r/1970s

Best time of my lifeI .......wish I would have known that back then

Gatorade gum! That's mine! I always have a dry mouth and that was the best gum for it. I lived the flavor too.

I loved this! It was one of the only places you ever got to see what your favorite group looked like. American Bandstand was too bubblegum. This way waaaay before music videos.

None of this laid back nonsense of 2026, back in the 1970’s America was on the move and did not have time to put a yummy sugary breakfast into a bowl

The box will do

“Hurry up, Land of the Lost is Starting!”

I lived in a very small town and we had a Book Mobile come through every other week at the elementary school. I remember being let out of class for 30 minutes to go to it. I remember the smell most of all. It smelled like old books and wood from the shelves. We were allowed to check out 3 books. That was the highlight of my week and I missed it on the off weeks.

These were smaller and cheaper than Barbie, but just as pretty.

Innocent until proven guilty of course and never judge a book by its cover, but back in the 1970’s if I see Mr Whipple squeezing the Charmin while I am walking in my local Pathmark headed towards the Bosco, i’m going the other way

I thought the push buttons were great.

Remember asking for the carbon papers back from the cashier?

When I was 13 I walked 20 miles wearing a pair of moccasins. By the time I got home, I had blisters and my feet were orange.

There’s a certain 1970s calm in this Michelob spot—like a backyard pause you didn’t know you needed. A friendly pour, a close smile, and that unmistakable “come on in” feeling turn a simple drink into a memory you can almost taste. If you grew up on crisp TV commercials like this, it’s the kind that brings the whole era rushing back.

I remember all of my boy cousins climbing up in one for a haircut with the clippers. I helped my gran do dishes, decorate cookies and it was our booster chair when we were really little.

The lemon gave it a different taste.
