Gen Z here and writing a book set in the 60s, videos like these are so interesting and the comments are really helpful. Despite the cons it seems like a really fun time to grow up in!

good thing its sugar sparkled. its what kids need😂

This is why our country has an obesity crisis. Packaged breakfast cereal is so bad for you. :(

Oh gosh... I remember Alpha-bits! We never bought them. Mom thought they were too expensive, and just fed us oatmeal instead. :)

Remember "Whip n Chill"? 😮

I remember these! And that pink dial soap bar These years as a kid growing up in Shaker hts Ohio Were the best

Love how many people are blaming anything but themselves.

No wonder we're all dying from cancer. Processed food has very little nutrition and it's loaded with cancer causing ingredient.

I remember that decade when you could broadcast and get away with worrying about who might get offended? today there are too many restrictions.

Simoniz Floor Wax. For that "oily garage" smell. 😵

Rybutol is "Snake Oil". 🐍

Ah prehistoric marketing campaigns. So Neanderthal.

We never had the sugar cereals growing up. We had 7 kids in our family. We couldn’t afford it. But they were loaded with sugar

All you have to do is watch an episode of the price is right from the 70s, then watch one from today. It’s unbelievable how fat the people are now, compared to then.

When you're aware now that we were and are being poisoned today, why are you still eating this death food?

Fresh from the sea....fresh again.😅

Looks much more like the 1970’s.

Women getting squirted in the face was 100% sexual , those sly devils lol!

WHY OBESITY RATES HAVE TRIPLED IN THE U.S. SINCE THE ‘70’S: I have been alive 58 1/2 years. Here’s a news flash! We do NOT eat the same stuff overall that we did 60 years ago. Back then meals were home made and fast food was the exception on a special day. Same goes for soda - a special treat. Thirsty when outside playing? Drink water out of the garden hose! Mom worked but also made time to bake homemade chocolate chip cookies or peanut butter cookies. Brownies NEVER came out of a box. Even hot chocolate was made with Hershey Cocoa Powder, sugar and milk on top of the stove. If we had leftover rice from dinner she would make my Grandmas Rice Pudding for dessert (sounds gross but was actually an amazing recipe from the depression.) We ate leftovers to save food costs. We didn’t have pizza delivered EVER or frozen meals from the store. Food delivery to our houses in L.A. and San Diego County was NOT a thing back then for us. Dinners were homemade 99% of the time. NO microwave ovens! You want something defrosted? Run it under cold water until it thaws! LIMITED convenience foods! NO ‘Poppin Fresh’ biscuits! You want biscuits - make them YOURSELF! 🤣 We usually sat down for dinner together as a family at 6:00 P.M. and drank milk for the beverage. FORGET the endless snacking! Rummaging in the cupboard before dinner? Mom would say, “Supper is ALMOST ready.” & kick you out of the kitchen. 😱 Dinner was meat, vegetables and maybe potatoes or biscuits. Lunch was usually a sandwich with a nickel in the bottom of the paper sack for milk at school and always included fresh fruit. If we wanted a snack - Putting REAL peanut butter on crackers or having fresh fruit was what we did. Highly processed foods were VERY minimal. SNACKS: Oranges, cantaloupe, peaches, etc. Fresh, homemade cookies if you were lucky. Once upon a time if you got a Coke at a gas station - the bottle was SMALL. No Super Size of ANYTHING. Even McDonald’s used to serve really small sodas. A look around your local ‘gas’ station now will clue us into how it’s SO easy to be overweight or obese these days. Like soldiers in a losing battle - we are SURROUNDED by the enemy. Worse - bad food is so commonplace now we don’t even QUESTION it. Eating badly has become normalized. When I was in school in the ‘70’s I only remember ONE heavyset kid in the WHOLE school named David. The kids on my block played outside until dark. Lack of video games kept us more active & face to face interaction was rewarding. We CAN change how we eat and move our body now but there is NO doubt we are swimming upstream in the current culture. How we eat & live now has drastically changed in the last 60 years. This partly explains why obesity rates have TRIPLED since the 1970s. We CAN change. We don’t have to live overweight, obese and miserable for the rest of our lives. I’m post menopausal and lost 44 lbs. and kept it off for 2 years - without weight loss drugs. My Doctor prescribed Ozempic but my R.N. best friend advised against it. I did research and 40% of muscle mass is LOST on this drug. Therefore you lose weight but 40% of it is muscle and your metabolism slows down even more. Sometimes the old fashioned way is better. Simple eating that focuses on protein and limiting processed foods / sugars / carbs. And walking. This is how I lost it and continue to manage it over time. Signed, Born in 1966

Izzat you June Lockhart 8:08 ??

These women would be called fat for a model in todays world

Geritol. My mom had it in the medicine cabinet. Thanks for the nostalgic video. Where did the time go?

Wow, we ate a lot of, what? I also remember a product called 'Shake a Pudding.' You didn't have to cook it, you just added the milk and shook it up for a minute. Voila! Ready made pudding. And we had all the delicious tasting sugary cereals. I remember some of these commercials. The only thing that helped us is that we played outdoors and were active in the fresh air so there wasn't much obesity back then like it is now. Thanks for the memories. I didn't realize how much sugary and or processed food we ate then. Less cooking for my mom though. My dad would cook more healthy fare on the weekends for breakfast and sometime dinner. Nostalgic video. Where did the time go?

Super

0:30 I may be wrong, but isn't that a young Beverly D'Angelo (Vacation) on the left?

2024: Mother (single mother because daddy ran off to Florida to be with his secretary) and children eat in front of the tv while scrolling through KZbin...taling bites here and there.

Such a Terrifying Commercial 😳 this sadly wouldn't be allowed now.

This was so much better than the Vic 20.

Cool n' creamy pudding was so good.

My G Ma said cereal tasted like cardboard.😂

Now every time a commercial is on there instead of White person on them 98% of the time it's a black. Why is that? Not all products are made for black people. They are 13% of the population but they are on almost every commercial on TV. Incredible. And sad.

The stupid commercials of today...pshaw

Born 1960 it brings me back, there's a lot more choices now, and frozen food has become pretty good, back then it was horrible.

Corn, cereal and garbage. No different than today.

I loved this

The Stunt is preformed Sensationaly......but something has gone wrong......😅

Grape Nuts made dentists wealthy across the USA. They can soak in milk for an hour and still like eating gravel.

So much diversity in these commercials

Margarine yuk, hydrogenated seed / veg oil [not veg at all corn is a grain soy, beans, both gmo No thanks, real butter or nothing. They pushed a lot of cereal but still they were a wee bit, better then than now, since 1997 gmo & HFCS Simply carbohyrdrates as breakfast made from corn or oats dissected with glyphosate are also loaded with the same.. Is it any wonder obesity, type 2 diabetes, dementia are all up up and away.

Now everybody’s morbidly obese.

With the exception of personal tweaks to account for genetics/blood type, etc., scientist dictates EXACTLY what all animals ( including humans), need to function optimally. Everything else is just for taste and/or sales. It’s wild that our diet changes based on technology/business/marketing. The food we need grows. It’s fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish. Meat isn’t even a necessity. Our food shouldn’t be manufactured in a lab, processed, or synthesized. It’s such a shame that as a society, we know what’s best and we are able to eat the EXACT things that promote optimal health, but those in charge of controlling our food supply CHOOSE to sell us illness-inducing, toxic, less-than optimal, synthetic factory garbage.

And today there's an obesity issue..like never before. Take care, keep your guard up, read the label, buy fresh and cook...God bless.

Peter Graves had an amazing and varied career. "Mission Impossible" on MeTV is fresher and more watchable than most dramatic crime shows being made now like the non-stop iterations of "CSI".

And I thought the English one was bad [Monolith]

Your all fried . All 4 of you fried. Yummy😋

FLASH! 60 years ago we ate the same stuff pretty much that we eat today. I think the big difference I remember is that EGGO Waffles were square and not round.

Nice never seen this footage before. My favorite film ever!

Wow, they really relied heavily on directly telling the kids to buy their products. I suppose they were all fully aware of the infamous grocery store tantrum, and had zero qualms about leveraging it.

It looked like she was about to yack those alphabet cereal lol
