RETRO School Supplies 1970s kids were OBSESSED with 

Pencil cases were all the rage in the seventies along with a new type of eraser that looked transparent and had various scents.

I worked for Radio Shack from 1982 to 1986 and we used a TRS-80 II to do ur every day store sales report. I did sell several of the Color Computers to parents wanting their children to start learning about that medium. The funy thing is that I did not buy a pc until the early 2,000s. Sure brings back memories!

I still have my green Trapper Keeper I got for 7th grade in 1982.

My mom still has a trapper keeper full of drawings I would draw in it whenever I was sent to my room…which was often 😂

Smelly stickers, trapper keepers, and those metal lunchboxes were total winners! Thank you for making the video.

I owned a different Trapper Keeper every year in my mid-school years (junior high and early highschool). I got bored with it in later highschool, years but I absolutely remember using it!

The stickers. For me it was the orange and other fruits that I wanted. We'd each get a roll and then do trading in the classroom and at recess for the ones we wanted. It was a shame they didn't last long but my folder was covered with them.

That clip with the skunk scratching the scratch and sniff stickers hahaha!

In 4th grade, the whole classroom had a shared electric pencil sharpener. I always always purposely snapping the leads on pencils so I could use it until the teacher caught on.

The scratch & sniff thing reminded me of a movie from the mid '80s where they handed out those cards to go with the film... A prompt would flash on the screen with a number corresponding with a scratch-able patch on the card... it was a raunchy comedy/western called, "Lust in the Dust"... so, sometimes you saw the image and you just didn't *want* to smell it! lol

Awesome video! Thank you for the wonderful trip down memory lane.

5:53 Trapper Keeper was the bling-bling of my school years starting in 7th grade 1985 & they never failed to keep my papers secured. My fave design I recall was a picture of a tiger & was proud to death of such in 8th grade Intermediate School (Before Middle School came along).

I still have these scratch and sniff stickers from 1985 . they smell exactly like they did in 1985 in 2022. I was amazed .

best times of my life when stuff was so fun

The computer at 49 seconds is a CoCo 1. I got started with the CoCo 2, then moved on to the CoCo 3. The CoCo 3 with OS9 Level 2 was an absolutely awesome machine! I still have my running Superman lunchbox from my time in school in the 1980's. As a kid, I absolutely treasured it.

TRS-80s were more early 80s than 70's. Electric pencil sharpeners were unheard of for students.

I actually had a Trapper Keeper while I was in high school. The others always asked me what I had in it as I had a habit of keeping it close to me between classes. 😄

Thank You!

as a kid in the 80's i did have a trs-80 computer coco 2. i did have a lot of fun time's on it.. i remember my school had the apple ii & an apple iic computers

The Trash 80 (TRS-80) was my first, but not the all in one shown, I that the separate keyboard, Monitor and later the Tape recorder, and even later the Floppy Disc Drives @ %400USD, as a c hild I would save all year to buy One, eventually having 4. [A trick in Radio Shack Advertising] Later I bought the LT1500, and Eventually the T-80 Model III. My first games were the Scott Adams Adventures. I remember 'scratch & niff' as being perfume samples in magazines. "Lunch Boxes", I thad a few. The problem was the Thermous Bottle would shatter (inside) Leaving my soup with glass fragments. So, in each case I was left with a simple metal box for sandwiches.

The trapper keeper I usually had! Was a plane one! And I would slice the outside plastic! And stick my own pictures in there!

My mum and dad wouldn't buy me a trapper keeper. I was deprived so terribly.

TRS 80 was my first computer.

The stickers were a big deal. I remember sometimes teachers would reward a good paper with a sticker. I loved the lunch boxes. I know I had them but can't remember which ones!

7:52 Before Trapper Keepers starting in 7th grade, Lunch Boxes were the bling-bling of Elementary School & metal boxes were the best & durable of the time. My 3rd & favorite was "Masters of The Universe" with flip n Sip Thermos I chose myself. The greatest perk of Lunchboxes: No waiting in line for school lunch...just go in, sit down & chow down as you quietly advertised your fave design of the time, like Superman, Dukes of Hazzard, Star Wars, Heathcliff to name a few my classmates had. 😔They just don't make'em like that...anymore.

I've never heard of no scratch-n-sniff stickers, only the scratch-n-sniff centerfold in Hustler, but I'm guessing that's something entirely different? He He! Everyone seemed to have a Trapper Keeper. I don't remember what lunchbox I had. I usually bought the hot lunch.

I took sooo many things for granted back then not knowing it wouldn't last forever. Things were more simple and easier. Technology has turned everything upside down. Can't do anything anymore without a young person being beside me to show me the new day and age. Remember tin lunch boxes. Plastic is deemed more safe. Same with Coke bottles and that's understandable cause glass breaks. Don't want to cut yourself.

A better choice for the computer would probably been the apple II since that one was in schools way more and also seems to have been just overall more popular in the 70s while the trs-80 seems to not have become more popular until the early 80s.

I worked two full-time jobs summer of 1978 so I could buy a TRS-80. May the cassette tape interface rest in hell. But overall it was a good computer. Loved the Scott Adams adventures.

Trash-80 computers! Where I learned to code! Still do, but not on a Trash-80!

I miss Trapper Keepers. 😢

I still miss my Six Million Dollar man lunchbox.

Why does it say 1970s when it is about the 1980s? I was a kid in the 70s, and y young adult in high school in the first half of the 80s. Still interesting, just not what I expected.

These items are not from the 1970's. They are of the 1980-'s

My first computer was the TRS-80 Color Computer II which we had to connect to a TV since it didn't have a monitor

They still make scratch n sniff stickers. They debuted in 1965 and got popular in the 1970s. But they're old news. I've taken two products, which found popularity in the 70s, and I've combined them, to make one ultra product! I call my creation, "SCRATCH 'N' SNIFF COCAINE"!!! The public will never grow tired of these new stickers.....They won't have a choice. Mwa ha ha ha ha! 😈 ROFL 😂 For real, though, I wish I could've seen the 70s. That's when my parents were kids, and it seems like it was a magical time. Plus, it was the golden age of all rock music types, in my opinion.

The Apple 2/2+ was more desirable because 280x192 graphics in multiple colors. Us apple owners CALLED TRS-80s Trash 80s. In 2023 any working machine of that vintage is appreciated, especially with original parts

If you say 1980s why does the title indicate 1970s?

Puffy google eye stickers and sticker books.

The TRS-80, at least the first 3 models, were gray.

When I was in elementary school, those scratch and sniff stickers were everywhere. Not all of those stickers smelled nice. I remember there was this one sticker that had a red lawnmower on it. On the front of the mower were these pair of eyes looking at you saying good work. That one was the stinker. It was supposed to smell of cut grass. But it smelt like something else entirely. P U

1980's or 1970's?

Trapper keepers are back, I've seen them at Walmart.

4:19 I have that 3rd sharpener!

I had the Holly Hobbie metal lunchbox

I understand that pencil sharpeners are now available that are cordless.

Why are you listing the other two RU-vidrs on your titles ?

The trapper keeper weighted more than the papers in it.

TRS-80 was launched in 1977.

I had a pac man metal lunch box in school

the Trash-80 wasn't white until the Model IV with its blazing fast 2 khz processor. the earlier models were silver, as seen in the clips.

Funny how the header says "RETRO School Supplies 1970s kids were OBSESSED with" but you're talking about 80's stuff.

Labelled “1970 school supplies”, talks about the 1980’s, shows 1970’s inventions…?

Need to change the title to 1980's kids.

Who else called the TRS-80 a "TRASH-80"?

It was a great video but it’s about the 80’s not the 70’s

These products were from the 80s not the 70s

Obsesses "with". So many semi illiterates these days. LOL
