PET ROCKS !!!!!
OMG. The Ur-Tamagotchi
. I've never heard of them, I just looked it up in wikipedia.
I think they never found their way across the Atlantic.
I was born in 1968, so I don't remember the 60, but the 70ies:
- the only Elvis I remember is fat Elvis and dead Elvis
- Raleigh Chopper bicycles (in Germany, they were called Bonanza bikes, like the TV series, and they had banana saddles)
- macrame (oh, what a nightmare)
- ABBA
- Bonanza (the TV series)
- The Waltons (I had such a crush on John-Boy - but who hadn't?
)
- Little House on the Prairie (major crush on Laura, and later I was a sucker for the actress's sister, who played Darlene Connor on Rosanne)
- Deutsche Schlager and the ZDF Hitparade (most horrible kind of music ever)
- DISCO
- matching clothes for couples: horrible. What made it worse was the fact my father refused it, so
I had to wear matching clothes with my mother
. I hated it more than I can say...
- bell-bottom trousers (in the worst case with an added border when they I had outgrown them)
- life without a telephone
- three (yes, three!) channels on TV. And programme started only in the afternoon (around 5pm) and ended around midnight. The other time there was only a TV test pattern on.
