I remember my Grandmother shopping around for the best price one day in '69-'70 and she asked me to keep track of the prices so she could concentrate on driving. I remember the average being around 38¢ to 40¢ per gallon, and she found one on a road leading out of town that had a gallon of ethyl at 36¢ People don't believe me when I tell them that.

I love that Sharp calculator, big as a brick and it only cost $345 (over $2000 in today's dollars). And just to show how modern it was, there's a guy using it as he talks to someone on a pay phone. I love that guy on the TWA ad barking out all the advantages of flying TWA, the message seems to be, "Fly TWA or I'm gonna come and kick your ass."

True, yet the first and third commercials advertise two products that contain substances that have become the bane of modern-day diets. Refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup, empty carbs, etc have contributed to the obesity epidemic we now face-granted it’s not the only factor. Imagine what we’d look like if we didn’t consume this crap for the last 50 years? (Again, I realize it’s not the only contributing factor.) As for myself, I quit consuming this garbage, started focusing on healthy eating, and focused on portion control. I also exercise 4-5 times a week-weight training, calisthenics, yoga, swimming, cycling, and HIIT cardio. In the last 16 months, I’ve lost almost 50 lbs, greatly cut body fat percentage, and increased muscle mass and strength. All at 47 years old. Insofar as hair color... well, that’s a whole other issue... actually, non-issue. 😆 Choose wisely ‘Merica!
