Ohlord Published 06/21/2019 in wow

Life in the '50s with poodle skirts, soda shops, and doo wop seems so simple and cute now. There was a lot of family time and playing outside. Here's a peek into life in the OLD days.

Even back in the old days, they knew the importance of being able to grab a beer and sandwich while watching the tellie
2.
A look at what some of our products looked like (look at JIF in a glass jar!)
3.
Who knew Listerine made toothpaste!? Wonder why they stopped.
4.
Sears. RIP.
5.
Hair goo, pink and sticky.
6.
Today her on set treatment would have been child abuse
7.
Movies actually had an intermission so you could go get more concessions (because they were affordable)
8.
Juke boxes played and booths were packed at soda shops after school
9.
My mother still has her barbie with the black hair in perfect condition.
10.
Every now and then you still see one of these heaters in a bathroom, so warm and wonderful (and dangerous, apparently)
11.
I've been told you really wanted her to call your name
12.
The old bunnies actually wore ears
13.
Another kids show
14.
I wish we would have gotten to experience drive ins!
15.
These chewy little candies that you still find around Halloween sometimes
16.
17.
The Patty Duke show, because they're cousins, Identical cousins... Patty and Cathy.
18.
These were alive and well
19.
And this was a big deal
20.
21.
Serious business I tell ya
22.
And they survived
23.
These are still around and still hurt like hell if you step on them
24.
25.
Kids spent a lot of time doing things like this
26.
27.
And no one could wait for the newest Twilight Zone
28.
Maybe a little wrong there.
29.
Another fun fad that continues today
30.
Some survived the tests of time (though they look different)
31.
And oreo packaging has changed a bit. I miss the boxes that were around even in the '80s
32.
33.
34.
And I have no idea how this got here but I can't delete it so enjoy and move on.
