We had a freezer like that back in the 60s/70s. My dad delivered frozen foods to schools and other institutions and would occasionally bring back some frozen items. I assumed they were unwanted extras and that's the story I'm sticking with.
@@---John--- So, do YOU wear a suit and tie in your own home? It's a pity we don't have TIME TRAVEL, then you go back to 1951, seeing as you think it's so WONDERFUL? 😂
My dad only wore dress pants and a long sleeved dress shirt 60s through to the 70s and into the 80s. The first time he bought jeans was the mid 1980s lol just the way it was.
My father had a laboring job doing sanding on automobile paint jobs, but at home he Always wore slacks with either a golf shirt (he liked that they still has collars) or a button up shirt. The man didn't own jeans or t-shirts, EVER. He was born in 1943, died recently at age 74. Always combed his hair before leaving the house or his car. They had a standard of appearance back then that most adhered to. It was seen as being socially responsible.
Watching this in 2023, penny’s outfits were amazing and modern, her dresses and even her belt chain in 18:38 ❤👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 the houses were so modern as well with those cabinetry, specially that farmhouse. The guy was a comic too, I liked how he tried to get his girl jealous by flirting with the other girls such a “50s” way of doing things. They should make more videos like this for us modern people that show off home economics and healthy living.
ok, what they forget to mention is the freezer burn. Those pies didn't even have any wrapping around them. The freezer is great, but you have to use it wisely. You can't just put shit in there and expect it to be perfect coming out after a few months. The drama'infomercial was entertaining.
Yes they had a bad habit of stocking fridges and freezers with uncovered and unwrapped food in the 50s, I see it time and time again in these commercials, they had no idea how to store things properly or how to prevent cross infection it seems.
If this was filmed today there would be various love triangles, violence involving abuse/guns/stalking, virus mutation, and at least one police intervention as well as nudity and language with a NC-17 rating.
FYI: Easy and fast way to defrost the freezer- Open the door and put a fan in front of it... don't forget to have a couple of towels to absorb the water. 😃
My own mother must have been brainwashed by this sort of film. She would go out and buy fresh meats and then FREEZE it. Nothing was served unless it was FROZEN first. I don't know about you, but fresh meats and vegetables have a much better taste (in my opinion).
jim cherkas That’s not true, but also- things that are frozen for shipping to stores are flash frozen, so the ice crystals are much smaller. Home freezing is slower and alters texture much more.
@@ranjapi693 Most home freezers will keep stuff safely frozen for 48 hours. There are temperature sensors available that will record temperature data for longer than that. I use a plastic container of ice cubes. If the cubes melt, everything in the freezer probably warmed up, too. You are right about the electricity, though. Windstorms shut down my power for almost 48 hours about 6 months ago. No cubes melted but I did get a few of those temperature data recorders for the refrigerator and the freezer.
Davis is played by Arthur Franz who was a character actor during the '50s and '60s. In 1953, he was in "Invaders from Mars", A cult science fiction movie. I found it pretty scary.
This is the beginning of the deteriorating world. Teaching people to rely on conveniences of electricity and forgetting over time how to can food ect. Adding monthly bills which will tie them to debt and keep people having to work and overtime wife and husband will need to work to afford more convenient comforts and monthly expenses. Or maybe I’m crazy 😜
I know he thinks he's funny, but he knows he was making her jealous and frustrating her regarding having no respect for her time, and bring seemingly unhelpful.
Probably married late or adopted the little girl. And to play a real wife and mother of FIVE and looks like she's from a rural area, family comes 1st mom's vanity comes last especially in those days
Maybe because living in a farm one gets weather worn and looks older before ones time. Or maybe that little girl came along after the daughter spent time with every Tom, Dick and Harry that stopped by but mom took the little one in to preserve family reputation. ..sigh...ok I need to go do something constructive...
That older "sister" had that "younger sister" in the 10th grade after a romp in the hayloft. That's not that old bag's kid. But, shhh! don't tell the little girl.
A lot of women today wait to have children, but both earlier and later pregnancies in most eras were normal, especially on farms where you needed all the help you could get before so much was automated. My sister's husband was the eldest of 12. My mother wasn't on a farm so only had six, spread over 20 years, the last two at 38 and 45.
Why don't you? You certainly should, appliances to save time for a cook have never been more plentiful. Without freezers, just like the one illustration showed, if the refrigerator was empty, not only would you have nothing to prepare, but you would also need to make a grocery run, then come back and cook. (Or just buy some sandwich meat for that meal and cook the next day). We should be grateful for any tiny thing that eases our burdens
I think that if we were raised in the 30's and early 40's, we would understand and appreciate the true convenience of modern appliances. Since we were born and raise with it, it's the standard of living we've come to Expect, not envy. 😊
@@spazmobot Not every man is a wanderer. If there is no trust, why bother? But many of you do, and then STAY in the relationship wasting your time worrying about infidelity or just being jealous.
I am learning canning whatever is possible to be canned. I dont wanna rely on unstable electricity or too expensive electricity, a freezer needs to be constantly on, canning only requires energy once. Meat needs to be defreezed, which takes time.. but a freezer is a good thing still.
A freezer runs until the temperature goes down and then turns off. Cycles on and off. Glad to hear you are learning canning. If you are in the USA, I hope you have found a recent edition of the Ball Blue Book of canning and a good pressure canner. There are also some good books from the USDA. I grew up learning canning. We canned 200 quarts of green beans one weekend and 75 quarts of peaches a different weekend. Also have canned salmon, chicken and beef. I don't do as much canning anymore so only have about 450 jars but I do still get compliments on my dill pickles!
It's 2021 and my family is exactly like this. My husband and I have a 1950s family. We have a great marriage and children. I wear dresses, do my hair, and wear a little makeup. We've never done drugs or have a police record. Our home is organized and clean. Our children help with chores. On Sunday we go to church to worship Jesus. I would never marry a heal like that boyfriend, my husband is devoted husband and affectionate father. He is the primary provider for our family. We have several degrees to homeschool our children and we work from home.
Yeah I grew up in the 70s and nobody I knew was like the Brady Bunch 🙄 My mom actually hated that show and others like it. She said it put ideas into kids heads that something was wrong with them if their families weren’t exactly like that. I prefer the Partridge family anyway. She didn’t seem to have a problem with that one as the mother was single no boyfriend or husband.
This isn't a drama. It's a film to encourage people of that time to buy appliances. The romances that make it look like a drama were included to make it look like a story.
