Mark Steyn once wrote that if you placed a 40 year old man in a time capsule in 1950, and let him walk out of the capsule in the present day, the first thing he woul say would be, “Why are all the adult males dressed like 12 year old boys”?
Lol! They would think the women were walking around with out pants on, too! Imagine them seeing the tattooed girls, the blue hair and piercings. And what are these candy bars everyone is playing with and talking into?!?
In photos of the 1939 World’s Fair, every male 13 and older is in a suit, tie, and hat.

I think the first thing you’d notice is people smoking. Everywhere. With little to no regard for non-smokers.
Everything smelled like smoke. Airplanes, Buses. Elevators, Waiting rooms, restaurants, Sporting events. It was ‘normal’ and people lit up without a thought.
