Sea Monkeys

• 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.

36
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.

37
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.

38
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.

39
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.

40
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.

41
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.

42
Superballs
43
Troll Dolls

• Troll DollsCreated 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.
