I was born in the late 40s I loved playing scrabble in my teens and I still play it on my iPad with various friends world wide It’s really great fun, I also do a 99 piece jigsaw every night on my iPad, at least these jigsaws don’t need a table or floor space and the pieces click into place.

I counted at least 15 items/ activities that were around in the 50s. So basically it’s rubbish.

and earlier. I was born in 1943. I was a young mother in the 1970s and remember qute a number of these from my own childhood - especially the Clark's sandals. I had a pair of those as indoor shoes when I started school in 1948.

I do remember I wore the sandals in the 60s my mum used to whiten them with a chalky liquid. I left school in 72 to work in a shoe shop then a furriers. I seemed to go from one job to the other until hairdressing apprenticeship.

The fashions went from one extreme to the other mini skirts and hot pants to maxi dresses. The music was very mixed I like T Rex Rod Stewart and the music of Tamla Motown.

There's no claim they only existed in the 70s, so don't see why you dismiss it as "rubbish".
I remember potato puffs from the 1960s, don't remember them in the 70s but l changed school so probably the new school didn't sell them.
Curlywhirly (sp?) have definitely been subject to shrinkflation.
