Here are 40 shocking and weird pictures of what life was like 70 years ago.
1
What the actual fU*& yall?! They couldn't be that innocent back then?
2
Here's to the original slinky dog. I thought it was a Toy Story concept! He does exist!
3
There's no doubt kids were hard core back then. I can't see our little cupcakes in this picture.
4
Maybe they were healthier because everything was leg powered and not battery pack powered?
5
WHy don't we have space ray guns anymore?! This needs to come back
6
Cowboys and Indians was probably their answers to video games (cheaper and more fun too)
7
Cutting edge technology right here.
8
I'm not sure what this is, but it looks like you pedal with your hands.
9
This would never go over today with germ phobia, masking, and those pointy straws could poke an eye out.
10
The beginning of Barbie.
11
TV shows were shot with kids live and that had to be interesting
12
Another TV show that was popular with kids.
13
My great grandma used to say since they didn't have air conditioning, all of the girls would sit outside in the hot afternoons and play jacks. No air conditioning feels like somethng from 100 years ago
14
And learning new yoyo tricks was a craze
15
These metal strap on skates look like death traps but they probably still work even today if you found a pair.
16
Putt putt was all the rage
17
And sling shots weren't just a cartoon concept, they actually were a toy boys played with (and would be banned now).
21
Hula Hooping and learning new tricks was the girls' answer to the yoyo
22
And I'll bet those easy bake oven cupcakes are almost ready to come out the oven now!
23
IDK but this kind of looks better than legos.
24
Things like this need to come back!
25
I have no idea but it looks fun
26
Brachs chocolate box, what?
28
Their snacks looked better
