- Excellent film about a typical day in modern kitchen. Mom is "operations chief" - she creates and prepares in the kitchen.
We digitized and uploaded this film on behalf of the Prelinger Archives. Email us at footage@avgeeks.com if you have questions about the footage and are interested in using it in your project.
Is it my imagination or does every announcer from 1940-1980 sound like the same guy?
It's because of the microphones and studio equipment from that era
I love the microphone voices from that era. I need me a mic like that
The same guy or a few of the same guys did these videos and announcements for years.
Mijita Chula also noteworthy from that era is the "transatlantic accent," which is so identifiable when you hear it
Music is the same too 😂
Mom must have gotten up at 5 am to tease all that hair and get that make-up just right.
I used to do that back in my days
That was done at the beauty shop once a week, usually a standing appointment for women of certain age or era.
@@msr1116 Yup, I remember my mom going down to the Beauty shop to get her hair " Set "... Wasn't until I got a job working for a concrete contractor that the term " Set " hit home...
@@craigslistrro709 .....Speaking of "setting", hairspray when first invented required a solvent to be removed from hair. Much like oil-based paint is dissolved from brushes or rollers.
Ah, memories, how they light the corners of a Boomer's mind...
In 1968 I was 14. I recall sleepless nights laying there with a headful of hair rollers, their hundreds of tiny spines digging into my tortured scalp, just listening to my Baby Ben alarm clock tick the seconds of the night away...
Then arriving in the Girls'Room before first period, my hair a 6 inch high lacquered helmet putting on heavy black eyeliner and rolling our skirts up 4 or 5 times - and sneaking a couple of puffs on a cigarette. All the teachers knew we smoked. I didn't know of one adult who didn't smoke. Some people actually smoked WHILE they were eating. Put THAT on your PizzaPizza!
I love how they just sit there like they are in a restaurant.
Yea yea when I saw the whole table I was like..wait where are they sitting xDD
Una feminista va a ver esto y se le va a safar un tornillo
@@MsCorune jaja no pero el dice la verda pq no pueden ayudar un poco a la mujer
@@MsCorune ?
@@valentinaalaniz2069 El chiste es porque la mujer hace todo el laburo en casa y los demás esperan tranquilos a que le sirvan la comida como si ellos mismo no pueden hacerlo y parecen estar en un restaurante donde hay una mesera que se encarga de eso. Muestra a la mujer como "la dueña de la casa" "la encarga de las cosas domésticas porque es mujer" etc. En fin, el machismo.
Imagine waking up everyday cooking for someone who can’t even pour their own coffee

This's the life of rich family in 60's
Just Fin Are you bitter? Ungrateful? Could it be that you have no love in your heart, because you're a Relativist and the world doesn't center upon you as you think it should? You're holding in your hand right now a device that contains more technologies than all the devices shown in this film combined, yet I would bet you're not rich. So go get a nice Cold drink out of your fridge and be thankful you live in AMERICA.
Russell Gay LMAOOOO
@@russellgay9442 chiiillll, I do think op meant it in a bitter way but it isnt that deep hahah
Depending on the country. Where I am from, my grandmother tell stories of how they didn’t really care about kitchen stuff because they had many house maids, and most of the technology was meant to help housewives
yes it is.
Ok when she started dancing with the refrigerator in a white dress, I just lost it right then 😂😂😂
MisterHot Me, too! I've seen it all now.
Lol hahah were u high?
I wonder how often people in the 60s moved their fridge.
What? C'mon, everyone does the Space Walk dance with their fridge on Saturday nights, right? It's a tradition, for almost 60 years, now.
Me too!
This is a commercial for Frigidaire. Hardly a day in the life but still interesting to see all the appliances. That would have been a rich family to have all that, I think.
Toni MP was thinking the same thing....not everyone could have had all those “modern conveniences”...
Yes, and to serve that bacon every morning, they'd have to be. Sometimes we'd just get buttered toat and a glas of OJ during the week.....but bacon?
Must have been Christmas morning every day in THAT house
I think they are just middle class cuz of they were rich they'd have maids
Middle class. Back then house furnishings and appliances could be bought on store credit accounts. In an average home the gadgets might have been on time payments. If they were upper middle class or rich there would likely have been a maid.
Everything in my kitchen is frigidaire
For a second I thought the little girl was putting on some beats headphones
Same
Oh my goodness, ha ha. How far we have come.
I KNOW I WAS LIKE WHAATTTTT😂😂😩
I thought the same thing but It was a headband besides they didn't have beats headphones in the 1960' s
Same here
The boy picked up his mess while the man just left his there for the wife to clean up. What a bum. I get that there was a different mindset but damn, he couldn't even be bothered to save his wife a few steps after she waited on him like a restaurant waitress? Geez. 😵
For real dude.
My grandfather was a husband and father of multiple kids in this era, and very hard working at a difficult job, but he not only cleaned up after himself, he also enjoyed cooking (in fact he did the roasts and turkeys on holidays) and mopped and waxed the floor every friday night!
My Mom has fond memories of him letting them "ice skate" in socks when he was done.
His parents raised him right!
I am an at-home mom/housewife. Because my husband takes good care of me, I take care of him when he is home. The standard for my kid is different: I do not pick up after children. When was recovering from illness, my husband did EVERYTHING at home for nearly a month. I would never begrudge picking up after him because most of the time he picks up after himself. :-)
@@John-ik2eg It's no longer just a "woman's job" Men are, and have, started to become stay at home dads and taking care of and cleaning the house. Traditional gender roles are breaking and now becoming more balanced and neutral whether you like it or not. There is not going to be a return to the old ways no matter how much you want it. It will always be relegated to just your fantasies.
@@ARedMagicMarker 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I agree with this rant, it was well written and thought out. I am too tired to come up with something like this but what came to my mind is I think men like this really just want a "mommy" because they were coddled by their mothers who always cleaned up after them, or, they are men who resented their mothers for some reason. Maybe she forced them to clean up after themselves and they resent that because they are too lazy and would rather play video games all day?
@Corporate Coffee Futures I don't even think they want a "mommy." As much as they crap on mothers in any era (especially any and all single ones who are single/widowed/alone for ANY reason), and how much they tease anyone for being "mommy's little man". Back int he day when these doped up housewives were the norm, these guys never appreciated it, now that those days are over, they're crying. How funny that the second the "inferiors" step out, and stop playing maid, cook, nanny and warm-hole, civilization as we know it is threatened, everything comes unglued and the sky starts to fall. I thought we weren't important and everything we do, they can do better. I thought when that happened, we all totally get on welfare, pop out 5 kids and are raised/wifed up by the state, not making us their problem or "wifestitute" anymore. So they should get on it then, and zip their yaps that are clearly long overdue for an arrangement with a golf club or a folding chair.
Nah, it's gotta be something else, though you're right at the same time. They want a mommy who is that kind of mommy who puts up with their sons telling them to "shut up" in the gaming store because mom doesn't want to buy their 11 year old an "M" rated game. Or that mommy who lets him eat Taco Bell every other night and tells his girlfriend to clean up after him (those mothers are a real thing). Then again, I'm not going to sit up here and pretend like I understand guys like this, because I just don't, and I keep reminding myself daily that men are not a hivemind who think absurdly this way. No AMALT, if you will, because that's just not fair. It's not fair when it's done to us, it's not fair when it's done to them. All I know is that guys like that are *no* good for my health, and it is in my best interest to stay as far away from them as humanely possible. In modern times, I find that if men like that are calling reasonable guys with brains and basic human empathy and decency cucks, simps, soyboys, and other lovely schoolyard taunts from their great big book of Slur Shaming, then those are the guys you want to go for. At least you'll have some peace and someone you will actually take your interests and wants and thoughts into consideration, and they'll actually be who you want to hang out with, legit fall in love with, or start a life with.
Wait electric fridge doors? Lmao where’s this stuff today?
These fools had better shit then us 😆
I grew up in the '50s we didn't have an electric fridge like that, nor did anyone else's mom have one that I knew of
and drawers..
I was looking for this comment!
They had more money than we do.
Moms cooking that 20 lb hunk of meat with no seasoning and the kids are dropping acid in the next room !!
Haha! Looked like half a cow.
😆
Hhahaaha wtf
"seasoning" was seen as 'ethnic' and low class. If you had to 'season' your food, you were buying inferior quality food, in the view of Americans at the time.
3506Dodge honestly, a really good steak tastes great without seasoning. Ham was already “seasoned”, by a ton of salt, and sugar was added. Chicken was baked, so fat was very flavorful. To this day, the lower quality meat I get, the more I have to mask that with flavors and seasonings.
Everybody's having breakfast lunch and dinner except for the "home maker"
I don’t think anyone should eat until the homemaker has joined them
She's eating pills
She's probably the new Frigidaire Homemaker 3000 robot.
Having a homemaker used to be an upper middle class luxury itself. In many urban families in the 20's and 30's around here, mom would work a menial job as a servant, perform some other service job or do cottage industry. Someone has to empty latrines. I think these people are starting to dream of having more of the upper middle class lifestyle become available to them.
I don't know how this lady did it...my mom was still in curlers and housecoat, and having her first cig of the day while stirring instant coffee and making toast...
... to dip into a glass of Tang, powdered instant "orange juice" invented for astronauts.
Especially the one with the purple helmet on 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂💯
She just never slept. I mean the lady in the clip. LOL
that sounds poetic
Dam that was a nice fridge for that time
Right? My fridge looks more ancient than that.
Automatic ice maker still a half century away ... .
I know! That must have been the rolls Royce of refrigerators back then. We didn’t have an automatic ice maker until the early 2000s!
I was thinking that myself.
Huge.
I was 9 years old when our new house was finished being built. It was honestly a showplace and I can testify that Mama was never seen without her hair and makeup done and dressed nice. It wasn't until I grew up and saw "The Stepford Wives" that I ever questioned her as to how she kept our house spotless and did all of the things she did. She smiled and told me that the doctor had given her little pills that "perked" her up. That's when everything fell into place...great figure, spotless house, great meals and all of the entertaining she and daddy did. It's amazing she admitted it to me and even more amazing that she had managed to stop the drugs. Still, I'm proud of all she accomplished then and later when she went back to school and became the administrator of a nursing home. She was a go getter even without pills. RIP Mama.
Not to denigrate your mom it was great how she was able to get off the pills but my mom was all anyone could ask for... kind of spoiled me though when I got to college I didn't know how to use a washing machine
@@margaretbriefs7347 I'm guessing you did learn though so congrats.
Awwww I loved your comment. What an incredible woman your Mama must have been! By the way, did you ever find out what those little magic pills were? I can't believe some of the the "medicines" that were so readily prescribed back in those days. Whatever it was, it must have been hell to get off, so that says a lot about the strength and determination that she clearly had. 😊
@@KelleyBroussardMackaig All I remember about the pills is that Mama later said they were why she had so much trouble sleeping. Basically her entire circle of friends were doing them also. Thinking back to those days gives me such a sense of nostalgia. Tupperware parties, church get togethers, birthday parties, Christmas parties, their friends coming over every week to play dominos, trips. There was always something happening which seemed exciting to me as a kid. Ah, the good old days.
@Kelly Broussard doctors still prescribe those “little happy pills” easily. Especially military doctors who don’t tell the military spouses the side affects to keep them sedated so that the soldiers can keep doing their job and the wives can keep supporting them at home.
Mom looks more like a poised flight attendant floating around business class.
Still waiting for my electric door!

I think those teenagers were tripping on LSD.
Hahaha true

Just saw it again and i cant stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣
What's up with the space helmets? LOL
@@swali1652 hell yeah😂I have tears in my eyes😂😂😂😂lmfao😂😂😂
Damn, those two can't even look up to say "thank you"? Some behavior, seems more like a diner than a home kitchen.
That divider does not help either. Why is it even there? Makes the mom seem separate from the rest of the family. As if she's just the maid, cook and waiter. It's as if they cannot be bothered with watching the process of preparing the food. Rather watch white divider...
Today they'd be gawking at cell phones, I suppose
Joe Kaplowitz Which explained why Mother burned her bra in the ‘70’s and divorced dear old Dad
Housewivery back then was completely thankless. Now that it's so "rare" (and for a reason), and all the wimminz have gotten "lazy" and don't want to do the shit anymore if they don't want to, the guys want them back in the kitchen. Most didn't appreciate it then, and it's glaringly obvious in old media like this.
Oh well, there's not a thing bachelors or bachelorettes cannot buy these days, and that includes service tasks.
@@ARedMagicMarker Its not that the wimminz has gotten lazy. Its that the wimminz now have full time jobs--and generally have to, bevause our economy has changed so much since the 50s.
I miss the days when I could dance around my kitchen with my frig.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
And I think she was vacuuming under the fridge too.
I am old enough to remember the man's voice. But, my mom didn't float around like that. 🙄
Wow, Bonnie! There's no seat for Mom!! Two chairs?? lol What if you have 5 kids!! lol
@@sugarfalls1 ....Mom couldn't sit down, even for a second....because she was being run ragged as the unpaid servant-caregiver of the family. It's no wonder those ladies were always exhausted by day's end.
People were happier then.
@@donnav7103 you are possessed by demons!
@@donnav7103 yeah sexism racism and no mental care for the ladies
These people must have had mad money because my parents had NONE of this!
Mine did not, either. My parents kept an apartment for over 25 years. The gadgets in the kitchen were small ones and mom bought new furniture, etc., on time payments.
We lived exactly like this. Always a dinosaur in the oven. A dishwasher, ......
Your parents didnt have toasters.
@@shawnmichaelduncan5951 no my parents toasted bread on a pan on the stove. Sorry that I was too poor for you to understand
Hell, I don't even have a ice maker...
For those of you who are mystified who that guy was at the beginning, he's called a father.
Yes and parents actully did raise their children properly. Kids knew what the word respect actully means. Now a days its sad teachers quitting thier jobs because now a days it seems parent's cant control their kids.
😮I've only seen them in movies😅
@@purpleflowers92 The problem is parents nowadays are too concerned with being their children's BFFs instead of raising them to be upstanding adults.

Thank goodness for those lovely homemakers, they don’t get enough credit for all their efforts and work.
Agreed. Thats probably why a lot of women dont want to do it anymore. No appreciation. 😢
The party goers got into the "scientifically controlled brownies" that mom munches on throughout her day..
Lol!

I just died laughing at your comment.
This brings me back to my childhood with my mom in the kitchen. I miss those days. They were calm and comforting. Never thought society would become so bizarre today.
I know...
It was pretty damn bizarre then…
@@Multiversetraveler93No it wanst now a days kids are spoild back in the days kids knew what the word respect means . Now a days teachers are crying quitting their teaching jobs thanks to spoiled brants . Back in tbe day dad work and mom stay home raising the kids.
@purpleflowers92 nah. Moms worked then too. Only moms with money could afford to stay home
My mom didn't play that shit, EVERYONE in my family cooked, cleaned, and we all knew basic skills to enter into the work force. You don't do anyone any favors by enabling their laziness.
she WILL play that shit if she ain't working at least 40h a week
Jose, I love your mother's attitude. That's the way it should be. ❤👌🌹
@@teabag1829 Yup, we got a control freak on the loose.
Is it any wonder housewivery is falling out of favor with women?
@@teabag1829 and she probably is, so what's your point?
@ Tea Bag a housewife works 24/7. Thankless and unpaid job. She doesn’t even get social security for retirement and is at the mercy of her husband if he divorce her. And back then she was expected not to complain. It’s no wonder many left the kitchen if they are married to someone like you
This video is soooo calming. I want to sleep now, thank you mister.
These were promotional ads and didn’t reflect what most people had in their homes. The appliances were aspirational. When we moved from the city to the suburbs in 1963, the selling point of the home was coppertone appliances including an automatic dishwasher. Very advanced but unfortunately it leaked.
We had a coppertoned kitchen in 1964. I loved it and wish they would bring back that look.
We moved in 1962 to a home with a dishwasher that we were told didn't work. It was my sisters and my job to do the dishes, alternating nights. I found out later when I was an adult that the dishwasher never was broken. My mom just didn't trust it to get her dishes clean.
@@exluvah That's an important part about these commercials. They're trying to talk people who have never had these appliances available (and most likely won't afford all of them). That's what makes them interesting.
A lot of these old infomercials from people like the fish promotion council and others have recurring arguments. Affordable, nutritious, convenient. They represent different branches competing for the same hungry families. I read one where the sugar council or something argues that sugar is the most affordable calories around.
@@johnnyvalter940 The state services here had a campaign where they looked at how kitchens were built. How many steps does a person need to take, which height is best for a sink, how does ventilation work. A lot of that became the foundation for how kitchens still look.
The new dance was called "too much weed".
Louis Caruso U R correct .
Hahahaha, so that was the secret to the good old days. Slip something into your teenager's food or drinks & let them float around on a permenant high.
Seems legit
more like Mommy's Little Helpers in the medicine cabinet.
Lol to true
Love how she cleaned the fridge with the vacuum all in high heels too! Lol.
Paul Monroe So true, my mother never went shopping in the sixties and seventies without dressing up. In the sixties it meant hat and gloves too!

I’m actually shocked they had this sort of technology back then.
Scott H ....now there’s useless screens. This stuff is better than what we have now!...🤦♀️🤷♀️
It was available much earlier as well, but this is when it starts to become available for households and even lower-class consumers. You can get an appliance on a payment plan.
@@roxanaconception These guys would have loved a microwave oven. They'd been all over it.
@@SusCalvin the existed but we’re still extremely costly.
LOL... It's not 1920.
Well, we sure didn't have a kitchen like that growing up in the late 50's and early 60's. Never had a roast that big either. We didn't have a dishwasher or a separate freezer either. Mom didn't look like June Cleaver and dad worked two jobs. This is fantasy land!
Also known as "white upper middle class in the 50s and 60s", I guess
I remember thin round steak was a delicacy at my house only served on sunday
@@Lisaj4431 all the good jobs abruptly moved away from our area when my Mom and her siblings were small, and her Dad went abruptly from a recent promotion and great raise, to literally walking the streets looking for day work. My Mom says for a few years they frequently scrubbed potatoes and made homemade French fries and then used them to make "french fry sandwiches" for dinner. Once in a while he'd find good work, come in late and wake them up to eat a better meal.
It's a commercial, of course it's fantasy land. But I still envy you growing up in those times
Hah! I guess so. Back in the day when "Leave it To Beaver" weren't reruns and my sixth grade teacher would bring a black and white TV to class so we could watch the Mercury Launches from Cape Canaveral. In retrospect, those were great times.
I want to learn more about the teenager’s “earthly needs.”
LMAO
Omg. I love the amount of times space was mentioned or physically referenced. They would've thought in this day and age we'd have like a 711 and a space shuttle car station on the Moon by the time the 21st century rolled around. And yet we have flatearthers.....

How do you interpret the comment as jerky? I'm simply adding what it is I'm actually doing here at home on a Saturday night. I assure you my contribution had no malice! Virginia stated what she was doing so I decided to state my activity too. I agree with your response to her.
@@msr1116 Well then I apologise for assuming and being rude. I am sorry.
Love the art of how Homemakers were considered “Household Operational Managers”. Not to mention organized, beautiful and glamorous scientists in the kitchen. Most family and friends activities’ took place there, instead of at restaurants.
It was also the time when the microwave was not the most utilized appliance in the kitchen. Stoves and ovens actually got a daily workout.
msr111 haha. Very true!!
Now because of woke/far-left ideology, people think even having a family is bad, never mind being the 'mother goose' that looks after everyone
@@Dagoth_Ur_1 sadly, true...
Those dish washers actually worked back then. Now we have to do extreme prewashing with racks falling loose every time you add something. Back then they were power houses.
Right? My parents have had way too many dishwashers. The last one we had was one of the worst I've ever seen. Crud and dirt would get all over the glasses. It was disgusting. Even the one they have now sometimes they aren't perfect.
Because the old ones didn't have EPA water restrictors on them. Same with showers and toilets now. Nothing works now cuz of the low water usage laws.
I liked this. I especially liked how advanced everything was for this point in time. I bet this stuff was not in the "average" home, but those who were well to do. I still feel these old presentations can teach you proper manners too. It is interesting how the kitchen was arranged, I don't know if I would do mine the same way. Thank you for sharing this. God Bless You & stay safe.
Yes abd back in the day parents actully did teach their kis maners.
I love watching video's like this, makes me feel like I'm time traveling

In love with that counter/sink design
3:55 she’s dancing with a refrigerator...hit the red wine a bit early that day did she?
Mom does all those chores, including vacuuming, in a white dress, white high heels and impeccable hairdo. Impressive.
Under PERFECT control... God no wonder half these women were on speed.
And doctors handed out Valium like candy. 🍬
Adderall was originally a weight loss drug.
She had me showing off her dance moves with the refrigerator, and that $90.00 roast in the oven... Where do I get one of those cool space helmets?
At your local Halloween store which should be up right about now
Why were only the girls wearing them?
What kind of futuristic robot shit is this. Fam my kitchen in 2019 ain’t this nice😂
It's called a commercial for Frigidaire.
YOOOO
At least Jr puts his plate in the sink not like hubby
wow this was so groovy! i love her home it's so modern and beautiful
I appreciate my mom and dad for everything they have done for us.
My mom always cooked breakfast. And she always dressed up and her hair and nails were always done. My dad always helped her with the chores. And they really loved each other.
I'm 43 and grew up in the 80s; both my parents worked. I sometimes wish i'd had my mom stay at home. When I got married (at 23) and had my kids (26 and 29) I was able to stay home with them wjen they were little. Im like the wife in this video... And i know many women will hate me for it and think I'm a slave. But honestly, I loved staying home and spoiling my family. My husband can make his own coffee and pour it and make himself a couple of things to eat. But i used to cook all 3 meals, drop off and pick kids from school, go to all their plays and holiday parties. My husband is a railroad conductor so when he'd come home after being gone a few days I always had a fresh, hot meal waiting for him and he sat while I served him. No, he didnt demand it or get mad if i happened to not make anything etc, but i just felt/feel of my husband was working such a tiring job, he should come home to a clean house, hot meal and kids well taken care of. I work a flexible job now and kids are 13 and 17... I still do a lot around the house. But when I'm at work and my hubby is home he cleans the house for me. Unfortunately he doesnt cook but it's ok I usually already have a meal plan. Anyway, every family has their way of living and I enjoy mine which is why I like this commercial lol
The dessert with the cherry on top and the wafer cookies on the side was some crazy creation.
What the hell is that screen between counter and kitchen
Its called a screem
A fusion bacon grease splatter catcher, and optical divider so that the menfolk reading their morning newspapers aren't distracted nor made to feel guilty by the sight of the Lady of the House continually toiling afoot to prepare their meal in shinsplint creating, toe deforming pointy toed, spiked high heels.
JudgeJulieLit the men couldn’t be bothered to put the dishes in the sink.
It's a privacy screen meant to give one the feeling they're in another room and yet again no...and says I, well, LA-DEE-DA!
In my mother's mothers highly equipped state-of-the-art kitchen of the 1960s, 2 year old 'me' emptied the cabinet below the space-saving in-the-wall oven and crawled inside - one of my most favorite games ...vivid memories on that.
Damn that fridge door opens with just a touch! I didn't know they had that then (or now?) Just last night I had my hands full from gathering up the condiments from making BLT's and I was just thinking, "if that fridge door would just open itself". I could really use that feature on my fridge darn it.
Don't be surprised to see voice-activated fridge and oven doors with a built-in Alexa type device.
"ALEXA OPEN THE FRIDGE DOOR!"" :D
When i was young i thought they ussed to see in black and white 😒😂
Shut uppppp I thought the same thing my brother said I was just stupid and dumb lollllll
Omg me too
😂😂😂😂😂perks of being kid..
It sure must have been an upper upper class home to afford all of those appliances!
no it was middle class and it was very good
that was the company's vision for people not the actors who portrayed the family shersh
@@lindarosestahl1734 I grew up middle-class and my parents couldn't afford that stuff... Even people whose parents made more money than mine didn't have any of that stuff. Marketing gimmicks.
that's why both my parents worked so my sister and I could have this life.exc u u use me
it was the company's vision of what this should be not what was rral
"Allright, Suzie! You can be the delivery lady from Mars!" WTF???
It's called having an IMAGINATION. as a child did you not have an IMAGINATION/pretend. Stfu
It reminds me of Grandma's house in the 70's
3:30 I have never seen a fridge stocked so full. That's incredible
I'm not a pot smoker, but I feel I just lit a doobie.

Appliances like that today would equal 400.00 power bill
Even window a/c units were energy hogs. We had a Westinghouse unit that required a 220 line that resulted in a $109 elec bill like 50 years ago. Probably ten times what the bill usually was for one month.
I believe some were gas
My mom is 72 and my grandmother passed down her stove from the 1940s . Im 30 year old now and it works fantastic .My parents never had the need to shop for a new kitcheb appliance.
3:47 "Mom's off her meds. She's dancing with the refrigerator again!"
Our kitchen was about one third the size of this one. But the food my Mom prepared was so good. I have not tasted a better apple pie ever. She could cook a stick and it would have been good. Miss her.
Do we still find product informationals like this? I'd watch them if more companies today would put out more lengthy-ish films like these for their products.
Some companies and users put product tutorial videos on CZcams.
girl have you seen those infomercials that come on at 4 am 😭
They do for more niche items like inflatable tents.
I feel you
A couple years back, Cornell put out a video about how glass would be used in the future. It was like everything was one big iPad. You could touch your glass countertop and video call someone and you could move it from one place to another. There were other things, but I'm too lazy to look it up.
I was born in the late 50s. I don’t remember any of this stuff! I was friends with kids all up and down the block. Everyone had kitchen tables. Our moms stayed home and took care of the house and kids. Mom woke up early and fixed breakfast for Dad before he went to work. I sure don’t remember a fridge you could hook a vacuum up to and dance across the kitchen with! We had the metal ice trays your hands would get stuck to.
I swear that these short films make people from the 1950s and 1960s look like extreme kitchen enthusiasts.
That looks like a badass party.
Also, it seems some of these appliances were better than what we have now.
ccrosbie33 I still have a 1962 Westinghouse fridge, I swore I would only buy a new one once it dies, but it won’t.
😆👍👽
I remember that guy's voice. I'm in my sixties so got to see an awful lot of cool stuff like this ...... right. We made fun of these videos when we were kids also.
When life was alot better then nowdays.
Love this atmosphere and enthusiasm
Just gorgeous.
I like how the father takes a half second sip of coffee every 3 seconds.
Why are these kinds of videos so satisfying?!
I love to see videos like this it reminds me how much my grandma tell me all about these day and how it was.😄
I see she's dancing the walz with the refrigerator lol 😂
Milk Man was unavailable.
She needs to Pinterest..... how to cone shape ice cream ❤️
😂
Probably put it into an icecream cone shaped thing that is rlly smooth, turn it upside down and give it a few good whacks.
And an Etsy store to sell her "art".
Thank you for the history.
WHY is there a wall separating the family from the server, er, I mean mom? This is a family meal, not a diner!
Why, of course there's a wall, it wouldn't do Father any good to see the servant - er, I mean, Mother - flitting about in the messy kitchen right before he leaves for his Big Important Job. Why, such a disturbance might ruin his day!
Alex A Well there HAS to be some area for him to get to her so he can backhand her when she inevitably gets the order wrong. She IS a woman after all. Complex order taking is a very demanding task for the females.
do you think she wants to watch her family disgustingly gorge down their food before running out the door? that screen is there to protect her from the splatter and flying cutlery.
Y'all-

What ?🤨
What strong woman...a household of respect and meaning.. nowdays us homemakers struggle because home economics Is no longer a subject at school to study so when we get married all the work Is a Surprise...and we dont thrive because of silly ideas put into out heads...nice times
I love that kitchen... For people my age seeing the decor from that era makes me feel like going home lol.
All this is amazing 🤩
Poor mother didn't appear to leave the kitchen all-day while dad never appears to lift a finger to help
nothing has changed
Johnny Boyd he made up for it in the bedroom
Because he was too busy lifting a finger at his job and baring the financial burden of the whole family. You pathetic soy boy.
This life feels soo robotic, kinda reminds me of sims lol
It's both because it is a commercial with actors playing a household, and because everyone is still expected to dress fancy for a TV shoot. Everyone is always a little more fancy than necessary on set.
Very indictive of what Mom's were supposed to be in the day. June Cleaver comes to mind. Having lived through that period, perception and reality was way differant.
Very Stepford.
I don't remember family life like this in the 60s. Nothing was this perfect.
Beautiful family. 👍
I don't understand how a kitchen from 1960 is more futuristic than my kitchen in 2022!!!
Things were a little different with me growing up in the 60's.Mom would get up in a bathrobe and fuzzy slippers,bust a fart,pick her nose,scratch her ass,light up a Viceroy cigarette and make coffee for Pop and Tang for us kids.Then she made scrambled eggs and chopped some hot dogs in it.After that we were off to school and Pop went to work.
With everyone gone Mom would drop some bennies("To lose weight") and park her ever expanding kiester on the couch to watch Soap Operas.
Around 3 we kids would come home from school.Mom would say "Go pick out what you want to eat!"So we headed to the freezer to grab a Swanson TV dinner.I liked the fried chicken,my brother the salisbury steak,my sister didn't give a shit one way or the other,and we pulled out turkey for pop 'cause that was his favorite.
Pop would come home at 5:15 EXACTLY.When he started to mention the rough day he had at work Mom would tell him to "STFU and wash up for dinner".
We ate in the living room without much conversation."Bewitched" or some other thought provoking show was on and interruption was forbidden.But during a commercial (I think a tiny team of horses was pulling a bag of dog chow across the floor) I told Mom I got an "A" in math.She sarcastically said "GOOD.Maybe you won't scrub out toilets for a living like your father".Pop just sat there in his perpetual clueless state.
Anyway I'm glad to see the aluminum helmets stayed in vogue.Can't be having Martians taking over our brains!
Man I can relate to that scenario. Well told
I am crying here! You should be a comedy writer. Your depictions were so spot on, especially the Swanson TV dinners. My brother and I loved the ones with the soup! The chicken was the best. Oven time took 45 minutes, then for the last 15, you had to take the foil off the potatoes! Your memories are hilarious!! Thanks for the laughs!!!
This made my day.
a1orski WoW great story !
I like your mom.
Grew up watching these neat little films in school
Life is indeed different these days. I wake up at 5am, shower and get pretty before stepping out for an hour drive that will take me to work. I'm so glad I don't have to stay home and be somebody's maid.
Believe it or not this is the kind of stay at home mom I try to be. Organized, Well put together and always chipper. I fail MISERABLY and feel weirdly guilty about it.
littlean24 I have news for you you are not failing stop feeling guilty
Thanks 😎
Don't feel guilty for being there to raise your kids. My neighbor stays at home, one in school and one starting preschool. I commended her for taking on the hardest full time job there is...and the only one with fabulous future rewards. Too many messed kids for almost three generations now who weren't regularly, properly guided through life's stages.
msr111- thats very kind of you to say. Genuinely thank you.
littlean24....... Your welcome! 😁😁😁😁
For a minute I was confused like wait what she's got headphones? 😂 1:47 then I realized it was her headband
I hope the parents are still alive and are happy grandparents. Were there is life there is Hope.
These are relaxing videos!!
Hands down, the biggest chuck roast I have ever seen. #flinstones for sure. She carried it so easily, too. Had to be a solid 15lbs.
What will it look like after 14 hours in that oven?
I think she needed a dry rub, or something.
