    I was a kid in the 70s and things were so much different then. Things were less complicated then, people appreciated simple things much more. We had to use our imaginations much more, as we didn;t have a zillion TV stations, the Internet and all the videogames. I kind of wish it was still the 70s!

    Thank you for the nice giveaway!

    What I miss most about my childhood (I was born in ’79) was playing outside. There were kids everywhere. You never see kids playing outside anymore. Could have something to do with the fact that you don’t see parents outside anymore. Does anybody remember that it was time to come home when mom turned the porch light on? Those were the days, my friend.

    Something cool about growing up in the 60s and 70s was that High Fructose Corn Syrup wasn’t used everywhere! I can’t wait to try Pepsi Throwback and get a taste fo the past. Another thing that was definitely cool back in those days was television — I still love many of the older shows.

    Too bad my kids didn’t have the great childhood I did. We could go and play by ourselves and never be watched. Life was so much easier and simple and things were special. You didn’t get new Barbies, you go a new Barbie outfit. You appreciated what you had from shoes to a dress because you didn’t get so much. Things were better quality from food to clothing. Life was carefree for us.

I used to rush home from school to watch shows like Gilligan’s Island, The Brady Bunch, and The Beverly Hillbillies. When I was about 11, I started getting into science fiction, and I loved Battlestar Galactica, Logan’s Run, Buck Rogers, Space 1999, and Star Trek (in reruns, of course).

    I wasn’t alive in the ’70s HOWEVER as a small child in the ’80s I enjoyed a music box my Granny owned that had come from the 60s and 70s era that played “Close to You.” the Bacharach song made famous by the Carpenters.

    I will always remember when the Pepsi truck would deliver door to door in the 60s. My grandparents bought cases of Pepsi and Pepsi products. About a half hour before we would watch TV at night she would partially freeze the Pepsi in the glass bottles. We would drink our Pepsi while watching the 11:00 news after then the TV signed off for the night.

    For most of my conscious life, Pepsi was made with high-fructose corn syrup. However, I still love any soda that is made with sugar, and would love to see it back. Pepsi should completely return to sugar, and join the ranks of Red Bull Cola, Boylans, Passover Coke, Dublin Dr. Pepper, and even Walgreens’ house soda.

    I wasn’t born until the 80’s, but I love the fashion and peace/hippy spirt of the 70’s.

    well it seemed to be a less stressful time where kids spent more time outdoors and so did the adukts- oh the bad things about technology..

    then the 8tracks and records and am/fm and remember when people did not have vcrs and watched the sunday night movie on sunday night because there were no vcrs…

    kuntakinta? wow seems so long ago

    It seemed to be much safer & friendlier in the 60's & 70's.

    I remember drinking Pepsi and Mt. Dew back in the day when it still came in glass bottles. Liked it much better then, seemed like a special treat.

    I wasn’t born in the 60s or 70s, but I remember my mom telling me all about it! Now thanks to her, I listen to all of the songs from that time!

    In the 60’s and 70’s I wore flowers in my hair. I learned about sex education at my church in 2 classes since no one school taught it.

    Growing up in the 70’s were great. As a kid, I was able to run around the neighborhood and play from morning until night just checking in for meals. We didn’t have to schedule any play dates, we just played with the neighbors. We didn’t have to practice school lock-downs just tornado or fire drills.
