Life in the '50s with poodle skirts, soda shops, and doo wop seems so simple and cute now. There was a lot of family time and playing outside. Here's a peek into life in the OLD days.

1
Even back in the old days, they knew the importance of being able to grab a beer and sandwich while watching the tellie

2
A look at what some of our products looked like (look at JIF in a glass jar!)

3
Who knew Listerine made toothpaste!? Wonder why they stopped.
4
Sears. RIP.

5
Hair goo, pink and sticky.
6
Today her on set treatment would have been child abuse
7
Movies actually had an intermission so you could go get more concessions (because they were affordable)

8
Juke boxes played and booths were packed at soda shops after school
9
My mother still has her barbie with the black hair in perfect condition.
10
Every now and then you still see one of these heaters in a bathroom, so warm and wonderful (and dangerous, apparently)

11
I've been told you really wanted her to call your name
12
The old bunnies actually wore ears
13
Another kids show

14
I wish we would have gotten to experience drive ins!
15
These chewy little candies that you still find around Halloween sometimes
16

17
The Patty Duke show, because they're cousins, Identical cousins... Patty and Cathy.
18
These were alive and well
19
And this was a big deal

20
21
Serious business I tell ya
22
And they survived

23
These are still around and still hurt like hell if you step on them
24
25
Kids spent a lot of time doing things like this

26
27
And no one could wait for the newest Twilight Zone
28
Maybe a little wrong there.

29
Another fun fad that continues today
30
Some survived the tests of time (though they look different)
31
And oreo packaging has changed a bit. I miss the boxes that were around even in the '80s
