Wow, those are great memories. We still have the hutch, sheet music for the nursing home ministry and a thermos brand mug full of coffee. Some things never change.
It worked great when packed into a film canister.
Most people had a Veg-O-Matic and they still used lard.
My folks had a Western Orange Juice delivery to the house every week. We had a little built-in cupboard next to the side door that the driver would put the new bottle in and remove the used one. I think it cost about $1.85 a week.
60s and 70s were awesome... Far better than today.
Came here to say avocado green and it was in the first sentence.
Read later.
Another popular kitchen item that came about in the 70s was Corelle. My parents and my in-laws had the green blossom pattern. Some of those patterns are worth a lot today!
I still use Corelle, the plain white version. They are so sturdy but if you do break one, you will be cleaning up tiny shards for weeks!
What about the tall glass decanters filled with fruit and alcohol?
He [The milkman] would park his truck at the end of the driveway, and we could hear him whistling as he walked to the door. He would walk right into the kitchen without knocking, while we kids were eating breakfast. He would say hello to everyone, unload the milk, and walk out again. We kids didn’t find it strange at all.
The standard joke would be that he (or the mailman) was the father of at least one of the kids.
All the homes in my neighborhood had milk chutes built into the wall. My brother was kinda scrawny and would get calls from neighbors to scramble through the milk chute to unlock the door from inside when they forgot their keys.
I still use my Rival Crock-Pot that I got in 1976 or 1977, though it’s not the same model as in the photo (the stoneware doesn’t lift out). I still keep it in the original box with the styrofoam inserts, too.
The lard was far better for them than the Crisco!
Same here! I use it mostly at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Or avocado colored hair.
I remember those colors.
The only thing I really liked from the 70s was the music and a few of the movies.
I don’t think I ever saw that
I DID see 33 cents tacos 🌮🌮🌮 at Taco Bell 🔔 in 1978
And my Deluxe Skilcraft Chemistry Lab...
They don’t make them like that anymore.
