The thing about growing up in the 1970's was, you got to grow up in your own little world, instead of the whole world at one time.

In the fall, people used to burn leaves in those galvanized trash cans. I loved that smell, signaling the autumn season and the cool nights. Something rich, natural and comforting about it 🍂🍁🍁 I have always missed that part of the autumn ritual, since many towns instituted ordinances making it illegal to burn leaves. "How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?" My 2 brothers loved Hawaiian punch and that red stain "mustache" it left always made us laugh! We had free standing milk machines in our town. When stores were closed, you could get a carton of milk from the vending machine. We also went around collecting tossed away glass soda bottles that gave a nickel or so for each bottle upon return to a grocery store. I wouldn't call my brother's and my childhood idyllic, but I do recall it feeling safe and secure, with a sense of belonging. We knew all our neighbors and they knew us. These videos are fun to watch! Thank you.

Then it was off to the basement to watch TV and give the grown-ups their privacy. Great memories!

I remember being a gas station attendant as living in New Jersey in the 1970s you are not allowed, and to this day pump your own gas. I pulled down many license plates only to find that they did not retract very well because the spring would rot. Another problem was that the gas fill was usually level so if you didn’t have your gas cap on tied enough, as the vehicle left the lot, you could see gas spilling out from underneath the bumper. By the way, the cheapest gas that I remember growing up was seeing regular for about $.32 a gallon. This was back prior to the 1973 oil embargo.

Re; The Ty-D-Bowl ma: The thing I remember the most about him was the parody that was done by Carol Burnett on her show. She flushed the toilet after seeing him. PS it's always nice to see one of these videos that wasn't created by AI version 1.0.

I'm 78 (born in 1946) and still trucking. I've severed in 2 wars, spent 20 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and 30 as a Calif. police officer but I'm "upright and dressed"...so I can't complain. I sure wouldn't trade places with kids today.

Battle of the Network Stars, when Bruce Jenner was still a man !! I once babysat his kids. Hawaiian Punch, went very well with Oreos. A staple of every school day party we had in class on special occasions, and at home. I had one of those "The Farmer Says" wheels when I was little, there were a few along those lines. I once looked for bags of marbles, do you know how EXPENSIVE they are today, that's if you can find them, usually on Ebay. Yup we had the ubiquitous candy bowl, and we used to buy those big tins of Candy for the Holidays. I remember the MASH finale. I was in High School in 1983, my Grade 11 year.

I really enjoy your video's. It brings back a more simpler time in life. I remember a lot of those things in this video. Hawaiian punch is one of them. I remember those two little guys in the commercials. It's like a breath of fresh air when i see your video's. So much has changed sense then, some for good and others not so much. Thank you for taking the time to bring about some old memories that I had long forgot until you woke them up. Have a great weekend 😀. Peace 🙏

I never heard of the beanbag ashtrays, but then again my parents never smoked. My mom never let us have Hawaiian Punch. But when Juicy Juice came out, she bought that for us, and it was in the same big tin cans. We've never pumped our own gas here in New Jersey, at least not in my lifetime. But I know that a lot of cars had the gas filler behind the license plate.

Okay, now you're making me hungry with the candy memories! My grandmother loved bridge mix. But she kept all kinds of other great candy as well. She kept the candy collection in an old green metal cabinet. I distinctly remember walking to her cabinet and opening the door, mouth watering, just waiting to gobble up all of those delectable treasures. Thanks for the memories even if it puts me at risk of gaining a pound or two! 😄

For a real trip down memory lane, Google "Old timey candy." You can still get BB Batts, those strips of paper with the colored sugar dots on them and even wax lips...although the wax doesn't taste the way it used to.

That big circle for the marbles - my sister and I would draw one with our fingers in my grandma's plush living room rug, fill it with marbles and then shoot into it to get as many as we could out. We'd play so long our right thumbs had calloused cuticles! Remember the little ones we called "peewee", but what were the large ones called? Also, on Sunday mornings you could spread the funny papers out on the floor and follow along as they were read on the radio.
