[brunogallizzi]

Modern Family in 1971.

[floooky1]

$9.95 at Vat19...or 50 cents at your local church-run thrift.

[TypicalJAFO]

Am I the only one thinking that dad's slushmug @ 0:20 isn't filled with his favorite soft drink?

Unless by "soft drink", you mean "Harvey Wallbanger".

[seven7arrows]

Haha we had them and they didn't work very well. And we didn't run around the neighborhood dressed like we were going to the museum either!

[RetroToledo]

@seven7arrows We did that in our family all the time.

[HolyGirl]

vat19.com!!!

[MIKECNW]

Didn't know these existed in the 70's having first seen them advertised in 1984-85.

[mainegabrielle]

"the coolest thing to happen to drinks since ice" OMG that had me ROTFL ...don't care if it wasn't meant to be funny lol

[kellotatoo]

I WANT ONE!!!!!

[pictureisup1]

@kellotatoo You have to go to woody's. Good luck trying to find it in 2011

[SuperDantedmc]

@pictureisup1 vat19 sells it

[pictureisup1]

@SuperDantedmc you did your homework

[SuperDantedmc]

@pictureisup1 vat19 led me here lol XD

[senorMckenzie]

@lilbeatlesfangirl4 umm not really in the 70s their was small cellphones, fkat screen tvs ipod/pad/etc. so in no way that the 70s is better than now

[pictureisup1]

@senorMckenzie cell phones were in the 1980s and they were big with and antennas. There were no ipods pads in the 1970s. 

[RetroToledo]

@pictureisup1 I remember my dad's cell phone being that way.

[pictureisup1]

@RetroToledo Thanks I feel very old

[thesodathief]

damn 2.99 cheap!now its like 10........

[landeeno215]

buy yours at vat19.com makers of curiously awsome products

[benfergy]

Gotta love that flute music in the background.

[robertplantisgod1234]

I wish i was alive then

[danerocks99]

@AquaGirl11354 Yeah But Vat19 has the updated product.

[Mrjoecreeper]

Yeah the 1970s was sorta umm whats the word Stuipid well not stuip[id but their commercials was kinda stuipid

[Princess07ish]

@Mrjoecreeper , what makes you think that these commercials of today aren't stupid? I guess the 70s commercials do seem stupid to you because you were probably born in the 90s and not into seeing fun commercials but instead, you'd rather see commercials about weight loss, seeing someones dirty food stained teeth, feminine itch and yeast infection commercials and alot of other disgusting stuff. Those are the stupid commercials in my opinion!!

[Mrjoecreeper]

@Princess07ish I know they are i dontr whatch todays commercials i change channals when they come on

[greewdew]

was 2.95 a lot back then?

[virnman]

@greewdew Consider you could get a cheeseburger for .40 cents and candy bars were .10 cents. Gas cost about .40 cents per gallon depending on where you lived. That might help put things in perspective.

[cochranexyz]

All I do, then and now, is freeze a plastic cup of juice. Scrape with a spoon. 

[s0ul3ater]

i eat ppoop

[ofri925]

sick @kelvion1234

[bestamerica]

[Aliendear]

The 70s were a promising decade.

[ang3linpeace]

[Scottishscot1Numbah1]

@ang3linpeace remember back then 295 was worth alot more

[knightsolder]

[Channel8765]

Lol I just got this from Vat19. It works & it's delicious. But I really thought that I was ordering something new, cool, and revolutionary.... and it's 39 years old. :D

[JoAnnGray]

I used to have these. I found something similar at walmart several years ago.

[JoshuaTaylor]

Simpler times back then. Partially frozen water !!! Woo hoo ! (meh, I had one when I was a kid and thought it was cool, too...) :-)

[JTPolo101]

God I remember having those . They were such fun simple times to eb a kid and just have fun. I miss those days alot. 

[hkfan1980]

[BanditDollz]

I want to call the number and see if it still exist . .

[Andehzarz]

They still have this XD Actually Vat 19 brought it back :#

[Subcidal]

I cant help but laugh when he says, "The coolest thing to happen to soft drinks since ice!"

[beAloneonTheStreet]

I wish I was young in 70s,not now...70s were fucking great...

[jihahmj99]

@jihahmj99

[Treemeadow]

this ad is very effective. It made me buy a slush mug.

[ForbiddianSC]

Soilent slush is people!!!

[ch20stn]

If you seen a lot of these commercials in '71 when you were a kid, you'd think that every female in America was forced to wear short hemmed dresses and skirts.

[KisaKittyLove]

what will happen if i call the number???

[mastmedia]

@KisaKittyLove

before area codes. lol.

[floooky1]

@KisaKittyLove

Don't. I think it might shut down the internet.

[PupuTheClown]

I had one of these, Coke was my favorite slushy.

[teclo64]

I had one of these. Wish I still had it!

[csklimowski]

@teclo64 You can still buy it from vat19.com!

[DancingSpiderman]

Hey Barnie... is my poopie-flavored slushee ready yet?

No, but my horchata slushee is da bomb...ummmm...

Whore-CHA-taaaa

[mcastjr]

Horchata slush would be really awesome.

[cornfarmershamus]

pause it at 0:20 the guy look insane

[lovelyjessie79]

Ok.

Tell me In not the only one who called that number!!!

[Cryocide13]

Man, that chick is hot! Looks like a girl I kissed when I was 7!

[IdahoMoe1963]

they were tasty in the summer.

[funygirl38]

Holy heck, did you see the mouthful that kid took? He musta passed out from the cold headache..hope there weren't too many takes!

[Moviestar20]

wow!! I wish I lived in the 70s! everything seems so different to now!!

[lilbeatlesfangirl4]

I agree with you the '70s were better than this decade.

[Moviestar20]

it was'nt just better by my guess

I think it was perfect for me,

everything had more class and had real spirit. Now everythings down to my crap teenage generation I live in now.

[floooky1]

@lilbeatlesfangirl4 70's were the best, I wish I could go back.

[Channeldoria]

@lilbeatlesfangirl4 and your high.

[dfagnani]

@Channeldoria The 70 sucked,Dose anybody not remebember Vietnam?,Although I wasent born in the 70,Imv20

[badwx]

@dfagnani If you're only 20 years old, I hardly think you are in a position to make definitive statements about the 1970's. For example, you point to the war in Vietnam as an example to support your postion that the 70's sucked. You obviously don't realize that our involvement in Vietnam ended in 1973. Sure there were some bad things back in the 70's. But inflation, disco, pet rocks, bad color schemes and horrible fashion are like a walk in the park compared to the garbage going on today.

[Channeldoria]

@dfagnani i know it sucks thats what i was saying. everything is awesome now!!!

[yasudab1]

@dfagnani That's your opinion. To each his or her own

[yasudab1]

@dfagnani I've heard it was a fun time and one of the best, but again, to each his or her own

RF

[nirvanadude007]

@lilbeatlesfangirl4

Vat19 sells this exact product.

[internetfanboy69]

@lilbeatlesfangirl4 *cue next decade*

[jabobohroonie]

@lilbeatlesfangirl4 SO TRUE!

[InsanityOnABunExtras]

@lilbeatlesfangirl4 90's were the absolute best decade to be a kid

[jymbuss]

Where can you get these today?

[lastarria10]

aahh good old comercial now those comercial are getting stupid

[Treemeadow]

This ad still works. I bought one offline.

Not a glacierware one, but same product.

[peace0000009]

[peace0000009]

im going to call man let me see

[KazoWAR]

ITS NEW!

[GBCTwo]

Well spotted. He looks, unintentionally, utterly evil!

Well, I hope unintentionally........

[mediamadman747]

I had one of these and liked it.  I think they may have been pulled from the market at one point when it was discovered the freezer cylinders often leaked after being cleaned and dryed in the dishwasher.

[twilightprincess2013]

oh my god! 2 dollars!!! I'm gonna get one now!

[lastarria10]

its used to be

[hehe799]

i just called the damn number and nothing happend ???????

[mgdoran123]

Woodward & Lothrop is out of business.

[apologeticsman]

[tippete123]

that looks...

disgusting...

[sams2000bmw]

$2.95 holy crap!

you could buy a 1/10 ounce of gold in 1971 for 3 bucks

today $93.00

[youtuuberoxx]

[AmazingDude456]

these things are supercalafragelisticexpyaledot­ios

[yoyofreak01]

just got mine in the mail, its amazing

[hamtrak]

Coming soon: " the Mush Slug!"

[kaptainkidshow]

That's WTOP-TV (Channel 9 Washington, DC) staff announcer and weatherman John Douglas doing the voice-over tag for Woody's.

[onlymaggoo]

lol.i used to have the red one.and that cool looking bicycle at the begining of this video.if you didn't have a banana seat.and sissy bar and the chopper handlebars you weren't cool

[badmojo102]

banana seat, sissy bar and chopper handlebar, check. 5-speed stick shift on top frame rail, double check. Western Auto Stores ruled.

[hamtrak]

I begged for a pair of those goofy striped bell bottom slacks. Oh,I gotta pair alright........ about three inches too short! Can U say "High Waters"! I wore'm anyway.

[1959AverellHarriman]

The Dad is so sexy!

[debaucheryBotched]

Don't eat yellow slush

[Mike1964]

slush...what a treat!

[PhrozenSync]

i actually bought these for my self i had 5 roflmao

[budinboat]

i would call the number to get one

[wutzernutzer]

You can get them through the Vermont Country Store online.

[sahvannahnumerouno]

haha the numbers disconected.

[JohnDoeGeneric]

and they still sell em... =0)

[VeRTiGo9191]

Endless days of brain freezes and trips to go pee! ..wish I had one!!

[sterlinged]

OMG! I had one of these in the early seventies as well... One was for me and we had another one for my younger brother. I used it several times and then the novelty wore off I guess....

[Treemeadow]

my slushmug doesn't slsh that well...

[DaveT62]

I was the age of those kids, and must say this is the most accurate looking vignette of the era...for middle-class suburban kids. The clothing, bikes, haircuts..although maybe my Dad wasn't quite as dorky!

A WONDERFUL addition to You Tube, THANKS!

[CanadianFan]

they couldn't just go to 7-11? ;)

[red09323]

to think how easy days use to be those day

[bigdaddy40]

Slush Mug was developed to make people forget about the Vietnam War and herpes.

[Treemeadow]

So what'll they bring out to hide the War on Terror and AIDS?

[bigdaddy40]

My guess would be the "Slush mug and cell phone holder". It's not just a refreshing drink, but a handy holding device for any cell phone manufactured in China.

[Treemeadow]

mwahaha, dn't forget the Broadband connection and blue-tooth technology

[DoctorScissors]

I had one! Actually, two; one for my brother, one for me, and my sister was born later. HA HA!

Those things were awesome!!!!

[funkmike]

Get you Slush Mugs at Woody's

[imbok]

Slush mugs were Da Bom!

[tullynewyork]

White inner liner = asbestos? Aahh the 70s.

[colibri1]

I know you're kidding, but it was during the 70s that the public really started influencing the government to enact environmental legislation, including against asbestos. I'd even say that the US public was far more environmentally conscious during the 70s than they are today; it was before Reagan changed the national tone by mocking environmental concerns and enacting an explicitly anti-environmental agenda that is still the norm in the US today.

[almadora]

"...piled high on your spoon..." that's hilarious.

[HurricaneDylan]

LOL 7 elevan sodas

[sweetestmocha]

i grew up in the 80s and my sister and i had slush mugs! it sure did take a LOT of stirring and waiting for the drink to 'slush'! this brought back memories. i MUST find another one! thanks for posting.

[amtrakoplisanandreas]

damnit tha # is not in service!

[colibri1]

We loved these things as kids in the 70s. The icy texture they created was just so perfect, especially for root beer.

[jakeyboy69]

wow i want one!

[98nfsmw98]

i got 1 4 christmas ages ago...

[74VLAD]

i'm gonna call woody's to order mine! anyone know areacode that is?

[Docmananoff]

I remember those AND I remember when soda cans looked like that...lol

[musiktherapie]

We had these back in the 70s. They really worked! Ours cost only 95 cents each.

[atomik7]

Is it me or did it take an inordinate amount of stirring to get to the slush? I may have been an impatient kid but it still seemed to take a lot of work to get to the Slush payoff! 70's were sweeeet!

[overthehillsnfaraway]

The 70's RULED! I remember these things. They were great. Brings back great memories. Thanks!

[FY69]

I WISH I HAD A COUPLE OF THOSE THINGS.

[ladynole]

This makes me nostalgic for the 70's. My parents would make us slush and Jiffy Pop popcorn while we watched the Wonderful World of Disney on TV. Being a kid in the 70's was great. Thanks for your posts.

[celestialnavigator]

ladynole, your post made me nostalgic. loved shaking the jiffy pop on the stove and those wonderful world of disney's were great.

[wdrauch]

I remember that we would end up burning what seemed like half the Jiffy pop. What I remember fondly is Saturday nights making Chef Boyardee pizzas and then watching Dance Fever!

[sodpoo]

Awesome...I still have 4 of these and they still work great!

[MrSitcom]

My whole family had one. These were awesome.

[banlon1964]

The family replaced all food with...SLUSH.

[beartunes]

Was mom making her's out of Manischewitz Concord Grape wine?

[amazingeddie]

holy cow... I never thought of that...

I got hooked on that stuff when I was 11... it started with Passover and kiddush, havdala... and one night, I found myself guzzling in situtations where... let's just say no blessing was being made... suddenly, you've resparked the urge after 30 years of sobriety - - Yes... or what about a kedem slushy ?

[philmkcrackin]

awesome - my family had those.

Look at those pop cans - ancient

[sterlinged]

OMG! I got one of these in Houston while visiting my grandmother back in the early 70's!

[jolivia]

somehow these never made it to NYC. maybe we were too cool for slush?

[fenwyfrnk]

mmmmm slush

[JoleneSugarbaker]

I have my original Slush Mug and a Flinstones version.

I like how the mother in the video chooses a drink that looks like it's TAB...

Jolene Sugarbaker

The Trailer Park Queen

[veltro75]

I had one when I was a kid in the 80's. Pretty neat.

[exoticatikiroom]

Oh my GOD!!!!! I haven't even thought of these in 35 years! But I remember them! Vaguely, but I do remember them!

[rotkiv]

i used to have one of these. takes about 3-5 minutes to get the slush.

do they still make these?

[mimsy1]

Yeah the SAME company still makes them.

http://www.glacierware.com/

[ecwforever]

Those certainly were the good old days and for a lot more reasons than just those mugs! I wish I was old enough to actually enjoy them.

[dangerbird71]

We had these as well in the late 70's early 80's. I rememeber trying to put whatever beverage I could find in the mugs like chocolate milk and stuff. They were so cool!

[Ytsebadd]

My grandmother in Memphis had these. My sister and I loved making A&W Rootbeer and Coke slushes when we visited. This would have been around '73 or so.

[Toledo1837]

Like noticing the cans in the fridge used for it look to have beem bought at a 7-Eleven!

[cowboygeoff]

That voiceover guy at the end, sounds almost like Johnny Olson.

[Toledo1837]

I like just noticing it had that little tag/slide bit at the end telling you where to get these at. Too often I'm reminded of simular items and the number of places and logos shown on the screen for where to pick them up at (like Krazy Glue).

[level242]

Richard Nixon's America!We were all about plastic and polyester. The good old days. :)

[Toledo1837]

I only wish I was born a few years earlier to enjoy it.

[RAM71]

slush mugs ruled!!!!

[beckigreen]

i think im retarded because i cant figure out how these work.I understand how it works somewhat but how does it freeze the drink so fast?
