People ask a lot of questions when they learn that you were a child during the 1960s. They inquire, “What did you think of the Vietnam War?” “Do you still have memories of the Cuban Missile Crisis? The Love Summer? The “I Have a Dream” speech by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every civil rights demonstration?” Even if you occasionally come up with insightful responses, if you were a child growing up in the 1960s, it’s unlikely that you have any recollections of mingling with Bobby Kennedy and “Mama” Cass Elliot. Instead, what you most likely recall is watching the Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show while sipping Tang and using your Easy-Bake Oven. Here are 5 throwbacks to the 1960s that kids of that era will never forget.
1. watching television on enormous televisions
2. Go-go boots
Although low-heeled, mid-calf boots were originally introduced in 1964, it wasn’t until Nancy Sinatra’s hit song “These Boots Are Made for Walkin'” in 1966 that go-go boots rose to the status of a must-have fashion accessory for females worldwide. Without a pair of these trendy boots, how could a lady possibly be expected to “walk all over” her unfaithful ex-boyfriends?
3. Engaging in Troll Doll play
The late 1950s saw the creation of these little dolls by a Danish carpenter, but youngsters in the 1960s weren’t really captivated to them for the reasons you might think. Their “tangled mops of unruly hair” were previously described as being “strangely pleasant to the touch,” according to Life magazine.
