Memories from growing up
If you grew up in the 1970s, these memories will hit you right in the heart. From shag carpet to Saturday morning cartoons, here are 15 things every 70s kid knows.
Remember wax lips, candy cigarettes, and Pixy Stix? These retro candies from the 70s and 80s deserve another shot. Here are the forgotten sweets we still think about.
The plastic-covered furniture. The hard candy in the glass dish. The smell of something always cooking. Grandma’s house had its own rules, its own smell, and its own magic.
The smell of a new box of crayons. The weight of a metal lunchbox. The satisfying click of a pencil box. These school supplies from the 70s and 80s are burned into our memories forever.
The TV dinner in the aluminum tray. The Jell-O 1-2-3. The Pudding Pops. Some foods from the 70s and 80s simply vanished from shelves, and we’ve been thinking about them ever since.
Waiting for your favorite song to come on the radio. Rewinding a VHS tape. Calling someone and getting a busy signal. These are the experiences of growing up in the 70s and 80s that simply don’t exist anymore.
No TV until homework is done. Be home when the streetlights come on. Don’t talk back. These were the rules of the house, and everyone followed them — or else.
No batteries required. No app needed. No screen involved. These are the toys from the 1980s that kids actually played with — for hours, outside, using their imaginations.
Catching fireflies in a jar. Riding bikes until dark. The smell of sunscreen and chlorine. These small, quiet moments from childhood in the 70s and 80s are the ones we carry with us the longest.
