@RetroToledo My grandmother was quite poor in the 1950s as well. To her, it was a decade...she has no complaints about the decade, but doesn't actively try to relive it. Actually, she seems to have been fine with most of the decades she has lived through (though oddly, she prefers the 90s over the 80s, which is unexpected!)

@MattTheSaiyan It certainly was a notch upwards a bit. My mom grew up in that era herself though I recall she was quite poor anyway.

@MattTheSaiyan Seems that way.

@MattTheSaiyan At least he got to live a good life.

The commercials are promoting an ideal. That is, if you buy this product you'll look beautiful, successful, intelligent. Although our standards of beauty have radically shifted you can still see that the people in these commercials are not bad looking people.

@ladydreamer08 Last thing you said was stupid. Most commercials these days are NOT sexual at all unless its selling a sex product. Most adds arn't sexual what so ever. The only difference in commercial wise was that the 50's had commercials that would make you want to buy it. Nowadays they're not so influencing

I find it amazing that the guy at the end of this commercial is still alive. His name is Tony Martin and he was born 1912. He married a beautiful dancer named Cyd Charisse in 1948, and they remained married until her death in 2008 (aged 86).

@Methoswicca Middle-class people living in the suburbs are not "rich". It seems like 48% of people idealise the decade too much, and 48% of people hate the decade as if it ran over their pet dog. The remaining 4% are indifferent.
