There cannot be an honest person alive that can deny life was SO much better then!

Shopping in 1971, listening to music from 1931.

I remember back in the day.. because I'm 62 years old... if you wore jeans with holes in them, it meant you were poor..
@bobbylibertini
AHhh! When this was still a civilized country. You could shop without annoying music blaring; People tried to look nice, instead of like bums; Children were kept under control and not allowed to scream and run around... It was the height of civilization, and I've been greatly blessed to have been alive at that time. It's all gone now :(

The stores weren't understaffed- polite employees checked out your groceries for you, and a second person was available to bag your groceries. Most if not nearly all products were made here in America and didn't come from thousands of miles away unless they coudn't be grown locally. Orange juice actually contained more than 2% actual, real orange juice. Most food was already organic and didn't need to be advertised as such (and wasn't twice as expensive because of it). No food tax for indulgences. A half gallon sized carton of juice was actually 64 ounces, not 59 or 54 or 52 ounces. Milk didn't contain mysterious hormones. Nothing was genetically modified or engineered. Cereal boxes actually offered a real toy, and it was actually IN THE BOX. No foods contained ingredients you couldn't pronounce. People recycled soda bottles automatically every time they returned to the grocery store- the glass bottles were simply washed and refilled- some bottles had older logos on them, and looked like they had been used over and over, hundreds of times. No melting aluminum and remanufacturing cans. Nobody knew what a self check-out lane was, and nobody had a magnetic security scanner at the door. Sugary cereals had names like super sugar crisp and sugar frosted flakes. Grocery bags were available for free, without asking, and they were all bio-degradable and were made from a renewable resource. No peanut allergy warnings on anything because nobody knew anyone who had a peanut allergy. A bag of Oreos was really BIG. Ice cream containers were also BIG. Land O Lakes had a Native American woman in the logo and everybody was happy to buy more butter because of it. Uncle Ben's had his picture on it and so did Aunt Jemima, and we didn't care. Prices were small. People carried actual money, which they actually had already earned. Healthy food wasn't much more expensive than processed junk food. People held the door open for each other, nobody was in a rush, employees smiled when you asked a question, and nobody brought in a gun to get their groceries.

Not only do I miss those days but I miss the people too. Never again will America be like it once was never

I was 13 at the time of this video footage. It was a wonderful time for America. I would give up all the conveniences of today to go back to this simpler time when America was great, and respected the world over.

Everything so clean and orderly no trash blowing down the street. People were clean and dressed decent, this almost hurts.

I don't know about you guys, but I think of those great days of the late 60's and early 70's EVERY SINGLE DAY of my life! I thank God for them. Poor young'uns today will never know how great normal life used to be and what we've lost. We didn't have vacations and endless amusements, or organized activities or formal events- those things don't matter. It was just mundane every day life that was so GREAT! (Including just going shopping with your mother, or hanging out under the shade tree with the neighbor...) (And having a stay-at-home mother was the greatest blessing.

The biggest difference to me is people today are less engaging, when I was a young man I knew all my neighbors, we helped each other . Everyone was more social in a more communal personal way. Good days remembered

Who remembers the diner at Woolworth store, The best french toast ever.

Popcorn at the entrance of K-Mart and blue light specials!

Of all the changes that have happened in the last 50 years.. one thing remains unchanged. The shopping cart.
@suebennett9347
I am also glad I was born back in 52 and happy to be as old as I am. I lived in a wonderful time and although I enjoy modern technology I would throw it all away for simpler times. Still living a good life but waiting also to GO HOME⬆️✝️
@shelliewerner5624
And all those older cars. Nice.
