Added No matter how old you become it's amazing how we remember way back when. I love these videos from Mel, as it brings a smile as I think back in time to a better world.

Added I remember the little x-ray machine you would stick your feet into while wearing the shoes you were trying on to see if they fit.

Added OMGosh, just sent this to my 45 y.o. kid. We are going to have some laughs about this next time we talk -- of this I am certain. Thanks Mel!

Added Step back a bit further:
* they were called "afghans": “Afghan” first appeared in English usage in the late 1700's as a name for the Pashtuns of eastern and southern Afghanistan. That country is known for its distinctive textiles, colorful carpets and lustrous karakul wool, so it's sort of logical that “afghan” was picked up to refer to knitted or crocheted blankets.
* I remember school maps pulled down over chalkboards; made of slate
* those bamboo paper plate holders prevented many a messy accident
* I was rarely sick. When I had to stay home it was always with a book. (We didn't have a TV until I was 5.) Thanks, Mel.

Added At 75 I actually remembered about 95% of all that was shown here. Amazing how things came and went. I sold Tupperware so I really did remember that pitcher was for Lemonade or cold water or even Iced Tea. We had a kitchen phone with the long cord too haha... . Nice seeing all those MEMORABLE things ... Thanks...
