Back when commercials were for a product, not prescription drugs, insurance and law suits.
What about people wearing hoodie and onesies?!😊
there are still plenty that are just not drug commercials
There’s still a lot of product commercials, why are you acting like that’s rare?
I was born in 1948 and remember these commercials and many more. Television has really deteriorated over the decades. Back then we had only 3 channels instead of the 100+ channels we have today. There was more to watch on 3 channels than there is on the 100+ channels of today.
Amen!
Agreed
110% with you on that last statement!
You were lucky. We only had two channels.
What I miss the most about those days was the fact that most of my family and friends were alive.
Make new ones just like you did back then, friends that is.
@@safffff1000 I did since then and sadly most of them are gone also. Only a few now.
@@cheaplaughkennedy2318 Your doing something right to still be here to make new ones
But memories will never die or leave you … and I’m sure you have many……
@@safffff1000 👍👌
I was born on January 1962 and I sometimes wonder if anyone else, who was a child in the 60s assumed that life would always be as it was back in those days 😮.
I was born around the same time. I was somehow aware (even at a young age), how clean and wholesome the tv commercials, shows and social norms were (dress, comportment). It’s such a shame kids don’t have those same social underpinnings today.
I was born January 6th, 1962 and I can totally relate to what you said!
[ I ] was born in January 1962. Fellow 1962 Earthling: I too -- had to be told 2nd hand -all about President Kennedy and all the tears everywhere and the big, big fuss. I remember thinking (age 6 or so): "how come I wasn't aware of this stuff!!" "How did I get left out of all that blah blah blah...." That was real shortly after I asked "what's a "President" ?" Then shortly weeks later asked "who's the president now???" Mom said we "don't like Johnson".
Ordered (with big sisters) to "turn that damn television off !" (black & white only Magnavox) -- when the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan..... (U Know why, don't you). . . . . . .
----- and yah, I DID think things would always be the same, except for rocket men and big big computers. and I half believed my mother's encouraging well-meant lies.
Jan 26, 1962😂 thec70s were the best of times.
How in the world did we get from this to what we have today? I stopped watching TV because the Fakemercials make me want to puke. I’m glad my grandparents never saw how society has gone to the dirt. They were lucky to have this beautiful, dignified world.
Ah the days when people had class instead of seeing people in the grocery store wearing their pjs and having tats on their necks while yelling the "F-word" at their kids!
Really. You wear a suit the grocery store?
@@mark3464 Men wore nice shirts and slacks. Not beer T shirts and shirts with the f word on them. And women didn’t go to the store looking like they just rolled out of bed and used an egg beater to fix their hair. We definitely weren’t allowed to wear our pajamas out in public. Now most people, don’t care how they look. If they gain weight, they just buy larger t- shirts. Their wardrobe goes from working in the garden and taking out the garbage, to the store and a night out on the town!
@@robinbond7878 My Grandad always wore a suit, with waistcoat and hat outside the house.
I can't when "women" wear tight "gym" clothes at the store..... I hate it... The other day a lady had it on and its color was damn near her skin color....
Exactly whats wrong with this Godforsaken world
It is fascinating to watch a commercial and know what they are advertising.
Ikr???!!! 😜🤣

You attract men like flies. I can pardon the baseball bat you always carry. Must be Awful for those heart broken fools.
Edie Adams, what a strong woman. Left behind after her husband's death with almost insurmountable debt, she worked hard - including these commercials - to pay off her debt. Bless her.
She made millions on her own, sheer will power. Sadly, her only child with Kovacs dies in a car accident, like her father years before her.
Edie Adams... SCHWING!
Her television show was sponsored by a cigar company.
The debts were not hers, they were Ernie’s. But she vowed to pay them off, and I believe she did. She took any work that came her way.
@@jamesw1659 Yes, I wasn't clear. They were Ernie's debits, and with her integrity she worked hard to pay them off.
I was born in 1953 and remember the commercials of the 1960’s…miss those days.
Happened upon this video today - on my 61st birthday. I was born in 1962! Sure wish I could go back.
I'm 74 and I remember most of them; mostly the jingles and slogans, which are still knocking around in my head. Brylcream, a little dab'll do ya... Tide gets clothes cleaner, Tide makes water softer... I can't believe I ate the whole thing... etc.
Some brands have been around for a very long time!
Let Hertz put you in the drivers seat
Brycream’s slogan was the inspiration for Fred Flintstone’s Yabba daba doo.
@@janel.8921 Kool!
...I did, I did eat the whole thing! Good old Alla Seltzer...
I am a 1962 baby, so it is interesting to see what was popular when I came into the world.
Me too
Me too
Me too
Same here!
Same
I have such a weird feeling when I watch this. I see a very young lad that has no idea of what is ahead. I guess I just wish that I could go back in time and just give him a big reassuring hug.
Everybody dressed so classy and didn't have every square inch of their body pierced

I am 70 and I had that ideal Countdown that I wish I would have kept it....
Those were lucky kids with the SealTeast ice cream....Look at those portions! Dang!
I came here to say the same thing! ONE slab would be divided up between my family of four today.
I agree yummy
So funny. Dad would sometimes bring home a special treat. A square quart carton of vanilla ice cream. He would carefully make 6 cuts and our whole family loved having their own slice! 😂
We ate Sealtest ice cream cut into slabs like the ones in the commercial, but only one per serving. Our favorite was Sealtest lime sherbet, so refreshing. Sometimes I'd put a couple of scoops in one of our tall Tupperware tumblers and add a little ginger ale.
@@vivianpowell1732 We did that, too!!
Now I want an ice cold coke and some butterflake rolls. Thanks.
So cool to watch commercials about 1960’s tech on this iPad Pro, how far have we all come in amost 60 years!
That Sealtest ice cream.. used to come in boxes that you could open the ends and top, then remove the whole thing from the packaging. Tupperware sold a rectangular container to store ice cream in, with a slide-out L-shaped piece so you could pull it out whenever you wanted a slice. I still have one but the L is gone.
I always asked for the striped ice cream that you could slice, for my birthday!
I have the Tupperware. It’s a great shape if you don’t have much space in your fridge. Very space efficient!
Do you remember Sealtest Heavenly hash?
I want that Ice cream!
I still have that blue Tupperware container. I use it for crackers
Love the rocket toy. That $12.99 would be $118.00 today. Tomorrow it would be $250.00
On Ebay
If you had the original it would be worth way more than $250.00.
@@marciamartins1992 you wouldn’t have the original. It fell apart in hours
Yes..... I did a calculation and quick search of 1962 dollars and I had guessed at $127 bucks. 100 bucks in 1962 is about $996 in 2023 dollars.
But then your comment was two months ago so its probably dead on right :O)
Those Pillsbury rolls are to die for.
The Pillsbury rolls were delicious when they're hot out of the oven.
Even in black and white they look good.
As fattening as they were then and still are, I agree with you 200 percent.
Look how classy everyone looks!
Pretty classy times,... sadly gone forever.
And thin.

Back in those days, Grandma never left the house without white gloves!
We would wear our "play clothes or work clothes" at home, and change into nice clothes if we had to go to the store or downtown.
The amazing thing was everyone saw these regularly as you only had a few standard channels - there were no news channels or HBO. You had to watch what was on TV.
My parents were married in 1962, the day Marlyn Monroe died. Life wasn’t as glamorous as this in England but mum worked on a US airbase in a “ supermarket “ a new concept at the time. She said it was wonderful like visiting America every day.Oh and dear Dad was Lionel too!
I never realized how much effort it takes to serve Cottage Cheese…Wow!🤣
Likely why it did not catch on. Easier out of a tub.
Wa-WAAAAAH
I thought the same !!!
I actually wish they would still sell it that way- I love my squeeze bag of sour cream. Less oxygen gets in so it last longer. Not about ease but shelf life!
LOL I would rather just have a plastic lid and take whatever amount I needed. The individual serving would make sense if you were that secretary who's boss never asked her out for lunch or an afternoon delight at the local motel.
I was born in 1962 and now feel like I’m 1,000 years old.😢
Lionel had the answer to the Chinese spy balloons in 1962.
Good one.😂
😂😂😂
😂
Lol
Have you heard the balloons were not just traveling with the wind. They were doing figure eight’s collecting data and Biden let them drift all across America until shot down in the Atlantic. That way the instrument package could never be recovered.
Gosh, I was 4. I still remember where we lived, and how the house was laid out. We watched some TV, and I remember a lot of these commercials. But, we mostly played outside....you know....with other kids and our toys. :)
These commercials wound up being far more of a snapshot into our lives back then far more than American Grafitti or Happy Days really did. It seemed like just using a product would solve all your problems. Of course, the 60s had yet to really burst wide open when these were new.
Before the murder of JFK
Like watching "What's My Line." It makes me homesick,
The pre-Beatles 60s were really still the 50s, lol.
My mom served tang to us in the 60s it was awful
@@BradFalck-mn3pc It wasn't bad...Coke was a Lot better back than too compared to today since they replaced the sugar with Corn Syrup (YUK)
The Australian ad for the portable radio at 02:30 -- That's Brian Henderson. He was the main news reader for Channel 9 Sydney through most of the 70s-90s. Just about the most iconic TV voice I could imagine throughout my childhood. Every night at 6pm, there was Hendo, telling it like it was.
Oh commercials were so peaceful and nice. 🙏🎹
i am about halfway through and I realize that 1962 ads had a lightness and innocence to them. After 11/22/63 it would be impossible to create ads with that same vibe. The shift of consciousness was overpowering.
The sixties started on November 22, 1963.
Lee Harvey Oswald really screwed up the country more than any person ever.
Edie Adams for Murial Cigars. Fun ad.
@ColonialBuckeye Edie Adams did those commercials to pay off Ernie Kovacs debts after he was killed in a horrific car accident. When they started filming in color, Edie wore contact lenses to match the color of her dresses (yes, even YELLOW)!! Always thought she was an amazing actress, especially her version of Marilyn Monroe! She was a wonderful person!!!
@ColonialBuckeye When we didn't have money for popsicles, we'd pour some Tang in a saucer, dip ice cubes in it and lick them off. Poor man's popsicles in hot weather, a little messy, but not bad.
@@usmale49 as Edie always said, "It wasn't Ernie's debt, it was _our_ debt"
I was born in '63, and was raised with commercials like this--but watching that Camay ad today, OMG.
And Camay still on the shelves!🥰
I was one when most of these commercials were aired. I do remember being about six, though, in the back seat of our huuuge family car-beast. My Dad slammed on the brakes, I was thrown against the back of the front seats, got up and shouted, “Jesus Christ, Daddy!”
Seatbelt laws are good.
I was born in 1962. I love seeing how things were the year I was born.
Me too. We will be gone soon.
Seeing as creepy crawlers metal plates were like 500 degrees, the space center toy was probably nuclear. Lol
I have creepy crawlers scars to this day!
66 years old.
That rocket toy looks amazing even by today’s standards!
And costing over $12! 🤯 Alotta money for a toy back then
@@roadtoad7704 YES !!!
Kind of cool but also macabre... they're "playing" nuclear war.
@@LL-bl8hd Yup. I'm old enough to know, living in that real possibility back then, even though I was only a kid of 9 years old. Younger generations have no clue about that.
Coldwar toys were popular.
That cottage cheese packaging looks very 21st Century.
Too bad people prefer their cottage cheese in plastic tubs.
Of all the things to have an edge on: cottage cheese packaging.
I was born in February 1963, so this is pretty much the world I was born into... Hard to believe, really... These commercials seem like an eternity ago... Thanks, Don Draper and Peggy Olsen!
I was just a few years old. Looking at the young couple on the Coke ad they would have been about my parents age, so if those two are anything like my parents the girl is now in her 90's and the guy passed away a while back.
@@JeffDeWitt Wild to think, hm?
@@davidlincolnbrooks Yep. I tend to watch a lot of TV shows from the 70's and once in a while I think about the fact that most of the people I'm seeing are dead.
I'm 76 and I remember many of these. The cottage cheese one I don't remember, but it seems like it could be a good idea. The Aussie record player/radio made me laugh a little because they only had 6 radio stations. And that car - Dodge Dart - no seat belts, no air bags and a kid in the front seat. Those were the days. LOL
And those cars had leaf springs all around I think so they rode like a covered wagon with jarring bumps.
@@guidedmeditation2396 All Chrysler cars of that era had torsion bar front suspensions and leaves in the rear. Leaf spring suspensions were used for many decades and on a lot of different cars, some of which road quite well.
@@JeffDeWitt Its strange to imagine a huge heavy car using a torsion bar suspension but I guess it worked. That is a lot of stress on the metal.
@@guidedmeditation2396 These cars weren't even that big. Packard introduced the idea in 1955 in the Caribbean. Not only did those cars have torsion bars but the suspensions were self leveling. There is an episode of Jay Leno's Garage where he shows off his and takes us for a ride. Really advanced tech for it's day.
I was born in 1961 and it’s crazy to see what America looked like back then.
It was a time when people were proud NOT to be victims.
White.
There. I said what you were thinking.
@@greenbeans575 A person from India thought that the U.S. was at least half black from the commercials he was watching. Such is the power of propaganda. The strategy of divide and conquer by the tiny hat tribe, as in Soviet Russia.
Early 60s looked alot like the 50's/in some way, the decade really started with the 'british invasion' of '64-lot changed thereafter-
Except for the Kriesler ads; then you are suddenly in Australia (the Kriesler portable radio and the Kriesler radio-gram[aphone]). ..." ...has every Australian station clearly listed!"
Okay, but that berry ice cream sounds good though. 😍
It's hard to believe I was 13 when those came out! They really do sound like they're from a whole different century now! 😂
They were.
I prefer to watch 1900s TV vs the crap that is on TV today. And I am only 40 years old. I loath the 2000s.
@@thelthrythquezada8397 …you prefer the latter half of the 20th century vs. the 21st. They didn’t have tv until sometime in the 1950s.
How much times have changed. The way people sounded back then was very different.
Education was important and valued. The way you spoke, as well as pronunciation and the words that you used (vocabulary) were a reflection of your level of education and, as I said, was important.
Yes, they were articulate.
I forgot to mention penmanship. Also, the way you dressed and carried yourself indicated to others your respect for yourself (&others).
It was more how the technology made you sound and a formality when speaking in commercials. I don't remember people sounding any different in everyday conversation. As far as education, more people are educated now at a higher level. It's just that idioms and language has changed as it always does.
They were articulate and intelligent….
Born 1949. Definitely remember the commercials. Don't be fooled about the good old days. Always something 🙄
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
@@franklinstephen3268 Good old days, Bomb shelters as we were afraid of the Atomic bomb dropping ,race riots and many diseases we cure now but one died from back then, I was 21 years old in 1962 .we could go out and play by ourselves with out worry back then in the 1950's and no one in my city knew where we kids were till we came home for dinner Imagine that now where an Iphone may track your every movement.
I'm old 'cause I remember most of these commercials. My mom used to buy "SealTest"...it really was very good ice cream. We used DIAL bath soap (I still do)! Thank you for posting these great old commercials...they're a real "hoot"!!
I'm old too, but I don't recall seeing any of these commercials.
I was just pondering on how interesting it is because I was born in '62, so I wouldn't remember any of these but cool to see what was airing as I was entering the world.
I was 12 in 1962 so I'm old enough to have seen these.
@@dfirth224 The theme here is do we remember these commercials.
@@SandySez I was born in 62 also, damn I feel old! Easy bake oven, incredible edibles candy making toy, now edibles are a whole other thing! 🤣
Interesting how long commercials were compared to the 15 second ads we get nowadays.
And they didn't yell at you.
Also 30 min sit coms didn’t have but one commercial break in the middle.
@Frank Smith Yesterday's TV ads paid for the programming and the shows were the reason people tuned in.
Today's ads are apparently equally important (to executives) than the programming as they are allotted the same amount of air time as the show itself!
Yeah and they only showed two at a time, not six like they do now.
It's been said that in the 21st century, the average attention span of an American is about 15 seconds. Some people think that child-centered shows like Sesame Street attributed to shortened attention span from pre-school age to adult.
I’d like to have some of that Sealtest Berry Patch ice cream now..but what person would eat a whole box of ice cream by themselves ?
I think Madison Ave. Ad agencies were at their cutting edge back in the 60's. They produced some of the best TV ads that still remain in your memory now. Very creative, funny, catchy, fun, that's how I'd describe them.
Now they are run by Woke people who make sure Blacks are in every commercial
Loved Sealtest ice cream as a kid. It was the absolute best! The only ice cream we ever had growing up❤️
Sealtest is such a horrible name for ice cream. It sounds like window caulking from the Home Depot or a brand of super glue.
@@guidedmeditation2396 I’m guessing you’re a whole lot younger than me. There were only a few brands back then, Sealtest being the best. I’m talking 50s, early 60s. Hood was a little pricier and had less flavors. Friendlys was around, which was awesome…They did offer take home containers, but you had to go to the restaurant to get it. They were nowhere close to where we lived. They were a state away.
But who serves ice cream in slabs like that!
All of Sealtest's products were good. We bought their milk and cottage cheese too.
The one that the lady is upset because her boss has not taken her out for dinner is absurd!!! Funny 🤣😀🤣
Yep and if the boss asked you out now it could be considered sexual harassment.
The main goal for all women back then was to bag a husband. Those were not really the good old days for women (or anyone else).
@@RevLeigh55 / Sorry that time was so unbearable for you.
It's sad because the voice over claims it's how you get ahead in business. That part was true for the most part.
Well, why else would a woman be out working? Her parents did their part; now they sent her out to bag a husband.
It's not like women were supposed to be independent.
Watching this made me feel very, very old. I remembered almost all of them!
5:00 Edie Adams did commercials to pay off her late husband, Ernie Kovacs' back taxes. Kovacs was killed in a car accident in January, 1962. and owed the government a great deal of money. Kovacs' cigar was a sort of his trademark. His tv show was unique and is worth watching, as he played with tv technology as no one has before or since.
I wonder how long it took for Edie Adams to pay off her late husband's back taxes.
It's spooky to think about the fact that most all the perfect-looking people in these commercials are now dead & gone.
Yes, it's very sad...
They were only perfect-looking for the camera.
Edie Adams and Ernie Kovacks My all time favorites.
I especially liked the Coke commercial. I love the happy, uplifting music. You almost forget the product is so bad for you :-P
Coke soda has a lot of sugar. Sugar causes diabetes.
Beautiful. Thank you! I feel transported back in time to a feeling I haven't felt in decades. Feels so soothing. Thank you!
And not one bit of plastic packaging. Years later Mr. Robinson advised for it; today it is a scourge. Some older things are better.
I agree with you.
What do you mean, "No plastic" ??
What was that cottage cheese in? A paper bag?
I was 16 in 1962 & watched a lot of t.v. then, but I don't remember a single one of these
commercials, except the Lionel train car one, since my 9 nine year old brother had one!
I'm 61.5 years old and I WANT THAT LIONEL TRAIN SET WITH THE MISSILE LAUNCHER AND THE AIR COMPRESSOR CAR!!!
I'm 58 and so do I.
I'll try to get one for you.
Although I've heard of most of these products, I've never seen these particular commercials for them. I've never heard of Sealtest and had to Google it. It was produced and sold on the east coast, and I live on the west coast. It probably wasn't shipped this far. Over the years, the company has been sold off and taken over in parts and has become more "modern" names such as Nestle. They were ahead of their time by putting cottage cheese in pouches instead of tubs. Don't know if packages like that are still available with cottage cheese in them, but there are plenty of other products sold now in "single use" pouches, even tuna fish. Hope everyone else enjoyed this video as much as I did.
Love the Dodge Dart commercial with no one wearing seat belts. Ah, the good old days.
My family had the 64 Dart. They traded the 54 Belair in. There were seatbelts. Nobody used them, and they slipped under the cushions. Good days. Indeed.
How are no seat belts indicative of good old days? More people died in car crashes. This is one aspect where life today is better/safer.
@@davidpowellseattle If you left them out, they would fling around and that huge metal buckle would smack the littlest kids!
And to think a Dodge Dart was considered a “compact!”
I was a teenager before I rode in a car with seat belts. I owned a Dodge Dart, it was the worst car I ever owned. I had cars I only paid $100 for that were better cars.
Thank you, Don Draper!
My favorite commercial of the era was Oasis cigarettes - smoking while water skiing. Seriously.
It's really time to quit if you can't water ski without smoking.
@@alicewolfson4423 😂😂😂
My grandfather had emphysema when I was a child in the 60s. I always knew smoking was bad. It should not be glamorized even in nostalgia!
You could have edited the volume of each one so they are all similar in volume... yeah I know that's more work but it sure would have made this video better!
Boy that's a real exciting toy there isn't it countdown I imagine the kids played with it for about 5 minutes and put it in the closet forever.
...after telling their parents that they would "absolutely die‼️" if they didn't get it, they might play with it for about 5-10 minutes before they get bored with it and start begging their parents for the next "must have" gadget.
Those commercials were much longer than ones we see today.
And less noisy
I don't know about that. I feel like commercials last forever now to the point I can only watch streaming channels like Netflix or Prime. They drive me crazy even though you can kind of fast forward through them by pausing for a half an hour or so.
To me they sound repetitive. They only had 30 seconds worth of lines, so every time is said twice,
You're forgetting about all the big pharma commercials that go on and on forever....
They only showed two at a time then. Now it is like six at a time.
I've been looking for a certain Uncle Ben's Rice commercial over the years, and haven't had any luck. It is from the mid to late 1960's, and shows the mother and daughter (maybe 12 years old?) making dinner for the family. The girl serves the rice, and the father comments on how great it is. The mother says, "Beth made it!". The point being, I think, that the rice is so easy to make that even a child can do it. I think the girl had freckles and pigtails.
In any case, I wanted to find it because the girl went to my grade school. She was a couple of grades before me, and my sister was in her class. Her younger brother was in my class. I think their name was "Morgan", or like that.
I was born that year. I do remember using a lot of the products in these commercials.
Gee, i don't know. Those ads for Kreisler electronics are British.
It’s weird to me how many of those jingles pervaded our lives and how I remember the songs even though I was 7 years old. TV was and still is an incredible tool.
Me too
Truth. I was 9 and I remember well.
I was 7, too. We didn’t have a TV but I heard the jingles on the radio. My mom said she would like to have a TV, or another baby. My sister was born in 1963.😂 I was a teenager by the time we finally got a little black and white TV with rabbit ears antennae. So exciting! Bewitched, The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Get Smart, Dragnet…great memories!
The fun part of watching these is the old TV set framing! A friend of mine did this with some old programs that were encased in an old set but played on a modern set inside it! Makes all the difference!
Seems like this television might be a little too modern for those times. Most were wooden pieces of furniture. If they really want to make it seem real they should add some static, and roll the screen up now and then! 😂
@@jazzmoos5382 We had a black and white RCA on a TV stand in 1962. I was 2 years old. Grandma bought us a color wood cabinet model for Christmas in 1964.
Edie Adams was married to the cigar smoking comedian, Ernie Kovaks.
My dad collected Lionel trains as an adult, and I don’t recall ever hearing about the action one shown. I’m surprised he didn’t buy it for us girls as a way to justify it for himself. 😄
My grandparents would have been 14 and 15 at the time of these commercials, and it was 11 years before my mom was even born! It is so cool that I get to see these whenever I want on UA-cam.
1962, the year I was born, I'm 60 until August 18th.
1961 on Aug 15th here so I don't remember any of these
I love these!!! Thank you!!!!
Damn. I knew I should have gotten that Electronic Missile Base when I saw it!
I learned that Australia must have had no electricity in the early 60s with those battery powered radios.
The more rural areas, certainly
My mom was 13 the year these came out. Something cheezy and wonderful about the old stuff.
Hi how are you doing?
To me, the biggest difference in these old commercials is their length. A full minute was common. These days, 15 seconds seems to be the dominant form. I'm sure there are lots of factors that have lead to this trend: decreasing attention spans, increased cost of air time, stations attempting to maimize profits by cramming in more commercials during a program break, etc.
Thank you for your comment! You are right!
Also studies were done & found people responded more quickly to images than lengthy jingles or spoken phrases.
Back then, there was usually one single sponsor for any given show, and that sponsors product(s) were woven into the show, there was much less commercial time per show back then as well. A 30 minute program was about 27 minutes of the show and 3 minutes of commercials.
Nowadays there are dozens of sponsors for a single show, and we get about 19 minutes of show and 11 minutes of commercials!
Forget about cable stations that chop the shows to bits and speed them up to fit in even more commercials.

Beautiful Edie Adams hawked Muriel cigars for decades. She was the Flo Progressive gal of her day. "Why don't you pick one up and smoke it sometime?"
I remember a Muriel campaign based on Sweet Charity's Big Spender "Spend a little dime with me" also Muriel Penatella Extra.
Mason Adams for Peter Pan Peanut Butter voice actor. Did Smuckers as well.
And so many other things
Mason Adams was a regular cast member in the TV show, Lou Grant.
That ice cream honestly sounds good. I can’t stand all the romanticizing of the past in these comments, but at the same time, there are some old things I’d love to be able to try. If I could have one genie wish, I would ask for a Time Machine.
If only they could come up with a cottage cheese container that had a lid on it.
😂
I don’t remember cottage cheese coming in those packages.
😄😆😆😂😄
Things didn't come in plastics back then but in milk carton like containers.
I like the Berry Patch ice cream. I wish they still sold it. Sounds great!
I’ve been baking canned rolls incorrectly my entire life…
Yes, you want them baked on their sides so they pop!
they do look a little better on their sides! haha!
It's okay, Kelley, you're forgiven 😆.
When I watch these i imagine the grandchildren of these performers watching Granny and Pop Pop when they were young and beautiful. I was 8 in 1962, so i remember a lot of these.
2:21 The price of the toy ($12.98 in 1962) would be $120 - $130 in today's money. Expensive!
I find it interesting how many processed foods came out during this time and now some people are going back to more unprocessed food. Clearly not everyone, but more than in the early 2000's
Canned food began in the 1800's.
I remember the early frozen TV dinners. They were awful.
The only ones I remember actually seeing were Edie Adams singing about cigars, and the Peter Pan peanut butter one. I would have been 9.
Great Fab Idea inside Vintage TV SET!
Thank you! Wonderful nostalgic Spots! Terrific Memories of our fave Era🗽
Thank you! But some people don't like the idea of a vintage TV🙂
wow my dad was born in 1958 and he remembers these. he always told me about the soda in glass bottles. so cool
We need to show him this video🙂
I was born in '50. I remember playing ball and going to the delicatessen for an RC cola - 10 cents!
I was also born in 58. Yes soda ‘s were sold in glass bottles, also sold in cans that needed a church key to open them before pull tabs. We mostly drank Shasta. They had many flavors. My brothers and I used to recycle glass bottles long before the “green people” even existed. We made a dime a bottle. We saved our recycle money in a coffee can and by summer, we had enough money to pay for trips to the pool, beach snacks etc. as we got older, we started working other jobs and still put part of our money in the can.
Bruh, I've been making Grand's Biscuits worng.
The Lionel turbo missile firing car actually shot down balloons!!! How eerie seeing that toy back then in light of the 'weather balloons' being shot down today. 🤔🤔🤔
That berry patch ice cream looked delicious
Hard to believe that the boss asking his workers for lunch was acceptable, nowadays it would be a meeting with HR 😂😂😂
Back then it was the only way a woman could get a promotion… ugh!
Love those retro commercials.
I never knew you could cook rolls like that 4:15. I feel really silly lol
They still make Pillsbury rolls (in the dairy case). Just get a can and see how easy they are.
@@stanleycostello9610 I think only crescent is still available
@@tomservo56954 no, there are still various biscuits too, as well as french bread and cinnamon rolls.
@@vjhreeves Yes, I know...I was referring to the ones in the ad.
We had them a lot...the butterflake type..my aunt only served the crescent ones...never saw the sesame ones
