Fads of the 1960s

Thank you for this quiz. It's nice to be able to answer from personal knowledge for a change, rather than things I learned from later generations on this site.

Not sure why Ouija boards are on a 60's quiz. The modern boards have been around since the 1800s, and they've had several periods where their popularity waxed and then waned. Same with yo-yos. Similar items have been available for centuries and the first Yo-yo Company product was marketed in the US in the 1920s and became very popular. Twister might be better as a game developed in the 60s, and Clackers might be considered rather than yo-yos as another 60s era toy.

This is so US-centric...

If you want to get rid of a oiuja board, find out how to do it properly, don't put it in the trash or burn it. There can be negative forces attached and they can be spread by burning...I have heard stories. So the little work to do it right is worth it. BTW, I never heard of a bouncing ball like that... and those bicycle seats were the ones little boys used on their stingrays, right? Not really part of the 60s unless you include our barbi and ken dolls.... The 60s were when roller boards first became popular--and there's a LASTING fad! I rode mine constantly, unaware how they could be used by guys who knew what they could be using them for!

I love how this website has me reading up on the phenomenon of sea-monkeys for half an hour. Infobesity at its best.

I don't know about your part of the world, but where I'm from we call a "superball" a "high bouncer". You know, because it "bounces really high". It's... kind of obvious, really.

I think nuclear bunker or nuclear shelter or underground bunker should also be accepted, as that is what they are known in my country AFAIK.

Also I had an afro and did not groom it with a pick, but instead a special wide comb - an 'afro comb' - i think they had these in the 60s and 70s, as i got some second hand.

troll dolls was a 60 things?? really ? Here it was a typical late 90 thing. (and some how tiny pacifier shaped things in all sort of colours which you would wear as a necklace... ok you should have been there with that one, sounds even weirder described haha)

Other things should be accepted for "Fallout shelter" Bunker, air raid shelter, maybe just shelter by itself, etc.
