉👍
I have a paper cutter and one of those pencil sharpeners here in the room with me. And use both. Square key door and ignition, round the trunk. "Oh, it's just something I saw in the window". You can still find the drinking bird in novelty shops. We actually used those pull tabs as fishing lures and they worked. Bus drivers and others used to wear those coin changers. School desks, duck and cover. Still have some church keys (they come in handy) and that's 35mm film after developing. Let's face it, some of us are so old, we fart dust. 🤓🤓
Don't forget the popsicle man wearing one of those.
Ahh the coin changers. Used to see them at A&W back when they were a drive in (and they made their root beer on site).
Those coin changers are still used today in casinos.😀
@@pennywhistle9060 Yes, the Good Humor man. Also my FIL who was a Helms Bakery man for 30 years in the Venice area of LA.
I fart water, because water was before dirt..lol
I am old, too. I never liked the Carol Burnett Show, but the "It's Curtains" skit still cracks me up!
Those GM keys I still use a set every day 😂 i actually prefer those old floor dimmer switches
Aww...A sweet trip down memory lane. I still get to enjoy Circus Peanuts and still have a few of these item's. I miss those days.😥
"Who is this guy and what is he singing?" Ok. That one caused beer to come out my nose.
I didn’t know that was- who and what?
He looks like Ron Jeremy. Who is it?
Yup, Ol Ron Jeremy! Not really singing a song.
"Ahh, ooh, aaahhhh!"
How he got to be a porn star, I don't know. I know 😏 but he was Fat, unattractive and sweaty in his films.
I’m only 26 but I drive a vehicle with a floor dimmer switch, and single sided keys. I drive manual cars too. I have and use a 1960s western electric rotary phone. Call me old fashioned but I wish I could have lived in those times.
It was cheaper for sure. Not as much stress.
At times it was a ruff living back then
Love the trip down memory lane. I remember them all. As well as the smell of the caps when you shot them off!
So, you like the smell of burnt mercury fulminate mixed with black powder...
Not only the cap guns, but those plastic rockets you put them in and when you threw them up and they hit the ground they went off.
As soon as you mentioned the smell, I immediately had a whiff of it in my nostrils! Hadn't thought about it for years!
I didn't have the gun. I used a rock.
@@tinytt854 A hammer also work quite well.
As an Australian, some of those things meant nothing to me. I did like seeing the computer that my high school had in the computer room. I still have my pirate copy of Windows xp. As my parents didn't smoke, we used the car's ashtrays to put lolly/candy wrappers in. My older sister still has her ball typewriter that my parents got her when she started high school, it came with 3 different balls with different fonts. Who else would leave their house on their push-bike at the crack of dawn with the only requirement being that you had to be home before the street lights came on.
Born in 1960 and i remember all of these! Excuse me while i go and get my thing maker and make some creepy crawlers! LOL
I had one of those! I loved it. Wish I still had it.
Mutual Of Omaha....the best memories...Wild America too!
We had eight tracks when I was a kid.
I'm with you, that goes way back but nice to look back on these things and remember the day's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing 😊
The "mercurochrome" of my childhood was called Iodine. It was the duct tape of bodily injuries. It cured everything. Same red color.
I’m 40, and I remember or recognize most of this from before my time. I’m not old; technology has just leaped that quickly.
When you're sentence begins with "back in my day..."
Mine starts with " I remember when..." First time I caught myself saying it, I thought..oh no, when did I get this old ?
Wish I could hit 88 mph in the delorian and go back in time..😂
I feel so out of date now. Everything in here was part of my life at some point. Being small and trying to wrestle those heavy car doors is a memory. And sliding across the bench seats on the turns. That was in the pre-seat belt days.
This is so sweet.Yep,I am officially old,from weird lineoleum designs to car cigarette lighters to the 'get smart' shoe phone.Ha ha ha.Thanks for this!! Memories from that time are so rich! 0:01 And the pencil sharpener! Definitely confuses kids now.
I had the linoleum on the far right in my kitchen, and I bought it new and we installed it ourselves. Wow.
Occasionally a little WD40 in my sharpener and still keeps going.
So, how do you sharpen a pencil these days? I have several pencil sharpeners I use frequently
I don’t remember mecurochrome stinging; it was iodine that crossed your eyes! And I must be ancient as I remember all of these marvels.
Yup remember everything 😂😂😂 I'm turning 46 this year
Thanks for the trip back. . . . . never could afford a wrist calculator 😟, or T.P. tunes ? Avon bottles were collectible, I see em at estate sales . Some had good smelling stuff LOL
Jimmy Buffet wasn't the only one who cut his heel on that darned pop-top.
Thanks, you made me realize just how old I am now!😱😱 😂😂😂 I really enjoyed this.
The frickin Mercurochrome... I would run when I saw that red bottle come out of the medicine cabinet 😅😅
I still have a couple trucks with a dimmer switch on the floor ,got a club antitheft device somewhere too .
Oh man! Bring me a box of Saltines and the butter dish 😃😂
Fact: 30 yrs ago wasnt the 70s, it was 1994 (Jurassic Park time)...Fact: Youre old when your Music you heard in the 90s are now Classics...when you realise that the 99/00 change ist nearly a quarter century...when you say to your new young colleague you starts with working when Jimmy Carter was President (Carter= same Era like Roosevelt or Lincoln for them)...when you remember your feelings when you saw Star Wars A New Hope or Indiana Jones as Teenager in Cinema and realise that they are 48 and 44 yrs old...
Most of these things are familiar. I still have my Apple IIe computer. It still works,
I remember ALL of those things. Being an avid photographer, I can't tell you the number of rolls of film I shot through my 35mm camera. I had binders filled with the negatives, should I ever need reprints. It was such a blessing when technology came up with a solution to digitize these to the computer. The paper cutter is my favorite, up until a few years ago, our office had several of them. I also remember the typing ball for the IBM Selectric 8000 typewriter, as I used one for advice documents in my accounting position for many years. Now everything is on the computer.
That was undeveloped camera 📷 film but since I was born in 80 the film remember was in rolls or polaroid I miss them days so much
I recognize most of these things!
Our apartment basements still have those radioactive signs. All of them do
AHHHH, the good old days😔 I miss these simpler times. We had a cigarette machine in my high school😂 and they cost 90cents a pack🤯. Bring back these days and prices please😂😂😂😂
A lot I remember growing up. But some; not so much.
"Familiarity from movies & tv doesn't count." - what I'm telling my old @ss
Who can remember the old foil lined cardboard oil cans that you used that oil spout/can opener to use. You had to make sure you needed the whole quart because there was no putting a lid on it and throwing into the trunk. Also, how about those old, people killing, bumper Jack's. Was always afraid of those things. They were always soooooo stable.
Born in 61. Knew most of these. Some of them I still use, like a church key. Think I found a total of 9 after my husband died. He was always misplacing them.
*The steel toothed bike pedal on a fixed gear bicycle, full speed comes around, and smokes you right in the shin (as you slip off the pedals).* 💀
Wow, memory lane. I actually miss a lot of these. Better time when you didn't have to care or worry. Then you grow up.
Borm in 1970 and love being GenX 🙃
Circus peanuts , my Dads favorite. Don’t forget to unplug the electric heater !
That thing is a paper slicer. I use one for slicing vinyl siding. @:26
It's called a guillotine cutter. Schools had them for cutting stacks of paper at a time.
Not only do I know all of these items, I've used all of them, and still own and use several of them. Good Lord, I'm ancient.
Good old days,👍😊!!!
Several of these were still readily around in the 90s too
I am old and know all of these things. But the paper cutter I used in work 5 years ago. My current work doesn’t have one. But they should!
Born in '57 so, all this is familiar to me. Mercurichrome was my dad's favorite fix for any "boo boo" that didnt require a trip to ER. I think he enjoyed my extra pain.
Born in 63..I know every one of these things..lol
That wii controller lol. I love when kids under 30 say “back in the day.”
The red rolled up stuff you put in your Clint Eastwood piece…, roll it on a marble with one side sticky tape and throw it to a hard surface….im that old
We still have and use a paper cutter at work and still use pencils and a pencil sharpener on the wall. Works better than the electric sharpener.
4:36 High beam switch.
As Mike from The Horror Geek says, "Do you kids even *remember* any of this stuff? Christ, I'm old." 😀
My master's thesis is on a floppy disc 😂 My PhD thesis had evolved significantly though 🤣🤣🤣
I would love more videos like this they make my old ass feel a little younger and smarter than the lazy generation
Do any new cars (2024) have built-in CD players anymore? I remember having to take a portable CD player years ago to listen to audiobooks while driving. Am I going to have to revert to that again?
I've been to the corner in Winslow,Arizona
Sa!tines And Peanut butter. Best ever
What is the rectangular thing at 2:00? I was born in 1962 and remember most of these, except that. Lol
An ancient tablet; Egyptian, I think.
It's a cuneiform tablet. Cuneiform is the first writing ever. It was used to write the Sumerian language in Mesopotamia. It goes back about 4.5 thousand years. It was made by pressing the end of a stick in soft clay, then heating the dried clay to make it fairly permanent.
That was great a nd I am old
Thought of one more. Who looks at you if you say "carbon paper". Yet the "CC" on your email screen stands for "carbon copy".
How about ditto copies with the blue ink. ?
@@phoenixspirit9530 When the teacher would make copies of a test to hand out we used to like to sniff the ink on the page. (the mimeograph ).
I just checked my pulse. I'm that old I'm dead.bugger
I remember everything except the cuneiform tablet. Still have the paper cutter 🤣
All very familiar to me, except that mom would stir molasses and butter together for the saltines. She grew up in the depression and they had to make do. Bliss! I highly recommend
Well,I don't know about high schools having smoking areas...I went to 2 high schools,and could be on,or near campus smoking... Yeah,I can relate to most of these things...Class of 1983 here!"
That's COULD NOT smoke on Campus...couldn't learn to type on a smartphone either,they didn't exist!😁👍
What about the plastic see through little bird 🐦 figurines that you would fill up with water and blew it through it's tail to make it sing like a Canary.
0:47 I recognized all of them either from family members bathrooms my elementary school's old bathroom tiles before the remodeling or family members kitchens one of them was my parents old floor bathroom tile
I remember all of the things that were shown and have used them some I still do so I’m really old
Yep New all of them u for green stamps n records
I couple of the American things are a bit lost to me like “snow day” that said our schools would close if temps reach over 40degrees Celsius (I’m Aussie) however a majority of those I know well Much like that bike pedal, almost lost an Achilles 9pm riding in thongs(flip flops) and sweatpants, the chain and gear bites the cuff dragging my foot off the pedal and just as fast the pedal comes right around and attempted to amputate my foot got home and mum scolds me for not wearing proper cycling attire and I was supposed to be home at 8pm
I knew all these and used most of them as a 90s kid all the designs I had in my house or my grandparents house. Except I don't think ron Jeremy was singing....
Thanks! It's been a long time since I use my skills in English 😅😊❤
I still use a wringer washer.😮😮😮😂
I believe it. Things then were built to last. I want one.
the peddles yea they hurt, but try raceface Chester's with the pins, they cut deeper than old style flats.
Im feeling preetty old right now
0:00 Crank pencil sharpener, without it's container. Had one in every classrooms. 0:22 A hand guillotine, and yes, I've used some a few times. 1:17 I remember a time BEFORE that shutdown screen. Before hard drives outside a main frame. 1:38 I used to play with those... And not only as intended. Those dark spots are fulminate with a bit of black powder. 1:45 Used and still have one in a box, somewhere. 2:00 About 4000 to 5000 years to young😜 3:48 Similar, but wooden body and metal handholds. Top of body about 3' above the step. 4:36 Headlight control to switch between low and high beam. 5:36 Open the side along the dotted lines, cut the inner bag with a knife, pour milk in and enjoy. 7:03 Mercurochrome. That stuff is mercury oxide dissolved in rubbing alcohol.
My family was one of the first in our area to get a home computer. My Mom was an engineer and worked on the big computers that were programmed with cables, so as soon as computers were available we had one. It had a tiny monochrome screen, no mouse, only DOS. You had to program the computer so you could then run the program to do something, like a list of books. No spreadsheets, nothing. And the dot-matrix printer was so loud we had to leave the room while it was operating.
Just used the paper cutter at work last week Now safe to turn off the computer… our three axis metal cutting machine does that
2:14 I am not that old and even I know what it is, R.I.P Don Adams. but I'm afraid you "missed it by that much"
🤣
Yes me too. I knew all of them and I'm only 35
I was always afraid my finger would somehow end up in the pencil sharpener - I spent hours of class time fixated on that thought (❤ for the other undiagnosed neurodivergent girls of the 70s/80s)
used a paper trimmer in school,, have a scar on right shin from that pedal!!! yep , turn 83 in june!!!
Life was alot easier back then
I'm born in 1960 and yes - I know all of these
I want to go back. Please. The Desk was boomer fallout shelter. And gen x after.
Haha ... 1:55 made my day :-)
Phone booths?
We got mecurachrome if it wasn’t our fault methylate if it was. It made mecurachrome seem like peroxide. Good old days when mercury and meth were medicines😁
Those were hair ties not click clacks
That's what they meant. If it slipped while you were putting it around your ponytail, you'd get a whack to the skull.
0:44 Yes, all of them.
My school had a smoking area at the junior high
It's not that bloody long ago. Any kid in the 80s would know this stuff. Not like it's 100 years ago
