It's crazy how so many of the things between the 60s and 90s were so similar, whereas I would bet anyone born in the 90s at any point, practically, would hardly remember ANY of those things.
They're certainly not politically correct enough. I mean ... candy cigarettes? Heaven forbid!0 -

'57 and remember all of that stuff. Grew up mostly in L.A. and actually used see a few movie stars taking the bus! Parts of the San Fernando Valley still had cows and Orange Country was still very rural.0
