If you like retro commercials form the 1950s and 60s, then you'll love these type of videos. I always love listening to these when I'm in need of something sweet and chewy.
I can't stand it anymore! I'm going out for a juicy, scrumptious, mouth-watering hot dog with extra delicious mustard! I'm glad to-day's theatres don't have intermission with such ads--I would be broke! lol
growing up in San Francisco back in the 1950's and 1960's, when we went to the movies to see " The Mole People" in 1963, they always had someone come on stage and do live magic tricks, then Cartoons before the movie. and that's how it was. the movie was 10 cents or 25 cents to get in. those popcorn boxes were square like that. we used to fold them and throw them ( sail them) toward the screen. also every movie had movie attendants with a flash light to show you to a seat. memories!
@@abbycollins In the 1960s, we drove to the box office at the drive-in, a sign said $1.19 , it was the general admission price, but if you were 12 or under, it was 75 cents. I've seen that so many times. ..
One of my teachers in junior high is from Sweden and said that back in the 70s, before the movie played, employees would pass out candy to the audience members. I read that in Germany, an employee would carry a box of ice cream products strapped around his it her waist after the previews were over and while the audience waits for the projectionist to change reels. Some older buildings still do that (I can't imagine it during the pandemic though). Italy would do that same thing with popcorn, ice cream, chips, etc. but most theaters in Italy nowadays sell them in the lobby like in the United States. Anyone from other countries remember an employee carrying a box of movie snacks in the auditorium?
People were not obsessed with body image back then. Not to mention people were more active and were taught good eating habits. There was no screaming I want ___________. I am not eating that. You ate what was served by Mom and Dad or your didn't eat. That lead to eating right because you grew to like healthy foods. You new from your upbringing the importance of healthy food. Junk food was special occasion food or snacks only not for the main course of your meals.
Yeah, because portions were smaller and people were physically active too. I noticed all the "junk" food on these drive in adds including burgers, candies, hot dogs, sodas, hot chocolate, and ice cream and it seems that obesity wasn't anywhere near the deal then.
By the time you got to the snack bar, surrounded by all the food, and started choosing this and that, you really didn't care. And they tasted at least decent, it was a moot point.
Blue Fox Drive In in Oak Harbor Washington has an excellent snack bar. It definitely lives up to these kinds of ads. I should be getting paid for this...
There’s this drivein theater in Sydney with pet-friendly options introduced late 2015/early 2016 . I heard that they have peanut-butter flavored icecream for dogs and pet-friendly soda. They also have hot cocoa for cats *slightly cooled down so he doesn’t burn his tongue or she doesn’t avoid it until it gets cold!* (yes they literally have it on the mug)
You wouldn't have seen "Let's All Go To The Lobby" at a drive-in because drive-ins didn't HAVE a lobby. They had a snack bar in a separate building. Of course, many of the delicious treats would have been the same, but theaters didn't sell sandwiches or burgers, for example. Just drive-ins.
crinkle fries in the greasy bag, eskimo pies in those silver wraps, those old ketchup & mustard dispensers and all the glittery designs, dad and I laughed a lot abt the little elf that rubbed his tummy. our old clarkston, wa riverside theatre gone for many years too as are most others as well as most of the googie architecture bldgs of the 50s so its good to see some are being re-renovated
Wow. I remember this so well. I saw it so many times that I thought I would never want to see it again, but here I am enjoying the hell out of it. Thanks for uploading it.
Calling that gee dunk food is a stretch. The cardboard box that held the "generous size sliced pizza" probably tasted better than the tissue thin pizza.☺
Summers in Maine must be like 2 weeks long. We only get a couple of months of truly warm weather here in southern New England, which is not enough for someone like me who doesn't like the cold. So I can only imagine what it's like up in Maine. Beautiful state to visit, which I have done, but not warm enough for my liking. If I didn't have friends and family here, I'd probably move to where the temperatures average in the mid 70s.
@@Soxruleyanksdrool It's warm all through June through August, the cold isn't really here until the winter months. It's not that different from the rest of New England. I'm speaking of southern Maine, I can't speak for anything up past Augusta or Bangor. And just found out that the Drive In is closing :(
@@BfDelano Sorry to hear that. I grew up going to the drive-in back in the '70s. Great memories. Sadly, the drive-in will eventually be lost to history.
@@Soxruleyanksdrool And it shouldn't be. I could have sworn that the Saco Drive In was on the registry of historical sites, and it was one of the drive ins about 8 or 10 years ago that won a brand new digital projector so they could continue operating.
I remember the intermission clip from our drive-in theatre had a pizza chef throwing his pies in the air, then he himself went flying up in the air! Wish I could find it cause it was hilarious!
@@johnkerkalis6310 I said before, we had an extra-large Desoto car, it was so huge it had two extra cushions, you put them between the back seat and the back of the front seat - but there was something wrong with this car, dad tried to get it fixed in the garage part of the gas station again and again - until a tow truck came in the driveway in 1965 and took him(Long-John, that was the car's name) away; I never saw him again, replaced by Nancy, a 1950's Plymouth we got for $35.00, I still don't like her to this day, piece of junk and doesn't run anymore ...
It was grand growing up during the 1950s. The Good Lord was smiling on me when I was set down on Earth for that decade. The WWII Generation had survived the Great Depression and a World War (neither of which they caused) and were ready to enjoy life. Backyard BBQs, big comfy chrome encrusted powerful cars, Googie architecture with never ending neon lights. McDonald's and Mexican fast food joints, rock and roll, Schwinn bicycles, every flavor soft drink you could think of and of course drive in's and movie theaters with snack bars. They smoked everywhere, whenever they wanted and drank alcoholic beverages at the drop of a hat. They had been choked off from life's enjoyments and by golly this was their time. They earned it through blood, sweat and tears. Glad to have been in tow to partake of those wonderful years. Thank you for this marvelous visit to a happy past.
GarynessGaming18 Face it, the "butter" used in movie theater popcorn nowadays has the same chemical composition as Armor All car cleaner. I could be wrong. 🤓
Hey Lee! I love this! Is there anyway you’d be willing to allow me to use this video for a project I’m working on! It’s so cool and I would love to share with others!

Ah, the Olde Days, when everything was Delicious and Nutritious, because it's crispy sweet refreshing, have one now. not like today where most food is poison and will kill you if you eat too much of it
I love how these old cheesy films still succeed at making me hungry
Means they work :)
I don't know why, but I f--king love these things!
Peter, I'll wager that is the reaction of most of the people lucky enough to be aware that videos of the things can be watched here.

Me too!!💖💖
Because that was cool, that's why.
I recognize the announcer on some of those ads. It sounds like Don Messick, who did a lot of voice work for Hanna-Barbera Studios.
Whoever it was sure had a great voice.

Looks like you are right I never heard of you in my life

Yeah, because portions were smaller and people were physically active too. I noticed all the "junk" food on these drive in adds including burgers, candies, hot dogs, sodas, hot chocolate, and ice cream and it seems that obesity wasn't anywhere near the deal then.
Wonder when they stopped making "freshly prepared sandwiches" at the Drive-In? 🥙
I really love watching these intermissions!
Candy brand candy, my favorite!
How i wished i visited a Drive-in movie during my lifetime...Thanks for the memories!
Anyone else ever notice that the actual food at the snack bar NEVER looked like it did on the screen?? LOL

Yup
yeah but dine in theaters do. its like a restaurant. you order the food they deliver before showtime and you watch while you eat

It’s 2:30 in the morning and I just made myself popcorn because of this...
Wow. I remember this so well. I saw it so many times that I thought I would never want to see it again, but here I am enjoying the hell out of it. Thanks for uploading it.
Extra crispy crinkle fries are the absolute best
Yum...😋🍟
I went out and bought a crinkle cutter for homemade fries.
Was waiting for Miss Minutes to pop up and scare you
The golden age of movies!
I love these. These were my favorite part of going to the drive-in! Now I want yo go to the theater here in Glendale!
this is how Drive-in makes there money back then with all that food.
KHWendy28 Nice pic of my ride, the TARDIS. 🙃
That's how theaters make money now, there's an almost 1300% markup on popcorn alone.

There's still a drive in up in Maine that I try and get to at least a couple times each summer.

no sorry
Then what?
I’m using it right now
This vídeo was so nostalgic ! The cinema i like very much 😘
Subscribed and liked and having a Lunch or Snack time in a Fanfiction,intermission.
I'm sure that first one was made to be played in a regular indoor theater anyway, though I wouldn't be surprised if drive-ins had it anyway.
Ever notice how much smaller the portion sizes are for popcorn and drinks?
early 60s ads saying coke makes you thin doesnt help either!!
In Germany they had the idea for the slogan "Take a break, drink Coca Cola", this was pretty bad for factories, who doesn't want additional breaks.
im hungry now...
...and yet there was no obesity "epidemic" until 50 years later. O_o
The advertisments had finally taken their toll, lol.
These have been recomended to me and i dont mind
I wish I could go to a drive in theater! Everything on the concession menu looks so mouthwatering!
