Things You Couldn't Live Without In The 1960's And 1970's

I hate those vids with AI narration. They have a weird rhythm. I’m not positive this one is AI but sure sounds like it. They articulate everything but it’s like they cut words off to abruptly. It’s uncanny.

Hamburger helper came in 2 flavors-salt or extra salt

Or "The Way Way Back."

Funny you should ask. In Australia there was a deodorant called Mum at the time which was pitched at teens/20s, whose TV ads went (paraphrasing), "I can get by without having my hair done. I can get by without new clothes. I could EVEN get by without my boyfriend. But I COULDN'T get by without my Mum."

In real life, we couldn't live without the adjustable triangular window cut into the driver's and passenger's side windows. Without air conditioning, it was the only way to get a breeze in those hot summers and stop your siblings being sick in the back seat.

And no kid in the 60s could live without a TV, which only arrived here in 1956-57. You've seen what was on--you'd have wanted one too.

OP, you ripped this off from the AARP newsletter.

Another vote for back-back OP! In other Station Wagon nostalgia:

If you had more than one sibling, how was it decided who got the hump?

Fake exterior wood paneling - Yes or No?

Did your finger draw and imaginary line on the vinyl upholstery to keep a sibling - and his/her cooties - from infecting your side?

I recall my mother making a Hamburger Helper meal once every week. It was cheap so it fit her weekly grocery budget and it was relatively easy to make.

R4 That’s a very good film.

Daiquiri mix!

Kool-aid Punch flavor.( with cyclamates) Forgot all about that one.

Tab! And I was only 10 when the 70s ended.

A pack of Pall Malls.

You really think we’re going to sit through that AI shit, OP?
