And the big question was "Mary-Ann or Ginger.

I was a kid in the 60s and 70s (born in 58). It was the best time to be a kid. My first car was a Nova with “three in the tree”. That car just wouldn’t die and was driven to the junkyard. I had click clacks. We smoked almost everywhere. Ashtrays were in most homes and some were beautiful. I bought a 12” black and white tv with money I saved from mowing lawns ($4.00 per yard) during the summer ( my mom insisted it go on top of the fridge so she could watch the news during supper and watch her soap operas during the day. I had 3 paper routes when I was 12 and my first cooking job at 14. I always had jobs after that until retirement. We had tornado drills but no bomb drills. I learned to type on manual typewriters.

We did duck and cover drills but they were for earthquakes and not the bomb. I'm sure that the kids of the 1960's remember doing the duck and cover drills for the bomb, but by the late 60's early 70's it was for earthquakes. Especially if you lived in Southern California.
I am now 72 and these old-school trends and objects still come to mind. A lot of things have now come and gone....

I can no longer fly as I can't Smoke , I have to Drive or go by Train , I Hate the TSA , I grew up in the 60's and 70's and if Life can't be carefree like those days , There's no use in Life really . This world Sucks Now Day's .
I learned to drive a stick dhift in the 70s. In Europe they are generally still the rule. Most cars in Germany are still manuel transmissions. They are not so difficult to drive as described here.
Smoking sections didn't appear until the 1970's. Until then, you could smoke anywhere: In the work place, in restaurants, in airplanes, in hotels, in hospitals. It was kind of discouraged around fuel pumps, which didn't have the rubber vapor catchers that are common today. Smoking sections were always closest to the entrance, so that non-smokers had to walk through them to get to the non-smoking sections. Airplane armrests had ash trays built into them, and smoke always seemed to waft to the back of the cabin where the non-smokers sat. I visited a small town once in the early 1980's that was so isolated that the only telephone in the area was the gas station phone booth, and it was on a party line. TV Guide Magazine, manual typewriters, and encyclopedias lingered until the 1990's or later. It's interesting that they mentioned the Rat Pack, but not the Beatles. Or Laugh-In. Or Hee-Haw. Or that people didn't "get ready for bed" but rather they would "get ready for the news".
The party line segment completely ignored how you knew if the call was for your house when the phone rang. Despite sharing a single phone line, each household had its own phone number. How you knew a call was for you was that each number had its own ring. Think Morse Code. Your number could be two short rings followed by a long ring or a long ring, short ring, followed by another long ring. You were only supposed to answer your number's ring. As you might guess, yes, I've lived with having a party line.
Over in the United Kingdom think party lines had disappeared during the 1950s. There was just the occasional party line, but only two parties, who had different numbers. the pair of wires were "labled" A and B, the ringing being on Wire A against earth, or B and earth. Normal line ring used A and B. While most manual exchanges had disappeared before 1970. The last London manual exchange closed 1960. After the introduction of direct dialing, otherwise Subscrber Direct Dialing, all UK exchanges were made automatic and operator services only work for special needs, e.g. emergency calls.
I still drive a stick! You have better control. You drive the car, the car doesn’t drive you! We smoked Marlboros. Mom liked Virginia Slims. Lead paint, leaded gas were just normal. Never did qualudes! Or took other illegal drugs. Flipper, ok , Lassie, better! TV Guide we got. Ah, yes The teacher assigned a report topic, and we all rushed to the library to plagiarize from the Encyclopedia Brittanica Junior. Poodle skirts were 1950’s, not ‘60’s. We were on a four party line. Our ring was triplets and pause. Car hops, not in my area. I do remember A&W Root Beer with them on road trips. Atomic bomb drills, Ah, Bert the Turtle, “Duck, and Cover.” Manual typewriters, sure. Mom was the typist. Rat Pack more for middle aged adults, not kids. We went once a week to a drive in movie. But we brought our own snacks! Grandma P took us to the luncheonette with soda fountain or milk bar for egg cremes. Civil defense drills. We did them when living on base! Swanson’s TV dinners, grandma P’s again! Main frames, yes, Dad worked with them in the military. He brought home reams of accordion folded Xerox paper for whatever. Newspaper delivery, we didn’t order them. Bobbie socks and poodle hair-dos were 1950’s, not ‘60’s. The maker needs to study his history!
76 years old. What I know about computers and smart phones, I can write one side of of a post it note. I do, however, know how to red line a high performance big block V8 with a four barrel carburetor and a four on the floor.
There were absolutely """ NO """" smoking sections in the 1960s. People smoked "everywhere". My dentist smoked, my doctor smoked, people working in GAS stations smoked, I saw no smoking sections anywhere till the 70s
You keep confusing the 1960's with the 1950's. Duck and Cover drills in schools ended after the end of the Korean war in 1953. Poodle skirts were also from the 1950's. Bobby socks were from the 1940's. Drive In movies were on their way out in the 1960's. With the Viet Nam war, clothing and moral attitudes changed with the rise of the Beatles and Hippies and protests. You can still buy a few cars with a stick shift today as an option. Very few cars in the 60's had a manual transmission. Malt shops and drive thru eateries were also from the 1950's. Modern computers and cell phones came as by products of the effort to land a man on the moon by the end of the 60's and did not start showing up domestically until the 1970's. You also forgot about the turmoil of the 1960's caused by the assassination's of JFK, Robert Kennedy and MLK. You also forgot about the civil rights movement. The 1960's changed America dramatically. Many small towns still use loud sirens to contact volunteer firemen. Party lines were mainly in rural areas where there were a limited number of phone lines. Each phone on the party line had a distinct ring for incoming calls.
I remember "air raid drills" in which we went into the hallways and crouched down with coats over our heads. I was born 72 years ago (today), and this was during the early 1960s.
I still call a manual shift a standard transmission. They were called that because a manual was standard equipment on cars. Automatics were am "expensive" optional equipment. I had a set of Collier's Encyclopedia. We never had a party line (Cincy area), but my aunt uncle, and cousins (north of Indy) had a party line. I was in grade school in the early '60s. We never did nuke drills. I dook two semesters of typing in the 8th grade. At the end of my Junior year (1972) I was choosing classes for my Senior year. One of my friends came back from college for a visit and said the girls were charging $1.25/page for typing papers. I took another semester of typing. Soda fountains. REAL PHOSPHATES. Not this so-called phosphates we get today. The first TV dinners tasted like bananas because the ink they used on the packaging smelled like bananas. My first computer job was programming a mainframe (IBM 370/115 DOS/VSE) using punch cards.
In my home near Boston we had 2 party line. Two homes shared a line via signalling magic. In my grandmother's home in rural Maine, she had a traditional party line. Each user had certain ring code for calls addressed to them. When I started working I got a private line. I wanted to use Dial-up Bulletin Boards and later dial-up internet services. They would not work on a party line.
What are you talking about, at Drive-In theaters someone brings orders to you? In the 1960s you had to go to the snack bar and take care of it yourself, and bring it back to the car YOURSELF, nobody helped you …
Born in 1960 I hate typing when I was in high school but it was a requirement so I did it I always got an ass because I thought we had to see how fast we type they didn't say the words had to be spilled right
Quaaludes were a 1970s thing, encyclopedias were available well into the '90s. Poodle skirts were out of style by the 1960s. Party lines were mostly out of use except in rural areas by the 1960s. You really don't have your research done right.
Et les mini-jupes .... les jeans...... les jupes en vichy ......les grosses lunettes en plastique blanc ..... et tout ce que vous avez oublié ce sont les années 60 du moins en Europe
The 1960s was an odd time. It was still emotionally, musically and stylistically The 1950s till " The Beatles " showed up in February of 1964.............. The British Invasion brought in new looks, attitudes not to mention the death of JFK ushered in a festering mistrust of government.
was not around for this but as some here have already typed, think this is mixing many 50s fads with the 60s and somethings from later yrs, as was a child in the 80s and remember smoking sections that well were not really good as you could still smell it in what was suppose to be non smoking. could type more but wont, have a good day/night and downvote away as many seem to need to do.

There were not smoking sections in the 60ies. People smoked everywhere Smoking sections was more of an 80ies thing
Came here to say that smoking sections is a 90s thing before they smoked everywhere
Right. There are so many inaccuracies and anachronisms in the this video that it would take too long to correct them all.
Right. Smoking sections were rare until the 70s.
Depends on where you lived. Some places adopted smoking sections earlier than others, largely in response to pressure from customers.
I never knew a drive in movie that had carhops. We always had to shlep back to the concession stand to get anything and go to the bathroom.
Exactly carhops were at fast food store's I use to work at a sonic on skates.. Non of the skates had brakes... But that is what the creater said here he said at diners.
Well it says both.. We went all the time to different drive ins too none did that.
I think they're confusing drive-in movie theaters with drive-in restaurants.
Another documentary where people who weren't there tell people who were there what it was all about!
and get a lot wrong.
Smoking "sections" didn't start until late 70s.. before 1977 you could smoke anywhere,anytime.
That's what I recall. I'm thankful those days are over.

Hanging out at the soda fountains was more of a 1950s thing.

Not this so-called phosphates we get today. The first TV dinners tasted like bananas because the ink they used on the packaging smelled like bananas. My first computer job was programming a mainframe (IBM 370/115 DOS/VSE) using punch cards.
Don’t forget a 3 speed on the column.
In my home near Boston we had 2 party line. Two homes shared a line via signalling magic. In my grandmother's home in rural Maine, she had a traditional party line. Each user had certain ring code for calls addressed to them. When I started working I got a private line. I wanted to use Dial-up Bulletin Boards and later dial-up internet services. They would not work on a party line.
Cars with manual gear shifting still are mainstream in Europe. It is definitely NOT a sixties derelict.
I think he's talking about the 50s.
What are you talking about, at Drive-In theaters someone brings orders to you? In the 1960s you had to go to the snack bar and take care of it yourself, and bring it back to the car YOURSELF, nobody helped you …
Gets to the Quaadudes segment and shows a clip of someone on LSD.
In the 60s there were no non smoking sections.
A lot of these are familiar.
My high school had a smoking area for the students
Hey, I still drive a manual stick car... :)
We still have car hops. It's call sonic.
Many of these things are from the fifties, not the sixties
Most kids don't know what happened last year
I don’t remember Poodle skirts
Me neither
Poodle skirts were from the 50's.
I bought a stick shift finally at the age of 65.
This is the 50s...who put this together,?
Born in 1960 I hate typing when I was in high school but it was a requirement so I did it I always got an ass because I thought we had to see how fast we type they didn't say the words had to be spilled right
There wasn't single car from the 60s in the video. And most cars were automatic transmission by then.
Quaaludes were a 1970s thing, encyclopedias were available well into the '90s. Poodle skirts were out of style by the 1960s. Party lines were mostly out of use except in rural areas by the 1960s. You really don't have your research done right.
Milk bars? In the 1960s? Who made that up?
HERE's SOMETHING kids won't understand...............BEING DRAFTED
What yoo call "saddle shoes" were called "saddle oxfords".
Relaz and let your fongers do the tuping. 🤣
Et les mini-jupes .... les jeans...... les jupes en vichy ......les grosses lunettes en plastique blanc ..... et tout ce que vous avez oublié ce sont les années 60 du moins en Europe
Duck cover and pray
The 1960s was an odd time. It was still emotionally, musically and stylistically The 1950s till " The Beatles " showed up in February of 1964.............. The British Invasion brought in new looks, attitudes not to mention the death of JFK ushered in a festering mistrust of government.
was not around for this but as some here have already typed, think this is mixing many 50s fads with the 60s and somethings from later yrs, as was a child in the 80s and remember smoking sections that well were not really good as you could still smell it in what was suppose to be non smoking. could type more but wont, have a good day/night and downvote away as many seem to need to do.
Heyyy dudes,ya got any luudes?
Your dialogue is less than factual! Obviously who ever wrote the script didn't live in the 1960ss! You lack factual accuracy. .
I loved my 4 on the floor. It's nearly impossible today to buy a stick shift.
1995 Ford rangers came with 5 speed manuals
These days a standard transmission is a passive anti theft device.
@@mikeywid4954 years ago I guy near by was at a mall with his brand new corvette. Two kids with guns tried to car jack him. He got out gave them the keys and called 911. They were caught before getting out of the parking lot. They didn't now how to drive a stick.
So many of these came from the 50's or 70's. Disappointed
Not enough research, get back to the drawing board.
Pathetic! Pics and info accuracy is all over the scale.
Those days were awful.
The Volkswagen was the easiest standard transmission car to learn to drive.
