Video Description:

A popcorn popper could mean the weekend had begun, and a Polaroid could turn an ordinary moment into something you kept forever. These gadgets were more than machines. They became part of the sounds, routines, and little traditions that made growing up in the 70s and 80s feel so memorable.

    WOW! That really brought back some old memories!

  • Mike S

    Great as always, brings back memories.

  • CharMaine

    Wow. What a trip down memory lane. I did like that Veg-o-Matic. You didn't always use all three blades either. It was a time-saver. I remember all of them and I'm sure some of those are still around somewhere. When you have something that works, you hang on to it. For real! Thanks for posting this Mel. I smiled through the whole thing. :-)

    Fun stuff. I learned how to listen: never over-sharpened the pencil after that. My son was given a computer for his 3rd birthday, and a pager in high school, which was the only number he was allowed to give out. Progress is inevitable; memories are precious.
    Thanks Mel.
