I was 9 in '67 and yes oddly enough I have always remembered that as a really good year in the 1960s . Things changed a lot by '68 ... what a strange and sad year 68 was . Yes we had great music , great everything ... there was just a lot of fun in the air in '67 . I'm glad that lifeguard was really cool towards you and treated you like her little brother . Wouldn't that be great if somehow all these years later you found out who she was and that she's still alive and you could somehow be able to thank her .

Mary Jo , I was 9 years old and 67 and I would love to go back to the 60s and 70s . I think each decade got weirder and weirder and weirder after that. And yes 1967 was a great year when I think about it it often has a very friendly feeling to it ... if that makes any sense haha. And I just subscribed to your channel and I'm your first subscriber because you love 1967

Ditto.

You know I would.😉

Could it be because you were a child that the 1967 seems so perfect to you?

Me too

We were still going to win in Vietnam, Chuckie Manson would have become a Beach Boy instead, and RFK/MLK wouldn’t be shot dead the next year. The television and music are a pleasant memory of the time before everything went straight to hell.

Me too! 12/12/1955

@@unassistedsuicide2243 yes '68 was a weird year , sad and violent ... those assassinations and I remember watching the Detroit Riots on TV ... I was 10 years old . It is a shame that somebody didn't give a break to Manson ... but we still don't know ... because let's say he had become pretty successful and was making decent money as a musician getting recognition and having a really nice home ... it doesn't mean he would not have been very manipulative and using people and nasty in a really evil way . I used to think the same thing ... if only people had been nicer to him and helped him in the music industry ... but really , he still could have turned out to be one of those Hollyweird abusers ... just a rich and happy one . And who knows he could have as and unhinged well-off musician still destroyed people's lives .

Willie I was 9 in '67 and I know what you mean where it's fun to revisit that year and some of the other good years but then it does sometimes get depressing to know they're gone and you can't really go back there . I really don't like this era I mean I like having the internet and how easy it is to research anything and have KZfaq like this but we're living in weird times ... sometimes it feels like an alternate universe we live in now , doesn't it ? And who could have predicted it would be so much more expensive to live and not in a normal type of inflationary way nowadays .

My Family didn't get one until 1975, that Old B&W Tube set was made in 1957, a Magnavox.

A 1974 Hitachi with remote , WOW , it lasted over 20 years .

We had a black & white TV until 1973. Different shades of gray. 😞

Yeah we didn't get a color TV either until sometime in the late 70s ... maybe 1977 . When your friends had color TV and you didn't and you went over their house it was just like a whole other Universe opening up watching things in color .

We got our first color TV after our black and white one was destroyed in the 1971 Sylmar earthquake.

I never heard that saying before but yeah it was an easier time and things have gotten more sophisticated and crazy and I miss 1967

Well, I wouldn't say everything before the 1980

@@HaterTaterLater I think he meant commercials

Yes, just my exact thoughts!😊

What you really want to look for is the one called LOVE'S LEMON and it plays a song by Donovan called Wear Your Love Like Heaven . You'll like it plus it might crack you up but that was a great memory for me and great products because I was 12 back then and got the Love's lemon for Christmas . And I really enjoyed reminiscing and leaving messages with people on that channel today it's the bluenazz channel and it's from at least maybe 11 years ago but the original ad they show is from 1970

Anything before Reagan.

Yep I was born in 1958 and I remember all that as if it only happened a couple years ago .

I was nine and I'd love to go back to the 60s and '70s before everything got weirder and weirder and weirder with each successive decade

I was 5.

I remember that commercial with Jimmy Durante shrinking. I never forgotten it.

Yeah I know what you mean. I was well into my twenties before I ever saw The Flintstones in colour

@@barndancer6149 👍

Yeah I don't think we had a color TV in my house until around 1977 , when I was 19 !

We didn't have a color TV until 1983, when I was 24! A year later I was out of the house. The first TV I owned was actually a tiny B&W one my parents weren't using anymore. I think it had a 13" screen. They were happy to give it to me, and I was thrilled not only have my own apartment, but my own TV. @@gardensofthegods

I remember that from back in the day because my older sister had that

I really miss the Yardley products and I was just a kid during the 1960s but had older sisters and I remember some of those ads

@@gardensofthegods Same here. I was only 11 in 1967, too young to wear makeup. My older sister was 14 and had Slicker lip polish in a mod light color. I thought she and her friends were so cool!

@@smilinmoo I know what you mean I was nine in 1967 ; I had the older sisters and the one in particular she really was big on the Yardley products and had all those the lip Slickers and the eye stuff and we had the OH de London ! cologne ... there was something really exciting about the makeup and the Fashions and everything coming from England back then when we were kids

That's what I came here for because I remember them so much because I was born in 1958 and my older sisters were buying the Yardley products

I remember that from when I was a kid but I was really here for the Yardley commercials and I do remember some of them vaguely but some of them I definitely remember and I remember pretty much all the commercials especially the cereals and the monkeys and all that

Yes!!! And if you listen closely, the Clairol Midnight Sun tune is really catchy. In 1967 on a Top-40 radio station in St. Petersburg, Florida (WLCY) in the evenings, they would play the Clairol Midnight Sun radio commercial with that tune that had lyrics. I loved it and was surprised that it wasn't eventually recorded as a song like was done with "We've only just begun". The song in the Midnight Sun radio commercial was only partial, but it began with a short romantic-sounding intro and the lyrics began with "Come, come to me, take my hand, walk with me. Along the sand lets share our love, in the land of the Midnight Sun. I love the smile in your eyes and your hair, how it glows like the Midnight Sun".... Then the announcer speaks briefly about the product and the song then ends with "Let's share our love, in the land of the Midnight Sun..." and the announcer concludes by saying, "By Clairol". I have never forgotten that Midnight Sun radio commercial and I wonder if it exists anywhere as I would love to hear that particular radio commercial again. --- John

“Come to the land where blonde began”

This is a year I started my freshman year in high school. I also used midnight Sun loved the color

Here in America I do remember seeing it in some stores but I'm not sure I remember seeing it in advertising . But I remember the wonderful Yardley models and my older sisters had the products .

i wished that i would have remember seeing more of the products in the sponsor's box at the bottom left during the closing credits! Now, i remember when Procter and Gamble was big enough to where the announcer would say this portion/ the first half of (insert the name of almost any show in the 60s- early 90s) was sponsored/brought to you by(choose any brand from P&G.. Scope, Pampers, Ivory Liquid, Tide, Safeguard, Jif, et al)😊.

That's because Procter & Gamble was their primary sponsor.

Announcer states name of the show followed by “brought to you by…”. I remember it well from that era. I was born in 1955.

Won't happen since now the networks compress the credits of a show for the sake of inserting more aggravating commercials.

And cut scenes to shove in additional commercials. We can only see the full length original run if we buy the dvds.

I was born in 1958 so when those Yardley ads were coming out I wanted to be a Yardley girl and so did my older sisters . They had some great products .

@@gardensofthegods Think that George Harrison's X, Patti Boyd.

@@deniseg812 Oh my God yes ... my sister even had a picture of Pattie Boyd on the back of our bedroom door with George Harrison and I wanted so much to look like her ... I had wavy light black hair and would have loved to have had her hair believe me . Back then in 1967 we didn't have a blow dryer and one of those round brushes to dry your hair and make it straight . We didn't even know about using these massive curlers to set our hair to make it straight until maybe more like 1971 , 72 in my household . And we used to have the Yardley products and the Yardley Oh de London ! cologne .

@@deniseg812 Have you ever read Pattie Boyd's autobiography ? I enjoyed it but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be because sometimes she would be talking about something ... assuming we knew where or what it was and it would turn out to be some place in England and I would have to Google it to find out what she was really talking about ... for example a club or restaurant . She also talks about how cold and neglectful George could be towards her and that made me so sad . And she also goes into how George and Eric Clapton were such close friends and then Eric started letting her know he wanted her . She also spoke about how her marriage to Eric turned how to be so horrible . What he did to her , the way she fled and I don't think she hardly got anything in a divorce settlement ... it was sad the way he really screwed her over . And shortly after that I read Eric Clapton's autobiography and it was shocking the way either in that book or somewhere else he said he never really loved her ... that he wanted her , he wanted to possess her ... something like that . It was really a shame for the woman ... at least three songs maybe four or five written about her between those two men and then the way they ended up treating her .

Ross I was born in 1958 and I remember all these commercials but the best ones believe me as a little girl back in those days the best ones were the Yardley ones

@yoshitoshi98 And I’ve paid an embarrassing amount on eBay for the Yardley Slickers I couldn’t afford as an adolescent! Just those striped cases make me melt!!

LeslieGMN Paid a lot for a recreated Oh! de London. Didn’t smell anything like it.

@yoshitoshi98 I’m so sorry! I’ve heard that the “new” Oh! de London doesn’t smell anything like the original. Unfortunately it’s not like Slicker-I just received a (fifty-year-old!) Slicker that still smells right and soft enough to use. Some sellers advise buyers not to use these vintage products, but fortunately they haven’t killed me yet...

Yes, they are so cute!

@@yoshitoshi98 I found this surrendertochance.com/retro-yardley-oh-de-london-cologne/ It's supposed to be just like the original.

Margo in 1966 I was 8 but I had older sisters and I remember most of those products being in the house but I do remember having a few of them when I got a little older or getting the cast off from my sisters . They had the coolest products and do you remember LOVES LEMON ? We also had the Oh ! de London cologne ... yes we had the soaps . I missed the 60s and the 70s so much

I had the Yardley slickers, and my sisters had the Oh! De London fragrance. So fab! And of course, Twiggy was the model of the century (to us).

It was a great time to be a kid believe me despite the Vietnam War and the war protests and the assassinations it was still a great time to be a kid

​@@gardensofthegods So I've heard from late Boomers like you. 🙂

@@dariowiter3078 Yeah , I believe it was ... we had great music and a lot more freedom . Seems to me around where I lived they didn't start with the curfew until I was around 18 . But it just seemed back then as a teenager you didn't really have to worry about getting stopped by the cops things like that as much back then... well at least not where I grew up in a suburb of Philly but it was not a rich neighborhood it was a lot of row homes ... what some call townhouses .

@@dariowiter3078 I was born in '58 , and so yeah the economy was really great in this country after World War II in the late forties but especially in the 1950s this country had an incredible economy . Still good in the 60s , so jobs were really easy to find and you didn't have to go through the nightmare they've been making people go through to get jobs . Mortgages were cheap , a lot of regular jobs included really good benefits : we had 7 kids and we were covered by really good Blue Cross and Blue Shield plus the dental plan . Cars were pretty cheap and no nonsense , gas was cheap . Good quality real clothing made out of wool and 100% cotton and well-made was cheap compared to the crap people buy today in a lot of its synthetic . But wow ! ... incredible how cheap food and paper products like paper towels and napkins , toilet paper and all that were . You never heard people back then say it was expensive to live in America .

@@dariowiter3078 Then there was the oil embargo in the early 70's ... people waiting in real long lines for gas . Then something with the jobs started to change by around '75 , '76,, '77 ... suddenly a store a major corporation would claim bankruptcy and its employees who have been there for a long time would be screwed out of what was owed to them ... can you find out later another company with a different name was that same company after it regrouped and had screwed over its hard-working loyal employees ... a lot of them who were going to get a pension of course lost those . And then even though we were getting cheaper electronics ( lot of electronics were still more expensive back then including color TVs especially in the 50s and 60s ) and cars coming from Japan ... I already knew a little bit about International Trade even though I was just a kid and knew that if we're importing a real lot of these things from another country there's going to be a shift , things are going to change and they did and then also in the 70s a lot of companies up in the north left and went to the South and they called the north the Rust Belt and then a lot of those industries that were in the south later move to Mexico ... and then we started doing a lot of our manufacturing overseas ... Once that happened in the corporations became greedier just seems like everything changed . I remember looking at jobs in the papers 1991 , 92 and 93 ... I'm seeing so many jobs for being a risk assessment attorney or working with risk assessment where suddenly it was a new field where they're trying to convince bosses and companies and everybody of all the reasons other people can be a liability to you and get you sued . And then came the at will jobs ... you'd go to fill out an application on first you'd have to sign this at will form that basically told you you had no rights and F you if you don't like it don't work here but that they can fire you anytime they want for no reason and without an explanation ... I remember walking away from those jobs and not finishing the application and just tearing it up and throwing it out . This country has been destroyed by corporate greed and too much government where we don't need it and not enough where we do . When I was a teenager and again when I was 25 years old my dad who had fought in World War II said he had a lot more freedom than we did when he was our age . I noticed the same thing with my son that his generation had less freedom than when I was his age . Also in the 90s is when they started with the asset seizure laws and suddenly SWAT teams being able to bust into your home and being allowed to destroy your property and even if they went to the wrong house they don't have to pay for any repairs . We have been losing our freedoms and struggling with more and more greed and having less and less unless you just want to get yourself into debt . I'm sorry for that whole long history lesson and I don't know if you'll read it all but I just can't stand the way everything has changed it almost feels like an alternate universe

They bring back memories but I especially like the Yardley ones and that's what I was here for

Not adorable for metabolic health LOL.

bethrogers,. I believe Mickey Dolenz is single now. Go for it.

They never do....

And some--most notably three of the Monkees (Davy, Mike, and Peter)--are no longer with us 😢

Back in the 1960s we had the OH! de London but the and I have a vague recollection of the lavender . We also had the wonderful products LOVES LEMON ... there was a wonderful commercial in 1970 and it's still here just look up LOVE'S LEMON . You will hear the song by Donovan singing WEAR YOUR LOVE LIKE HEAVEN .

Just dandruff in Victor Mature's hair. 😎

Generation Jones just got lucky; they came into the workforce amid high inflation and perhaps a recession, but road the wave of the '80s/'90s booms nicely. Sadly, younger generations take the "if you can remember the '60s, you weren't there!" motto too seriously only view the good stuff and don't take the stuff they learned in school too importantly.

Girls and women had to apply for ads under the Help Wanted: Female section of the newspaper, and most jobs were closed to them. Apply to law school? Med school? Forget it. Want a charge card? Get your husband's permission first. Of course, men had it terrible as well, with the Viet Nam War....where most enlistees were age 19. And they were the poorer young men, men of color. If you were a rich boy in college, you had a draft deferment. These ads are fun to look back on, but the lifestyle they're pitching is only an illusion.

Let’s all go to A and W! Foods more fun at A and W! We’ll have a mug of root beer! Maybe 2 or 3. Foods more fun with hospitality!

Excellent catch!

Betterworld, He was "one in a million!"

Yes no homeless people taking over Los Angeles and San Francisco .

These ads are extremely misleading.

​@@patricias5122Aren't most ads misleading?

Some

I think all of them were on NBC which is USA. Yardley products were very popular back then in America.

You are kidding yourself, if you think women had it easier back in those days. Please don't feel life today is worthless. These are ads, The ad agencies spent a fortune to sell you an illusion.

@@patricias5122 Again, I was FOUR YEARS OLD in 1967. If you really feel the need to retroactively bitchslap that little kid for believing in the Easter bunny, Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and Folger’s Coffee Mrs. Olson then knock yourself out. My level of disillusion in adulthood isn’t worth discussing here, just like your copping the mantle of victimhood. I’ve never raised my hand to a woman or been unfaithful to my wife, don’t drink/smoke/gamble or do drugs though she’d tell - you just like I will- that I’m impatient & grumpy AF after a 60hr workweek. GUILTY AS CHARGED. Happy now?

I wonder if thats why my dad likes sugar so much he’s 56 you should see how much brown sugar he puts in his oatmeal! Its strange he’s not a diabetic.

Yep! And there were cigarette ads galore....
