My favorite Pepsi Memory is of my grandfather coming home from work, opening his lunch box up and sharing a pepsi & moon pie with me. Sweet memories I will cherish.

Oh I loved the ’60’s and ’70’s I was a kid then! I graduated high school in 1979!! What a memory that WAS. I loved my high school days. Those were such special times. I have a twin sister and we had a Blast. I was a good student and my friends were good kids. WE did not get into trouble and we studied had and got good grades but BOY did we have fun. We loved the music, Bee Gees, John Denver, Beach Boys, and Life on Long Island!!

I was born in the late 70s so I don’t know much about it, but my mom did put me in a lot of bell-bottomed pants back then. I have the pictures to prove it.

I remember watching Beetle Juice when it first came out. That was the crave back then and I remember everyone for months after that movie trying to dress like the little girl in the movie (don’t ask me her name…I forget).
Those were the good ole days. I wish sometimes that we were still back there/ if only for a moment.

I was born in 1978, so I can’t really think of any memories from the 70’s & of course not the 60’s. One of my favorite pictures of me though is in 1980 when I was 3. I was holding a glass bottle of pepsi, lol. I just picked up a 12 pack of the throwback Pepsi!
32 May 6th, 2009 at 11:28 am
The greatest event of the 60’s or 70’s was that I was born in 67. This sounds like a common theme in these comments!

I got here doing a search for Pepsi Throwback coupons. I was pretty little in the 1960’s and I graduated from high school in the 1970’s. The ’60s was a much simpler time. Violent crime was shocking and rare, from what I remember. I could ride my bike for miles and miles and never be bothered! I really miss those times….
37 May 6th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
My favorire memory is of the Disco music coming out and the movie Saturday Night Fever. Must have seen that movie a hundred times.

Well, I only made it here for 4 months of the 60’s, so I don’t have any memories from that era, but I did have some awesome bell bottom rainbow pants for my first day of 5th grade in ‘79
Thanks for the opportunity,

My dad loved Pepsi and he made a Pepsi lover out of me. We drank it out of glass bottles in the 60’s,into the 70’s. He even taught me the Pepsi jingle from when he was a kid: “Pepsi Cola Hits the Spot…12 Full Ounces is a Lot…Twice as Much…For a Nickle Too…Pepsi Cola’s the Drink for You!” Now my daughter sings it too.

I love the style of the 60s and 70s… one of my favorite things: the exaggerated eye make up. Lots of dark mascara and white eyeshadow, it worked so well back then, but not so much now. Ha!
