Slap bracelets were more '90s if i remember right. About the same time as the Pogs thing 😊 Edit: and i HATED jelly shoes. Turns out im allergy to latex. I womde why i didn't want to wear those insults to style

Do I ever wish I could go back?! Every day! I would give anything to take my wife and grandchildren and go back to the 70s and do it all over again because the seventies and eighties were the best times ever!

I was 18 and in my twenties but they were great years I remember all of this!😊

Worked at Woolworth in the 80's in L.A.😂

Loved the Bell Beefer, but I also loved the Beef Burrito (no beans or rice). Wish McDonalds would still sell the Apple or Cheese Danish for breakfast. Back in the 70-80s KFC had a ham sandwich and the Bar-B-Q sauce for it was the best one I've had.

Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific was EVERYTHING the narrator claims. It smelled SO good! I used it as a teen in the '80s - even as late as 1986/1987. I miss it! I remember all of the things listed. One of the worst among them is the 8-track cassette. You could be vibing during a song and it would fade out and switch tracks and fade in where you left off. Ugh. To this day, I can't hear a specific song from "Jesus Christ Superstar" without pausing in that spot. It doesn't sound right to me when the song plays all the way through.

The person you credit for creating cabbage patch dolls stole that from the original creator and never gave credit

I was a kid during the 70’s but we had a white stove and fridge. We had gold carpets but not shag, a pinkish bathroom. But it was the best decade to grow up in.

I was born in 1973, so this sums up my childhood and early teen years

Some of the hairstyles were horrendous!

My dad bought me a Revelation single barrel 410 shotgun from western auto in about 1972. I hunted dove with it in north Florida for years. There was a store close to my house in Wauchula FL. I would stop by on my bike and they would air up my tires and oil my chain for nothing. Really nice store and nice folks working there

Being in my early 70s, I remember most of these retail giants. I was a Woolworth's employee when I was in high school. In downtown Rochester (NY), Sibley's was an annual visit during the Christmas season.

My mom let me where Jelly shoes to school in the middle of Winter.We had to wait out in the cold if we were to early to school.I remember freezing my butt off…

I wore jellys in the 80’s, and today I wear a sandal made by Crocs that are basically the same thing, only not transparent!

I remember most of these shows and have some of them featured on my channel. If you can get past the effects of the time, they are some really good shows...

They were a staple in the Midwest.

I'M A 63 Y.OLD MAN AND THIS WAS FASCINATING TO ME. MY DAD WOULD TAKE ME AND GET TOOLS AND PARTS FOR BROKEN APPLIANCES STOVES, WASHING MACHINES ECT. SEARS FILLED THE TOYS UNDER OUR CHRISTMAS TREE.

Xavier Roberts 100% STOLE the idea, backstory, and design of the Cabbage Patch dolls (originally marketed as Little People) from Martha Nelson Thomas. Roberts met her at a craft fair in Kentucky. Roberts traveled from state to state in the southeastern United States attending craft fairs and folk art exhibitions, buying up other artists' work and passing it off as his own. He asked Ms. Thomas to supply him with dolls to sell in Georgia, where he lived and worked. Thomas briefly let him sell her Doll Babies, but stopped when she found out he was passing the dolls off as his own creation. Roberts created his "own version" in 1978 (almost an exact copy of Thomas's), and Thomas filed her first suit against Roberts in 1979. By 1983, she was seeking $1 million in damages from Roberts. In 1984, the case was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. Not only did Roberts pass the dolls off as his own idea, but he CLAIMED to have sewn every one of them and to have personally signed each one when the truth turned out to be that he hired local seamstresses and the signature was a stamp. None of this came out until the court case, of course.

Voltron: Defender of the Universe (the one with the lions and "Form Blazing Sword"), and Battle of the Planets -- "Transmute!" on American Top 40.

That same music repeating over and over is maddening.

My friends and I never had or even heard of Snap Bracelets in the 80s. Back then, the big fads were woven friendship bracelets or the bendable Jelly Bangles, thin pvc bangles in every color of the rainbow, and the biggest trend with them was to interlace 2 of them so you had a different color on either side of your wrist. Thin etched aluminum bangles were the other big trend; you could get a set of 20 for just a couple of bucks, and they came in every color.

The guy yelling! Can't do that today!

Being from Florida… We pronounced it BurDINES… sounded like WINE… BurDINES… :) just throwing that out there from a 1980s childhood in Florida perspective.

Jelly shoes! Lol or getting your pinky toe caught. But the slimy sweat can stay in the 80's 😅

Sadly, Sears and Kmart can be added to this list now. While not a department store, Toys-R-Us is another staple of my childhood that is now gone. I remember numerous department stores in Southern California in the 1970s and 1980s that are now sadly gone. A couple are in this list, but so were Buffum's, Robinson's, May Company, Zody's, Gemco, Fedmart, Thriftimart, and probably a few others I don't remember at the moment. Sadly, lots of other specialty retailers have also gone the way of the dodo - Radio Shack, Circuit City, Good Guys, Federated (Electronics), Fry's Electronics, the Blue-Chip Stamp stores, numerous 5 & 10 stores, Builder's Emporium, numerous family-owned hardware stores, and so on...

How about affordable prices? They seem to have been discontinued too 😂

I remember the Western Auto from the 60's - the 80's

I didn't hear you mention Victory Markets or Great American , both in N.Y.

Your list of 80s fads brought back soooo many memories for me (born in 82) but there's so much more that needed to be added. Part 2 please 😊

I worked at Mervyn’s in the 1980s and they rocked back to school time and knew how to get a customer in the door. Owned by Dayton Hudson including Dayton’s, Hudson’s, Marshall Fields, Target and B. Dalton Books which was founded by Bruce Dayton from then Dayton Department store family. Open Open Open

I remember living in Evansville, In in the late 80's, when federal agents were transporting Pete Rose to federal prison in Terre Haute, and he wanted to stop by a McDonalds for a pizza, and they accomodated him. It made the local news back then.

The 1982 world's fair was in New Orleans. I know because I was there.

aquanet made made face sticky my face look like post it note board or my pen stick to my face lol

Shopped at the Fallston, MD store in the 80s and I loved it. I was really into cycling and bought a western flyer racing bike. It was fantastic. Very strong and only weighed 19lbs.

It depresses me to think what used to be around and no longer exists. It isn’t exciting to go out like it used to be 😢

I grew up in the 80’s. The best decade ever !! The hair scrunches are still around and I use them to pull my hair up.

I remember western auto along with another similar chain which i don't recall the name of but actually survived western auto by a number of years. They were all great stores.

I worked at McDonald's in the mid to late 90s. I remembered foundly of the Arch Deluxe Sandwich. It was very popular at the time. Especially overnights and weekends especially with bacon and oh yeah supersized.

I buy items from Montgomery Wards all the time. They still sell by catalog.

Worked as a mechanic for a while at Western Auto. We had everything from drills to freezers,

Had an uncle who had the hula girl, but she had huge boobies that he used to laugh when he pulled her top up 👆

I'm probably not the only kid who remembers having to wash their hair with Joy dish soap.

Several of these seemm more 70s to me. The big floral prints in particular.

I loved the 80s also

Mmmmm...grape Big League Chew...

True

I'm only in 30secs and already smiling thinking about my clear jellies. Looking forward to this.

Mood rings were more popular in the 1970s when they first came out. I don’t recall too many mood rings in the 1980s.

Can anyone describe the scent of that shampoo Gee your hair smells terrific? I was born in 71 and dont recall that shampoo. Thanks
