1965: Our Lives Through Commercials (Part 1)

[@jbaker7311]

These commercials sure evoke memories of a more laid back time. I know the kids my age miss that too. Life was so much more simple. My brother had a paper route and bought the Polaroid Swinger. It was really 'high tech' for the time and awe inspiring. Thank you FredFlix for taking us back to the days of our childhood.

[@FredFlix]

You're welcome, J Baker.

[@matrox]

Yeh...I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. The first time I saw the Mustang in person was on display at the NY Worlds Fair. Yeh America was much more laid back, Nowhere near the sh!thole America has become now.

[@frankreynolds445]

The person born in 1900 would beg to differ. To him the most high tech thing was the telegram and the phone you have to crank before you can use it. As for those who think today is so complicated the people of the 2080s will be laughing at those who lived in the 2020s Those old fashion bulky V Reality head wear, primitive computers that have the buffering crap. Streaming channels that take a minute or more to load. Everyone seems to hate some one for a million and one reasons.

[@jbaker7311]

@@frankreynolds445 Obviously every generation has seen advancements and technology just as we do now. Someone born in 1900 did not have the ability to see the future any more than we can. Everything they experienced was their reality in real time and nothing more. Furthermore, every generation has it's own set of complications and life struggles. Your post has a bitter sounding edge. Maybe you misinterpreted mine. I was sharing my memories and how much I appreciate FredFix and the effort he puts into making these videos for us to enjoy. Stay positive,

[@brianarbenz1329]

Before using a blanket description of “more laid back” for 1965, consider the Vietnam War and the draft, riots, rising drug abuse - and realize that victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault had no place to turn. I understand a person’s warm feelings from their own memories. But the whole time was not more laid back.

Was 9 yrs old in 1965 and remember almost all of these commercials! The one for Oscar Mayer I always thought was so funny back then when the kid sang "If I were a Oscar Meyer weiner their would soon be nothing left of me!". Great memories. Thanks Fred.

I was 15 in 1965. When the commercial came on with the grimy guy testing the firearm with grease all over his hands, immediately I yelled out “Lava soap”! Ha ha! I’d forgotten about it, but we ALWAYS had a bar of Lava by our kitchen sink. Very enjoyable video, Fred. Thanks!

[@mrs.g.9816]

After my older sister started an after-school job, she saved up and got a Polaroid Swinger. And she took it with her whenever she went out with her friends, just like in the commercial. I liked the music from a lot of commercials like "Let Hertz put you in the driver's seat" and the Marlboro commercials. If only I can turn on the TV and get only shows and commercials from the late 50s and all of the 60s. Thanks for another trip back to my childhood!

I was born late into my family, my sister was 17 years older than me and my brother 10 years older. I don't know a whole lot about my family, but it's been not only great & fun watching commercials my parents watched, but soothing.

My sister and I with many other classmates were in a Camero commercial in 1965. It was in a Chinatown school in San Francisco. The commercial play during Bewitch and Bonanza. I wish we could find it. The money paid for a washing machine. We were so grateful. It was hard washing clothes for 8 by hand.

[@marilyn6556]

I was 7 in 1965. I remember most of these commercials! My older sisters sewed clothes for me and my Barbie, and I remember the Simplicity commercial. I remember the Oscar Meyer wiener commercials, and they tasted better back then! The Coke commercial song I recognized immediately! My mother had a gas stove that leaked after she cleaned it. She would tell us all to go outside and Public Service fixed it. I was terrified that the house was going to blow up. I never had a gas stove until my husband, who enjoys cooking, bought one a few years ago. I told him that I wasn’t going to touch it, and I still haven’t. I hate them!😂

I'm still amazed at this Poloroid Swinger commercial.

So, your channel is a truly valuable resource for us, and we thank you for providing this footage!

1:10 I remember those Polaroid backing strips used to be all over the place after a graduation, or even sometimes at a wedding. People would just toss them on the ground until the SX-70 came out in 1975 with the rollers that pulled the photo away from the backing before it left the cartridge, so all the backings ended up getting thrown away with the empty cartridge. Of course, if you were a real slob, there was always the option of tossing the cartridge on the ground.

I bought a Polaroid Swinger camera back in '65 or '66. I loved it, although the photos sometimes had problems. Plus, you had to use a stinky costing solution on the prints afterwards and it was hard to get a smooth finish. I still have a few of those photos. Wallet-sized. Fairly decent image quality. I also liked the jingle "Meet the Swinger". The arrangement style reminds me of the early Up With People songs, which I performed with (on electric guitar) in freshman year in high school, 68-69.

Born the very end of that year. I wish pop was still only in glass bottles instead of plastic. I remember helping my mom bring the cartons filled with empty glass bottles back to the grocery store for recycling. We all recycled long before it was political to do so.

Everything tasted better in glass. If you call it "pop" you must have grown up west of the Susquehanna.
