Silly Putty is Forever
Some things do last forever. Silly putty was a hit with the kids in the 1950’s, I played with it as a kid in the 1990’s, and it is still around today.
It just goes to show how the simplest products can produce the greatest pleasure, no matter when they were invented.
Slurp Spam for Supper
Meat in a can, pre-cooked, and made with ham was a staple in every baby boomers’ kitchen for a while.
It was very versatile and was the only canned meat product that didn’t need refrigeration. Is that a good thing?
Can't Move on From Patterned Vests
Three-piece suits include a vest, but at least it is a nice solid color with no pattern. Some vests, however, are meant to be a fashion piece that is worn without a jacket.
Vests are a silly item of clothing with no real function, but patterned ones are truly hideous. There is no human being good-looking enough to pull this one off.
Think Payphone Are In
Some payphones are still around, but most of them are obsolete in an era where everybody has at least one smartphone.
In fact, there are some kids today (gen Zs) that have no idea that phone booths even existed.
Own TVs with Knobs
Can you believe that you used to have to turn a knob to change the channel on the TV?
Luckily, they didn’t have thousands of channels back then.
