Growing up in the 1950s was not always fun and games, but boy did we have some some good times! Whether at home with family, inviting neighbors out to play or heading off on some adventure, we felt fairly free to enjoy simply being a kid.
Hula hoops and soda fountains
From sideburns and poodle skirts to hula hoops and soda fountains Boomers will tell you it was a fun time to be a kid.Just being able to ride your bike around the neighborhood without a care is something that kids today would love about that time.
But the fun didn’t stop there. True Boomers will remember the items in the quiz below.
Even in poodle skirts and high-waisted outfits everyone stepped out looking their very best. Grooming was very serious and even taught in some schools. We still showed off our individual style no matter the occasion.
Quiz Yourself, Then Test Your Family and Friends
We believe only Baby Boomers will remember everything from this quiz, but if nothing else, it will be a good time going down memory lane. Test your knowledge then share it with your fellow boomers or test the kids with it to see how much they know!
