Can ou accept Leisure for Leisure suit? I typed Leisure alone and never thought to add suit. You accept shag, bean bag and others. Great quiz though...
I thought the fabric was called double knit, and it was made from polyester. I still remember my mother dressing me in that stuff. I think it has a half-life of 1000 years.
Please accept Qiana as an answer for the synthetic material. It was all the rage in the 70's and there's even an Etsy collection of vintage Qiana shirts. Those not in their teens in the 70's, please forgive us our fashion sense.
It's pretty much what it sounds like: a whole bunch of stuff marketed with the yellow smiley face and the phrase "Have a nice day." Here's a rundown on the history of the smiley, which touches on the phrase as well.
There were t-shirts (and I think mugs, bumper stickers, and lots of other things) with the yellow smiley face on them that said "Have a Nice Day." The phrase itself isn't a 70's fad, but those particular shirts were very popular. It's referenced in Forrest Gump.
Tried popping candy, didn't work then inadvertently got it when i was typing the answer for the campy midnight movie. Also, couldn't get past safari suit, as to me that was a definite 70's fad.
As a teenager in the 70s i say Nylon for the synthetic clothing, playsuit for the suit, pop candy and tape recorder and I agree with tbd 123 about the string
Fondue really belongs in the 60s quiz. I remember attending numerous bridal showers in the 1960s where the happy couple received a fondue pot. I attended one shower in which they received three. I don't know of a single couple who ever actually used them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fondue
Tracksuit is not the same, though you have now inspired me to search for "Superstars" episodes to see some 70s sportswear (and Kevin Keegan's bike crash).
Usually you allow a few mispelling variations, however, husstle was not accpeted. I accidentally hit the s twice in a rush to type and just assumed it was wrong so moved on. When I had lots of time left, I went back and re-tried with the correct spelling, it took it. Suggest to allow some minor misspellings on this one.
Not sure 8 tracks really made it to the UK, think we went pretty much straight to cassettes. Or maybe it was like betamax where anyone who bought those was gutted as they got replaced by VHS 2 minutes later
I'm too young to remember all of these, but old enough that quite a few were still around in my childhood.
