You took these very seriously, they really held the future right there and they just KNEW man.

2

You secretly squeezed the TP just like Mr. Whipple

3

You had to wait in long lines for gas during the shortage and a lot of cars had keys to unlock their tanks (and some were hidden behind license plates

4

Cars were weird and clunky but that real metal made them more like bumper cars and seemed to protect lives better

5

Food just isn't the same

6

There was something so simple about the boxes and what was inside of them

7

You stayed up to watch this, and that's the truth PTHHHHH

8

What color was yours?

9

Or did you have avocado?

10

Your parents definitely had these on their desks at work (often with notes, stains, and looking a little gross from use)

11

They had cell phones, but very few people owned them. They weighed as much as a mini horse.

12

The candy shop at school sold these for a nickle or dime

13

14

These tickled your nose if you started drinking before it was ready

15

And yeah, really.

16

Aren't you glad the 70s fashion is gone...

17

You dressed like this for at least one halloween and called people cone heads

18

Anyone could get cigarettes

19

Soaps were wrapped in thick paper and every product had a catchy, memorable jingle that you still find yourself singing today- you're not fully clean unless you're ZESTfully clean

20

Furniture was clunkier than the cars

21

And every kid had one of these

22

You had this exact dustpan (everyone did. It was like, given to people at the turn of the clock on Jan 1 1970)

23

24

The real cheezballs were heaven but you took them for granted.

25

Bell bottoms weren't bad but polyester was nothing nice

26

You will never forget that damn drum that scared the crap out of you or other kids

27

It was a great time to be alive. These didn't really gain momentum until the price came down in the '80s

28

You were blinded and probably suffered retinal damage from this flash (and for some cameras, the flash was disposable

29

You miss these ads that preceded movies.

30

The postie guy rode around in these bad ass jeeps

31

And you recall a time when baggies did not exist, wax paper and wax bags held your school sandwich

32

Every girl and woman had these and complained that their backs hurt

33

You have memories so strong from these and they're triggered even when you pass them on the shelf today

34

Groceries looked like this

35

And people didn't have islands, they had these

36

drink machines looked a little simpler and smaller

37

And tv dinners were actually really good- and Hojo made a line

38

You are sorry/not sorry these bad boys didn't make a comeback
