I, like many of you, love a bit of 70s and 80s vintage, especially when it brings back happy memories of growing up. These images still make me smile, decades later. Surely, I can’t be that old ……
1 Wax Bottles
There was a syrup juice when you bit though the wax!
2 Candy
My grandparents used to have this candy displayed in an avocado green sweet dish!
3 Sticky Stars
My elementary teacher dished these out for solving maths problems.
4 Towelling Playsuit
I took a suit like this on my first girls’ holiday to wear on the beach.
5 Fluffy Slippers
I used to borrow mom’s until she bought me my own fluffy pair!
6 Coke Advert
I’d like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony ……
7 Record Box
We kept our LP’s in here. I was a sado as mine had to be in alphabetical order, starting with Abba!
8 Hollie Hobbie
Lunch box, pencil case and doll – I was Hobbied out!
9 IBM Typewriter
I learned to type on the exact one, in green!
10 All-In-One
These were so ‘in’ in the 70s, a bit scratchy but very fashionable!
11 Join The Dots
Loved doing this before I colored the picture in.
12 Rocky
This cartoon always made me laugh!
13 Football Game
My brother needed surgically removing from this game!
14 Sandals
Once our feet were measured, it was exciting to see which shoes were in the boxes!
15 Tube Top
I used to have to keep pulling my top up when I was dancing!
