Hula Hoops, the Slinky toy, Play Dough, railroad train sets, Twister, go-cart tracks, putt-putt type courses, water wet slides, model airplanes you flew in circles, kits of all types, Mr. Potato Head, & slot cars were very popular then. What a wonderful time to live back then. 😀😀😀😀

Major Matt Mason. My son loved them 38 years later

The 5 cent coupon brought back memories. Nowadays, if you offered a 5 cent coupon, no one would bother to redeem it.

The Corvair was ahead of it’s time. Later on the car was proven to be no longer dangerous.

Best friend from HS got an old Corvair for graduation. It was a lemon 🍋

My uncle, was so excited when he bought his Corvair. Five months later it stopped running in the middle of driving down the highway going to work and had a very bad accident. He sued the manufacturing company and they settled out of court. To this day we don't know why he settled by that time people were aware it was a lemon. 🍋

Those vegetable Jello flavors never made it to Washington state when I was a teenager in the 1960s. Jello was a staple in our home, but only in sweet varieties.

Speaking of dolls I loved Chatty Cathy, Little Kiddles, and Tubsey. Although I really loved Little Kiddles. I must have had 50 of them. And every little girl wanted Malibu Barbie. I was too old for them, but I really wished I had a Big Wheel. I had a Shoop shoop hula hoop, bike with a banana seat and sissy bar. Hot wheels. How can we forget a 64 and a half Mustang? That was my dream car. Tables and chairs made out of barrels. So much....

I learned how to use computers in high school (74-77), then again in the mid 80s and finally again in 2000, each time it was a totally different format, the last being Windows.

In the 60’s, I had Barbies, a Nancy Nurse doll and troll dolls, too.

Funny thing about celery Jell-O! My mom had a box of it in the cupboard and hadn't yet used it in the 70s. At the same time it had become a recent fad in grade school for kids to bring little boxes of Jell-O to school and dip & eat it with your fingers like a Pixie Stick! I wanted to be different and bring in that celery Jell-O but my sister and her snooty friend hijacked that plan and because she was in seventh grade home ec they decided to make an actual salad from it we were all stuck eating instead! Haha!

Ding Dong ( doorbell) AVON calling 👍

Mr. Rogers could be today's superhero, we need him today. The 60s were awesome and are missed by me. I was born in 1961, a great time to be born in for a kid.

Fizzies were around in the 50's, much earlier than this video states.

Loved his demeanor. 💓 My granddaughter LOVED the Daniel Tiger cartoons!!! 😊 Chuckle- never heard of celery flavored Jello! 😂 Never heard of Goody Two Shoes- I had Chatty Cathy!

Jello is sometimes paired with real celery but not in the same package. My mom often paired jello with whipped cream, cottage cheese and some fruit cocktail and made a nice dessert salad.

Fizzies were tablets that turned water into a fruity beverage. They were banned in the 70's due to them containing a toxic substance, Cyclamates.

Back in the 1960s, before I was even born, my mother bought a box of celery Jello just because she thought it was so weird. Anyway, I have it in my cupboard right now. I keep it with my other boxes of Jell-O. It's a joke in our family that we can never get rid of it, and I'm the one who happens to have it.😂

Avon made a deodorant that was supposed to repel mosquitoes. It actually worked!

I loved Fizzies when I was a kid in the 60's, it brings back sweet memories.

Oh, how I remember Fizzies. I got banned from our local swimming pool one Summer for opening two grape Fizzies packets at the bottom of the diving pool. I thought the resulting purple cloud 12 feet down was pretty cool. The Lifeguard didn't. Ah, what fun the 60's were.🤪😜👍😊💞

It would be great if "Fizzies" made a come back.

Only if someone reformulated them for the flavor to last longer & to use a natural sugar substitute like Stevia. ⚗️

I remember the smell of Play Dough to this day!!

Back then they put meals in Jello, lol. I had a few dishes at a birthday party, my 4th I believe. Back in 1965, wow.

Dippity-Do -- a gooey gel in a jar you spread over your hair before you put it in curlers. Nothing worked better!

Hmmm the 8" floppy disk debuted in 1971 and that's hard facts from IBM

Chatty Cathy was a big thing in the early 1969s. You pulled a string behind her neck and she would say a recorded phrase. Barbie also debuted in early 1960s. Ideal Toys came out with their own version called, Tammy, but it soon disappeared. Along with Barbie came Ken, Midge, her best friend, Midge's boyfriend, Alan, Skipper, Barbie's little sister, and Francie, Barbie's hip teenaged cousin who wore mods. If you didn't have the entire collection it was okay. One of your friends had whatever doll you were missing. My mother tried Jello salad. It was nasty. She only bought it once.

Oh my gosh! Fizzies! My grandma used to buy Fizzies for my sisters and me to drink when we would visit her house. They tasted terrible!

Great look back. BUT, Fizzies? For the most part all of those flavors were NASTY!!!😂😂😂😂but we put up with it to be trendy!!

We had a version of celery jello it was called congealed salad and it was a big thing in the south.

The narrator's voice sounds so much like Patton Oswald, three times I accidentally caught myself thinking I was listening to his voice

S&H green stamps. I used to stick books of those things for my Mom so I could get a Tonka truck or a set of cap pistols. My tongue would be stuck to the roof of my mouth but my brother and I stuck those stamps. Years later I saw a woman using a sponge to wet stamps. I looked at her with disgust. I considered her a cheater. Okay, I was jealous and more than a little resentful that Mom didn't give me a sponge but after I had kids of my own I understood. It was a way to shut me up.

Your voice reminds me of the guy that does Sidetrack Adventures

My mom used to wear Avon Somewhere perfume, I didn't like the smell.

From Mr. Rogers then to Drag Queen Story Hour now! How far we've fallen!

I loved the Boliva Accutron spaceview Watch which was at the Seattle 1962 Worlds Fair, it was a "tuning fork" design. You could hear it humming (the tuning fork at 360HZ) if you put it next to your ear. Here is a video on it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Ypylqdlrh5uTeM4.html

Love your video's I would like to now what the piano music that is playing thanks.
