When my daughter was little someone gave her a Barbie that was from an around-the-world type collection.

On the Barbie commercial: Back then, there were no "Girl Bosses". Girls were expected to get married, make a home, and be a Mom. You were also spot on when you mentioned the reason women HAD to go to work was government taxation. I think that most women even today would rather be able to stay home and raise their children without Daycare, babysitters, etc. As an aside, several years back, my ex-sister, (don't ask), was thinking about quitting her job, so we were discussing the finances of it. By the time we accounted for the cost of transportation, work clothing, (office professional), daycare for her son, etc., we figured that she would lose about $50 a week by not working. And if you want a REAL laugh, ala the expectations of women in the 50s, look up "The Good Wife's Guide". You could make a whole vid just dissecting it.

I love your comments and fun smile. You have a great deal of energy that comes across so well. On the other hand, I am an old guy and grew up with and remember all of these commercials on TV. Very few people were offended by them. Some were considered (like the Jello) tacky or in bad taste, but no one started a riot over them. Barbie was for little girls (G.I. Joe came out later for little boys, but the leftists considered that too war like and said "boys shouldn't play with dolls" anyway. Unlike dolls at the time, Barbie was more realistic (and away from the "cuddling" and feeding aspect of dolls of the time. I never saw the commercial for Swing Wing and none of my friends had one. It probably didn't last long since it was "dorky" then and is "dorky" now. The cola companies had artificial chemicals added instead of real sugar because you could store it longer. Real sugar was seldom used in cola drinks during the 1970's-2010"s because it was more costly (Corn syrup is used now). Let's ignore the fact that artificial ingredients are damaging to the body . "Body shaming" is a fact of life. Until the late 1800's, most men preferred a woman who was "pleasingly plump" because it was considered healthy. Today the slimmer body is preferred and is healthier. Too much sugar is NOT the problem. To little activity is. Some people avoid sugar because it makes them "fat". Not true, sugar is a fast burning carbohydrate that will disappear fairly soon when you minimize it. The real problem is the "heavy " carbohydrates that turn into fat (a form of stored energy) that stays with the body unless it is burned off by activity. Today, kids sit on their butt all day long and don't exercise, walk or play sports. The ones who do are usually slimmer (depending on a persons biology). ...Just saying.

[@susanpumphrey354]

See, I think there's been some major retconning as to the original intent of the Barbie doll. I was born in the early 70's and I grew up playing with both baby dolls and Barbie dolls. When I was a child, Barbie was always viewed as a FASHION doll, not a "girl boss" doll. The whole point of Barbie was that you could have endless choices for her clothes, shoes, and jewelry. I sewed tons of clothes and hats for my slew of Barbie dolls, and mixed and matched outfits for all of them all the time. Dressing Barbie was a fun way of putting together different outfits and getting a feel for what works together and what doesn't. The lesson my friends and I learned from Barbie was that you could still be fashionable even as a more mature woman. The thought that Barbie was supposed to represent some kind of career woman vs a housewife/mother never even entered my mind until it started being shoved down our throats very recently, tbh.

The Jello commercial reminded me of 2 other commercials, both from the 70s. 1) Was for Tide or another detergent, a Chinese man does laundry, and the suburban White housewife says "How do you get the clothes so clean?" and he says "Ancient Chinese secret". In the end she finds out he's using Tide or whatever and smirks. 2) Was either a beer or NFL commercial, I forget which, because it had famous coaches and football players drinking beer and playing cards. They ask their Japanese friend if he wants to cut the cards, he karate chops the whole table. Swing wing. I mean, what's different from that commercial, and "I whip my hair back and forth"? Enjoli. I remember that commercial as a teen, it was supposed to be very "empowering" at the time. I watched a video once, which lead to a rabbit hole of sorts, of banned commercials. These were far more modern commercials, the two I think were most memorable: A German eyeglass commercial, husband and wife are in the car, and wife wants to give a nice surprise to the husband. Accidentally "goes down" on the gearshift, because she needs glasses. The other was for Skittles, Newlyweds are having simulated relations, and the groom says "Oh, here it comes" and then Skittles pour over the bride. The end line was "Taste the rainbow".

[@andyfletcher3561]

Yeah, I'm 67 in a couple weeks...Never saw any ''Swing-Wing'' OR the Coke commercial. The drink powder was to compete with Kool-aid. I think it was like a penny a pack cheaper. We also had Wyler's that had root beer and cola flavors with a fizz tablet.

[@shawnhurley3815]

About that Coke commercial. You are correct on the ingredients. Far less than tody. Most of which were naturally derived. Corn syrup didn't come into wide spread usage untill the late 70's. But the biggest difference is size. A single serving bottle today is 20 plus oz. Back when this commercial was filmed, that single serve bottle was 8 oz.

Even though he also had a job. Maybe I'm just a romantic. Society pits us against each other, and there are certain roles that are traditionally enforced.

Then you have the start of federally backed student loans that you can't bankrupt out of & the push for people to go to college, therefore flooding the employee market with college grads, making a bachelor's degree equal to what a HS Diploma was back then & a masters degree is now what sets folks apart. Since the college degree is "required" it makes young adults more dependent on their parents for longer & they can't afford to start their own life.

My 78 year old wife rolled her eyes at an article in the paper a few days ago that called a woman in her 60s 'elderly'. Her mother was still doing the supermarket shopping at 96 years old. Her aunt was still working part time at age 90. Young people naturally think that people ten or fifteen years older than them are 'old', but thinking that a 30 year old is ancient is a bit ignorant. Mind you, it is advertising.

So fun fact: Barbie was NOT the first "fashion doll"...that's just the way Mattel rewrote history when they won. The channel mjtanner has a great little documentary on it, including how Mattel torpedoed the company they all but stole the Barbie design from.

Here in Edmonton there's a car window repair company called GlassMasters Autorepair. I still remember their tagline I heard over the radio a fears years ago for how legendary it was, where after their ad played a man with a deep, gruff voice said "Glass Masters! Show us your crack!" I dunno why they haven't continued it and I hope it wasn't because somebody got offended, but despite not having a car at the time I knew who I was going to to get my windshield repaired if needed.

It's interesting to note that the Enjoli perfume ad is actually targeting the husbands with the line: "Give her Enjoli, the 8-hour perfume for the 24-hour woman". This ad works well during game day.

I love what you said about the first commercial and blue collar workers. My husband and I were talking about this last night. I remember my teachers telling us that if we didnt go to college, that we would end up being gas station attendants. Now that I think about that, who cares? As long as someone is a productive member of society and providing for their family, then why does it matter what our job title is??

[@RobbieBishop]

How many gas station attendants do you see in 2023? And you completely missed the message that your teacher was promoting which was “don’t throw away your opportunity for a quality education which could provide a career path for better wages & emerging industries. If a teacher told their students “working drive thru at McDonald’s is an acceptable career path”, I’d be angry. And jobs such as those pay low wages, so they can’t care for themselves much less family.

The song 'I'm a Woman' was recorded by Jim Kweskin's Jug Band, with Maria Muldaur on vocals, back in 1965. She made it less bossy and more sexy. No business suit or expensive perfume in sight! It made a much stronger case for the appreciation of how strong and multi-faceted women were.

i watched some KZbin vids of commercials from the 70s and 80s recently. my childhood decades. of course it brought back memories where i could still sing the jingle or knew exactly what was being said in a commercial I had not seen in 30 to 50 years. nevertheless, i did see several commercials that would make heads explode today. but really nothing that should upset a reasonable person.

The swing wing was developed by Transogram Games and introduced in 1965 so technically its a gen x toy. However you are right. It gave people concussions due to the swinging force of the blade, and was ultimately pulled from shelves

We had, yes HAD, a huge Jeep plant where I live. It was the main hub of where many of their models were only made. They shut it down this year and i believe outsourced. 10s of thousands of people lost their jobs. It is so sad. The loss of those blue-collar jobs has, in fact, had an impact on our community
