Things That Have Been Abandoned…1960s-1980s!

[@miked9959]

These videos are double edged for someone who lived through the years. On one hand there are good memories and reminders of our youth, on the other hand it makes you realize you are getting old and will never experience those memories again. I guess that's just part of getting older.

[@sonyafox3271]

My mom actually worked at the U.S. Shoe Factory that we had in our town, I actually would walk there as a young kid on days we didn’t have to go to school or in the summer and, hang out with mom and her friends and, with my mom’s supervision, I learned to do some the machines she used had used through the yrs, go down to shipping and, help my aunt that worked there and, have a conversation with her and, then, go see my cousins who worked there. My dad’s sister worked there, my cousin on my mom’s side and, her hubby who eventually drove for them. When, I was growing up in the 70s my grandma lived in small town Lawrenceburg, IN and, the next town over in Aurora which actually had a full service shoe store and, usually we would go on a Saturday when, it was time and, I remember going to a full service shoe store was a event and, course the people who ran and owned the store was family friends. Even though my mom could buy shoes through a catalog and, got a discount and, even though we got shoes that way to, we always still loved going to the shoe store. 26:56

[@DW3010]

I actually bought one online about 15 years ago just to relive those childhood memories. I used it once one night when we had a bunch of friends over and made a snowcone party out of it. It was a good time and we had some laughs about how long it takes to actually use the thing. I never used it again, but I do still have it in a closet.

[@joannamcpeak7531]

I had one as well 😊

[@sonyafox3271]

We had all those machines, how funny is this, there actually was one for just regular Kool- Aid to! My cousins had them and, we had them to, then, a few yrs later there was shrinky dinks and, Ice Bird, your such a nice bird lets have a ice bird treat. My brother got me a ice bird treat maker that Christmas they came out! Then, when, I was also growing up in the 70s and playing with dolls and, my parents got me a couple sets of doll furniture through the yrs and, would wake up Christmas morning and, all them baby dolls would be placed in the furniture, that was so, like magic and, then, when, my dad’s mom, his youngest sister along with her daughter would be staying with us my dad would do the same for her but, on a smaller scale but, he always made sure everyone had a nice Christmas! But, what my dad wasn’t a rich man by all means we were just a average middle class family who lived a average middle class family and,back then, families were actually closer and took care of each other. My dad did a lot for his family on a daily basis and, he always made sure that even when, our grandma wasn’t living with us my dad always made sure she was set for the week with the basics things she needed, mostly her Mountain Dew and,by the time the 70s were over with and, on there way out, I lost my dad who set a great example for all of us and how we should take care of and be there for our families! 30:46

[@dad4ever-c90]

As a kid, it was fun to go out with friends, whether it was to the mall, arcade, roller rink, or bowling alley. They were safe places where you could enjoy leisure activities with other kids your own age. It was sad to see them fade away. After the covid lockdown and forced isolation, I really thought people would VALUE in-person interaction more. Instead, many choose to stay home and only interact online, not even leaving for work or shopping.

[@aubreyodom468]

As irritating as it can be. What would this world be like if we took all the money we spend on killing each other & used it to feed the world with actual food that grows out of the ground. Without harmful chemicals & what not? I say this as a damaged Iraq Veteran. War & violence is the last answer. How many generations of traumatized citizens are we going to create before we actually evolve instead of revolve? 🤷‍♂️ Just how I see it. Any pain that is not transformed, will be transferred. Right now there’s a lot of pain in the world & unfortunately the only cure is Love & Respect. Despite opposing viewpoints. No matter what side people stand on, I think the majority of us can agree, things are not right. Spread some love & help someone out & we can maybe start that kind of movement, instead of tearing everything down. Maybe Im the A-hole as my Drill Sgt would say? Lol

Every, and I do mean EVERY, home had a large wooden salad bowl, wooden salad utensils for mixing and serving, and 6 little side bowls. It was like fancy dinner for those of us using paper napkins. Klassy. 3) macrame plant holders for your spider plant. What has happened to spider plants? We all had them. We'd talk about the number of shoots and babies. And every plant was suspended in a macrame plant holder. Those good old days that people wax nostalgic for were filled with god-awful fashion, acrylic fabrics and some pretty wacky ideas about status symbols. 🎉🎉🎉

The jellies shoes I bought in 1978 for five bucks now cost 69 bucks on Amazon.🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@Just-Nikki]

I just looked and it seems like the name brand Crocs are that much but most still go for between $15 and $21. Most things are indeed ridiculously priced now days though, I’m not trying to invalidate your point.

[@jcbulldog533]

Fortunately I never liked those jelly shoes . I remember those girls that wore them,when they took them off their feet were marked up & their feet stunk up the whole room!! Yuk!! They made people's feet sweat horrendously

[@johnbethea4505]

@gustavsorensen9301 very funny. I did mention anything about a 10 year old. My memories don't have anything to do with their memories. They will have their own memories, I hope. Answer, they will have more memories than a 80 year old when they are 81.

Great video

[@dew66666]

Sid and Marty Krofft shows were popular with us because they always had the same format and it always worked regardless of the premise of the show: Kids running around with little to no adult supervision. It was that simple. And every kid finds that concept appealing.

Hate to tell you BUT if you didn't have a bike with a banana seat and chopper style handle bars, it meant you were poor and could not afford a "cool" bike!!

[@paulwicklund5044]

My bike was the Huffy, cheater slick 3. It was orange and black.

[@Ninjanimegamer]

I had this model bike, but it was pieced together from junk parts my grandpa got from the dump. He brought the parts to his house, refinished, painted and oiled the parts. He put the bike together again. It was the envy of the town. The bike was a deep blue that looked like a dark teal in the sun with a sparkle top coat. The banana seat was a blue sparkle seat and the grip handles matched. I had the plastic tassels hanging from the end of the handles. The chopper style handle bar wes a shiny chrome and it was a fast bike with perfect balance. I rode that bike until I got into h.s., because it got too small.

[@jcbulldog533]

I got my banana seat bike for my 10th Birthday I was actually quite surprised since my Dad was the only source of income at that time.. I was super thrilled because my parents got me my favorite color which was purple & unfortunately had a white seat which got dirty really quick,but I always managed to get very clean.. Of course it also had the purple tassels on the handle bar's.. My most memorable gift as a kid..

[@matrox]

I didn't have that style. But I had 2 bikes, a 3 speed English racer and a coaster 26" cruiser with big whitewall balloon tires. And this was in the early to late 60s.

There were some of those monthly music and book clubs that had a service that wasn't publicized, but I can't remember what they called it. You could request *not* to receive the automatic shipments. They sent you the monthly offers but only shipped what you ordered. The only stipulation was that you needed to order a minimum number of items per year.
