The 1970s were arguably the best decade in living history.
Although those of us who had the privilege of living through it might be a bit biased. I mean we did have David Cassidy pinned to our bedroom walls (and ceilings), got to wear bellbottoms, didn’t wear seat belts and drank cordial out of cool coloured metal cups.
It was a also, however, a decade of massive change and divide. The Vietnam War consumed the nation, and large parts of the world, yet we still enjoyed picnics in the park and the Sunday night family roast.
So if you remember singing along to Dancing Queen, falling in love with John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever and being allowed to stay outside until the street lights came on, then you’ll recognise most – if not all – of the 70 awesome (and not-so-awesome) things below from the glorious 1970s.

the metal cups (glasses) in the list above showing the 70"s were made from aluminum and sold by Tupperware. We had them in the 50's. they lasted forever.
