The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there.

No modern advertiser would speak so slightingly of vitamins, even in jest. :)
I do remember Cream of Wheat. It was one of my favorites.

Liked the "Powers of 10" movie in his time (77). Shows how virtual reality, and aesthetics, have evolved…

Re: Abdul's official "The past is a foreign country" thread.
I heard that one above the other day on a daily song podcast I subscribe to. I don't like every song I hear on that podcast, or even most of them, really, but occasionally I find one that I like, and I get to hear a lot of different ones that I might not encounter otherwise.
I just now found a couple more by the same people. I find them relaxing. If you liked it, check these out too:

They work just as audio too, you don't actually have to watch the video to enjoy.

There was some static at the time about graphic violence in the dioramas. I still have a couple of the recordings kicking around somewhere.Abdul Alhazred wrote:Now for some real "The past is a foreign country" stuff.
I remember this one from the 1964 New York World's Fair.
The Triumph of Man
http://tluthman.home.mindspring.com/triumphofman/
If there were another World's Fair this one would never fly, and not just because of the sexist language.
You could easily fix that particular problem.
But it would still be way too pro human and non-apocalyptic for modern audiences.

The "Shootin' Shell" line of fine firearms.
In fact any toy guns.

I remember burning the shit out of myself making these things when I was a larval Elder God.

The talent portion of the contest must have been of far more importance back then.

"White House Blues"Mr. McKinley he didn't do no wrong
Rode on in to Buffalo but he didn't stay too long
Hard times, hard times, hard times
The people all can running round to see what had been done
You have shot the president down with your Iver Johnson gun
Hard times, hard times, hard times
