Fifties Dive

These are a cool sat and pepper shaker for those who love the 1950’s! The bottles are small and are made out of glass. They both have a silver top that is shiny and reflects the lights nicely. You can see the name brand called, “Coca Cola” on the front and they can hold lots of both these spices. They resemble the older soda shapes and look well put together. My cousin has these salt and pepper shakers that are similar to these two and she uses them a lot. She got these from her friend, and it turns out her friend bought the same ones too!

These are beautiful posters gift for those who love the 1950’s! The picture boards have four different deserts that are for sale. There is strawberry, root beer float, hot fudge, and vanilla shake. All of them have whipped cream and are of affordable prices. They all seem to have a rough but straight to the point font and all of them look super yummy. My friend has a poster similar to these, but she only has two. She got them from her mother in law as a birthday gift and she always love when she gets gifts from her.

This is a cool and fun straw holder gift for fifters! The lid to this holder is of a silver color and made of metal. It has a glass covering over it and shines brightly in the light. At the bottom this straw holder has this candle like shaper of tin and has red and white straws inside. This decoration represents coca cola and can fit nicely in your dining rooms. My friend has this exact straw holder and she displays it on her window in her kitchen so everyone can spot it quickly. She talks about how she got this gift from her boyfriend’s mother. This is the smallest picture that would fit.

Elvis Aaron Presley was born January 8, 1935 and he died on August 16, 1977.  He was considered as a big star in the era of the 1950's. Presley is labeled officially as an American singer.  This man is also known for being a musician and an actor. He married Priscilla Presley from 1967 through 1973.  It is fascinating to know that Presley has four grandchildren. Before he became this big singer he was actually traveling on the road with his bandmates.  What he is known for is his style of music was labeled as rockabilly. He had the ability to combine country music with the blues.  It is shocking to find out that Elvis never wrote any of his songs according to an article.  What is known is that his label gave him the right to have co-writing credit on many songs because his management demanded song writers give 50% of the credit before Presley would record it.  Elvis's biggest hit during his prime was called, "Don't Be Cruel." Many people loved him duri...

This is a cute green and peach colored cookbook gift for those who love the 50’s! I noticed two drawings of a man and women that are the characters of Lucy and Ricky. There is a big heart in the middle of them that says, “I Love Lucy.” There is a pattern of kitchen utensils that are a mix of green and peach colors. How there is two what looks to be like snowflakes on the side of the drawings of the two people and have the word cookbook at the bottom. My nana has a cooking book just like this one, but it has the colors purple and orange. I remember her making big holiday meals with the recipes that are featured in this book.

The video starts off with an old style television, our screen point of view is in black and white, and with light music.  The music reminds me of Wii loading screen jingle. Afterwards they color our screen and show us a sentence, "Let's Make a Sandwich." Goes on to say that sandwiches are necessary and that it is Americanized. It shows two children drinking a soda and eating a wrapped sandwich.   They show a mother and daughter on our screen and they demonstrate how to make a good and proper sandwich.  The view is of all of their ingredients on the table in front of them and they are both dressed in their accurate attire. The mother brings out the bread and the narrator has to say everything they are doing but does not include their thoughts on making the sandwich. The writers of this commercial, I guess you could say is demonstrating that women are the only ones who do the cooking and they have to in order to feed their family.  There is no footage of men or bo...

1) Wendy's  Wendy's opened in 1969 and stayed open from then on still in 2021. Many of their customers choose from burgers, french fries, chili, drinks, and their special frosty.  In the 1960's, they did not have the same logo until it was created in 1969 and worded it with, "Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers." It stuck this way until 2007 when they stuck with only the company name Wendy's. 2) McDonald's   This fast food place was created in 1948 and they offered a simple selection for their customers including hamburgers and fries along with a drink. This tactic was gonna get them started and then progress into more meals and deserts.  Today compared to the 1950's people order fries, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, ice cream cones, chicken nuggets, etc. Back in the day, many people did not go through drive throughs but only to physically walk into these fast food restaurants and order a quick meal. 3) Chick-fil-A This restaurant came into fusion in 1946...
