Weren't the toys also more durable back then now? Action figures are o cheap and flimsy now. And those Corgi toy cars just ain't what they used to be.

I used to like to go outside and make mud pies. I think that there would probably these days be warning labels. There were no medication advertisements on television and Viagra was not even invented yet.
The Schlitz Malt Liquor commercials with the bull.
The Betty Feezor cooking show.

Billy Dee Williams in the Colt .45 commercials too!
Two sentences that I do not believe have ever been in same paragraph before...
Yes they were.
As far as toy cars they contain a lot more plastic now so not nearly as tough.
When it comes to action figures, as we told GNTLGNT in another thread, that's a fancy name for a doll.
Tonka trucks were made of metal and tough as nails.
Back when I was 16, 17 & 18 I didn't care if the girls considered me a pity date. I would have taken any reason to be with a girl. And I was never considered a dreamboat... Wackadoodle was more like it.
1975? I think was first time I ever saw an aluminum baseball bat. Ping sound was LOUD and seemed unnatural.
By the time I graduated high school, and after finishing second in the state that year (not so humble brag), my coach let me carry this bat off the field and keep for myself.
It's in the closet gathering dust...
Kind of like my athletic career now.

I am sure I could make this into something bordering on dirty...
Better just let it stand on its own.
My Bombat was blue with gold lettering. I loved the sound of that ping....

Not much has changed, huh?Back when I was 16, 17 & 18 I didn't care if the girls considered me a pity date. I would have taken any reason to be with a girl. And I was never considered a dreamboat... Wackadoodle was more like it.
See I knew someone would take up the mantle...Not much has changed, huh?
I used a wooden bat until high school. Didn't trust the "newfangled" technology.
OK truth be told didn't have money for aluminum bat.
At 13 was only All Star sporting wood...
Wait that doesn't sound right...

Plus I am pretty sure they were still allowed to advertise cigarettes and booze on TV (well, come to think of it, they still do advertise booze)
I thought you didn't look at the mantle.
