35Sea Monkeys
- In 1957, Harold von Braunhut discovered a true
freak of nature and recognized its potential to
become one of the greatest marketing
opportunities in history. After watching the
creature known as Artema nyos, a relative to the
bryn shrimp. Out of water it would appear dead
and once introduced back into water it would
mysteriously come back to life, without any
suffered ill effects. He then began to sale them
through mail order, around the early 1960's,
packaging them in a box labeled "Instant Life"
and they were sold for .49 thought comic book
advertisements. The fad kept growing and now 40
years later, his freaks of nature are still
charming kids everywhere.
36The Twist
- Chubby Checker made this dance style very popular
when he appeared on American Bandstand in the
early 1960's. It originated in a small New York
club called The Peppermint Lounge in 1961. The
dance was featured in a few films in the early
sixties but quickly faded when other dances such
as the Mashed Potato and the Watusi were
introduced to TV shows and movies.
37Lava Lamps
- 1965 - Wow! Groovy lamp, man!
- In the mid-sixties, LAVA invited a generation to
turn on (their LAVA brand lamps), tune in, and
drop out. The introduction of the Century LAVA
brand motion lamp started it all. Originally sold
as the Astro Lamp, with its large gold base and
tiny holes, it produced a simulated starlight
that was definitely far out. The Century's Medium
was the Message a 52 ounce globe containing red
or white blobs and yellow (some called it mellow
yellow) or blue liquid.
38Surfing
- California surf music and films like "Gidget"
made it cool to ride the waves, and all those
beach party movies made us wish we could have an
endless summer, too.
39Mood Rings
- The famous black oval ring that changed colors
when the mood of the person changed. As the moods
of society changed, someone thought we needed a
way to monitor this change. Tada - the birth of
the mood ring.
40Fallout Shelters
- With the threat of a nuclear war on the horizon,
some Americans looked for ways to protect
themselves from horrible destruction. They
decided upon bomb proof, fallout shelters. Most
looked like basic units, providing space only for
necessities (which were generally only two-week
supplies) while others looked like small
guesthouses, equipped with pool tables, paintings
and wine cellars. The fallout shelter fad reached
its peak in the early 60's as the Cuban Missile
crisis loomed. But it was waned in the 70's as
various treaties were signed, calming apocalyptic
fears.
41Ouija Boards
- First brought about after many viewed the movie
"The Exorcist", where a young girl was possessed
by the devil while playing with a Ouija board. A
once thought dangerous game that in the late
1960's outsold the venerable game Monopoly.
Thought to believe that we could communicate with
the dead through a Ouija board, the game was born
in the mid nineteenth century brought upon by a
spiritualism craze that sweeped through Europe
and spread to New York.
42Superballs
43Troll Dolls
- Troll DollsCreated by Thomas Dam, the inventor
of the Dammit doll, names after Thomas. The dolls
were established into a company called Dam Things
in 1964. A year which more than one million of
these trolls were sold in the United States. The
doll was made for his daughter, cause he couldn't
afford to buy her a birthday present. The doll
was inspired by the legend of trolls whom
inhabited deep dark forests and brought good luck
to the human that could catch one. It would seem
many humans at that time were catching them.
