In 1957, Harold von Braunhut
discovered a true freak of nature and
recognized its potential to become one
of the greatest marketing opportunities
in history. After watching the creature
known as Artema nyos, a relative to
the bryn shrimp. Out of water it would
appear dead and once introduced
back into water it would mysteriously
come back to life, without any suffered
ill effects. He then began to sale them
through mail order, around the early
1960's, packaging them in a box
labeled "Instant Life" and they were
sold for $.49 thought comic book
advertisements. The fad kept growing
and now 40 years later, his freaks of
nature are still charming kids
everywhere.
The Twist
• Chubby Checker made this
dance style very popular when
he appeared on American
Bandstand in the early 1960's.
It originated in a small New
York club called The
Peppermint Lounge in 1961.
The dance was featured in a
few films in the early sixties but
quickly faded when other
dances such as the Mashed
Potato and the Watusi were
introduced to TV shows and
movies.
Lava Lamps
•
•
1965 - Wow! Groovy lamp, man!
In the mid-sixties, LAVA® invited a
generation to turn on (their LAVA®
brand lamps), tune in, and drop
out. The introduction of the
Century LAVA® brand motion
lamp started it all. Originally sold
as the Astro Lamp, with its large
gold base and tiny holes, it
produced a simulated starlight that
was definitely far out. The
Century's Medium was the
Message: a 52 ounce globe
containing red or white blobs and
yellow (some called it mellow
yellow) or blue liquid.
Surfing
• California surf music and films like
"Gidget" made it cool to ride the waves,
and all those beach party movies made us
wish we could have an endless summer,
too.
Mood Rings
• The famous black oval
ring that changed colors
when the mood of the
person changed. As the
moods of society
changed, someone
thought we needed a way
to monitor this change.
Tada - the birth of the
mood ring.
Fallout Shelters
• With the threat of a nuclear war on the horizon, some
Americans looked for ways to protect themselves from
horrible destruction. They decided upon bomb proof,
fallout shelters. Most looked like basic units, providing
space only for necessities (which were generally only
two-week supplies) while others looked like small
guesthouses, equipped with pool tables, paintings and
wine cellars. The fallout shelter fad reached its peak in
the early 60's as the Cuban Missile crisis loomed. But it
was waned in the 70's as various treaties were signed,
calming apocalyptic fears.
Ouija Boards
• First brought about after many
viewed the movie "The
Exorcist", where a young girl
was possessed by the devil
while playing with a Ouija
board. A once thought
dangerous game that in the
late 1960's outsold the
venerable game Monopoly.
Thought to believe that we
could communicate with the
dead through a Ouija board,
the game was born in the mid
nineteenth century brought
upon by a spiritualism craze
that sweeped through Europe
and spread to New York.
Superballs
Troll Dolls
• Troll Dolls
Created by Thomas Dam, the
inventor of the Dammit doll,
names after Thomas. The
dolls were established into a
company called Dam Things
in 1964. A year which more
than one million of these
trolls were sold in the United
States. The doll was made
for his daughter, cause he
couldn't afford to buy her a
birthday present. The doll
was inspired by the legend
of trolls whom inhabited
deep dark forests and
brought good luck to the
human that could catch one.
It would seem many humans
at that time were catching
them.
