What do you miss most about the 70's... (home, open, people)

[Magnum Mike]

I wore t-shirts and jeans 99% of the time back in the 1970's, not plaid pants!

With my 1966 Chevy Caprice, sometime in the summer of 1977, when I was 20.

Livewire, KDKB T-shirts, with the KDKB "Carrot", were very popular in the Phoenix area back then..

That's Better...lol
Did you also have the shirt that said FAR-OUT on it? Or that KEEP ON TRUCKIN' shirt?
I wore a lot of "Band" tees...

LOL.. no I never had those "Far-out" or "Keep on truckin' " shirts, I know I had concert T-shirts, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Black Sabbath.

And oh.. did I also mention that I had a Disco Sucks T-shirt?

Mike..., with your plaid pants I bet you were really (secretly) a "Bay City Roller's" kinda guy back then?.....

I wore plaid too...and alot of my sisters 'hand me downs' ....lol

Yes, the Herbal Essence shampoo....isnt it still out? I use Suave, does the same thing as the more expensiver stuff and for about $1.29, cant complain.
I clicked the link that led to the 70's store....is white the only colour those things come in???
Oh, those were the days. And if my dad ever knew I went for a ride that summer afternoon with the ice cream man....

Yes I remember the original green Herbal Essence shampoo-smelled like Heaven. You wouldn't believe the number of people who want it brought back...there's several petitions on the Internet going now.
Also, "Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific!" and does anyone remember those "Earth Born" shampoos that came in all different scents, in little clear bottles?
How about "Tickle" deodorant?

Lookin' good!

You look like you just walked off the set of "Dazed and Confused"!

I miss when everything came in glass bottles. Shampoo, milk, soda, salad dressings, lotions.

What do I miss about the 70's? I think I missed that decade.. it seems it just flew by.. LOL..

I remember a chewing gum or something they sold sometime around 1974 or so, that had cards in them with funny consumer product names that were parody of the actual products, like the shampoo "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific!", I remember the parody name for it was "Gee Your Hair Smells Horrific!", or "Head And Shoulders", had "Head And Boulders".. There were several others, I'm sure if I jogged my memory a little bit, I could come up with more!

NOTHING. Except the lack of cell phones and Blackberries.
