The 1960s saw countercultural forces butting up against decades of tradition — a phenomenon that could be seen in the stories shown on the small screen in living rooms across America. Let’s take a trip to the past with these eight TV shows that dominated the decade.
 

Canada Dry • 1960

​

More than just ginger ale—Canada Dry offered a colorful lineup of flavored sodas, from orange and grape to root beer and cola. A great snapshot of the brand’s variety back then.

Mexican Hats are a gummy candy developed by the Henry Heide Candy Company, also the manufacturer of Jujubes and Jujyfruits, in 1958. Original flavors included cinnamon, spice, and licorice. The brand was sold numerous times to different companies including Hershey and Ferrara, but was abandoned many years ago

Did you know that Tiny Size Chiclets aren't just a burst of flavor but a throwback to simpler times, all the way back to 1962? These pint-sized pieces of gum pack a punch of nostalgia along with their vibrant taste. Remember the catchy jingle from their heyday, "Tiny, tiny Chiclets, they're fun to chew and share, a little minty, a little sweet, flavor everywhere!"? It’s a melody that sticks harder than gum under a school desk!

If you want to see Detroit’s most powerful executives break into a cold sweat, simply ask them about American Motors in 1969. While GM was nervously tinkering with front-engine Corvettes and Ford was cutting exotic deals with De Tomaso, the humble budget-builders at AMC secretly funded a total bloodbath. They hired Ferrari 250 GTO engineer Giotto Bizzarrini to design a mid-engine weapon, crammed in a 390-cubic-inch V8, and handed it to BMW for testing. BMW’s engineers were stunned—the AMX/3 hit 170 mph at Monza with a chassis stiffer and more capable than almost anything leaving Italy. It was an absolute masterpiece meant to humiliate the establishment. But when projected costs spiked past $12,000 and new federal bumper mandates loomed, AMC’s accountants panicked and pulled the plug. Ford and Chevy didn't win that war; they were just saved by AMC’s spreadsheets.
