I was born in Dec of 1965. Sadly my dad passed away 2 months & 2 days before my 3rd birthday and my mom passed 1 month 1 day before my 9th birthday after being increasingly sick for at least 4 years. 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. I imagine my mom and dad sitting down after dinner watching TV & my mom putting her feet up especially as it got closer to my birth, seeing these commercials and talking about the products, thank you.

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.

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.

Barry Manilow sang that Polaroid Swinger jingle. He didn't write it, so it wasn't part of his jingles medley he used to do in his stage show. I'm not sure, but the backing vocalists sound like the women who sang on Paul Evans' "Seven Little Girls (Sitting in the Back Seat)", or maybe Trudy Packer, who did the "1-2-3-4, stick around, we'll tell you more" on Brian Hyland's "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie...etc".

I sure do miss those old commercials for soda. . Has anyone but me noticed lately that a great majority of TV commercials these days feature a dog - regardless of whether or not the product being advertised has anything to do with dogs? From cleaning products to insurance and everything in between. It's become a cliche. What's even worse are commercials for prescription drugs showing people walking around in garish work-out clothing having conversations about their health problems - and of course at least one of them is walking a dog. Particularly offensive are the ones that show overweight bald guy strolling around carrying a clipboard and high fiving everyone he meets along the way for no discernible reason whatsoever?

I was 3 years old for most of 1965, having been born at the tail end of 1961. I don't remember seeing these exact commercials, as I would have been much too young. We always had a t.v. in our house, but we didn't get a colour set until 1977. Of course, some of the products are so well-known; Coca-Cola, Oscar Meyer Wieners, One-A-Day vitamins (advertised with Fred Flintstone, and Barney Rubble) before Flintstones chewables vitamins. I have to say that hearing the phrase "retarded children" was very jarring. So hurtful and insensitive to hear now, almost 60 years later. Thank goodness we have progressed to saying "special needs" children now. A much more positive phrase. When I was growing up, being called retarded was a really cruel put-down, to use the terminology of the day. I was waiting for commercials for the Playtex 18-hour bra, Slinky toys, Etch-a-sketch, laundry detergent that was "stronger than dirt", etc. I always wondered what happened in the 19th hour of that bra. Did it self-destruct, like the audio tapes from 'Mission Impossible'? That would have been a really mind-blowing commercial!! Peace out.

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. Those were great years.
