This dinner table
It was a table that witnessed kids growing up, holiday dinners, and a lot of laughs and love.
This exact sink
The sink where kids learned to wash the dishes.
Mom’s favorite
Everyone just waited for her to call out supper.
That classic sound
You can hear it just by looking at this photo too.
It wasn’t a spare
Cars really did come with 2 keys back then.
Go play something
Hit a button before getting your order.
Old Spice
Grandpas and dads shared the same scent over the years.
Anyone remember what this was for?
Had to stay away when the bullies were around.
Open wide
Kids had no choice then anyway, so it was get better or stay sick.
Hold the right end
This thing worked great if you knew how to use it.
The burn was real
It toughened up a lot of people.
Liver and onions
Pretty sure liver causes more division than onions.
If you know where to find these
If you don’t, ask dad or grandpa.
That cha-chunk sound
And even if the power’s out, you can use this baby for that card.
Cola wars
But really, these things could cut.
One hand on the wheel
Try to get a station while shifting a manual transmission on the steering column while holding the wheel steady.
Taters got hurt
Manual mashing which got kids helping grandma in the kitchen.
They still work too
Aside from looking vintage and cool, that color is pretty unique as well.
Another photo you can smell
These were really fun too, according the people who had one, of course.
Imagine driving one of these
Not going to lie, this would be really cool today.
From an ancient civilization
People would form lines for what hung on these.
By the phone
There was a dedicated spot in homes for a phone on a table with a chair that had these.
In a jiff
You always loved the way these blew up to size.
Play that record
Then set the desired speed yourself with this.
Colorful language incoming
Even the nicest, most innocent learned to swear.
Found by the freezer door
The foil, the ding dong express, grandma ready to hand out some.
They used to give these away
Blocks of cheese filled hungry tummies from morning to evening.
Or two, or three
Especially when family or friends came around.
Grandpa or dad knows
The good old dimmer switch now found on the left stalk by the steering column.
For the ladies
Makeup mirror and lighting, perfect for a touch up wherever.
Cold as can be
You had to remember to take it off when you wanted to drink soon.
Make a copy
Use the putty to make a copy of whatever’s funny.
Teachers will recall
The nicest, straightest lines on that chalkboard.
Would burn your butt
But that didn’t matter if your friends were with you.
Gigantic TV sets
Took a few strong men to lift and move these bad boys.
Classic looking walls
They looked especially nice with holiday decor.
Cars were once tanks
They were heavy and solid, no wonder kids then were so strong.
This carpet
It gave off a certain smell too.
That carpet in this room
Including those couches, lamps, and everything else you see.
Good on a hot summer day
Though people are divided by the taste.
These could be worth something today
Kids were so spoiled for toys back in the day.
For more sun
Moms and the neighbors would be out at a certain time.
We need this back
And not for the kids. It’s for us adults.
Pops so good
People saved the empty tubes to make binoculars, to watch the little boats made out of the push thing and a triangle of paper.
An alarm that received one too many hits
But it did work most of the time, especially on holidays.
Summer parties were lit
A blender and a soda of some kind combined with these were all you needed.
Contained film… mostly
People got creative with their storage problems.
Everybody sit and be quiet
Some kids took this as the signal to get to bed, while others got to watch with dad.
Could you though?
Another moment for dads and grandpas to flex their stuff.
The go to beverage
And these could pack a punch if you weren’t careful.
A real treat
With everything on top, and we mean everything.
