Every then often, it’s appropriate to plough – briefly – away from the trials of today in addition to reverberate on the problems of the past: specifically, the ones we’ve solved, never to problem us again. It tin aid to restore our feel of potency. After all, how are nosotros to know our forcefulness except past times the loads we’ve lifted to date?
Some of those problems were existent doozies:
- Waxy Yellow Buildup: Older linoleum ofttimes changed coloring textile from whatever to yellow, because the polishes used dorsum when incorporated sealing agents that were close impossible to remove. That resulted inwards a lot of homemaker angst — inquire Louise Lasser – in addition to the replacement of a set out of otherwise expert linoleum floors. But today? No Problem!...mostly because people don’t install linoleum on their kitchen floors whatever longer.
- The Heartbreak of Psoriasis: Remember that one? Young adults ashamed to permit their elbows run into the sun, for fearfulness that the crusty patches would elicit derisive laughter? Oh, the pain, the pain...but no longer! Not solely do nosotros convey innumerable creams, pills, in addition to gentle abrasives; there’s hardly a percentage of the trunk which can’t endure bared for world display – in addition to who’s going to fixate on elbows when all that other flesh is on display?
- Five O’Clock Shadow: At 1 fourth dimension this was the manlike someone percentage worker’s greatest fear. The single-bladed razors in addition to electrical shavers of the solar daytime simply didn’t do a deep plenty job. But today nosotros convey security razors amongst then many blades inwards them that y'all require both hands to elevator them. And of course, the cultivation of pointless stubble – non solely is it unsightly, it catches nutrient simply equally efficiently equally a total beard – has transcend away a exercise equally well. So straight off v o’clock shadow is mainly a work concern for transwomen.
- Bad Breath In Dogs: This was a serious concern...though I can’t recall why, equally I don’t recall Canis familiaris owners French-kissing their pooches. Today’s pet-supply impresarios offering a multitude of palliatives for this malady. The 1 nosotros operate hither at the Fortress is called “Greenies:” petty toothbrush-shaped chewables that fight canine tartar in addition to halitosis at 1 stroke. And minced upwards fine, they transcend away great inwards a salad. (What, y'all don’t feed your dogs salads? You know, for...regularity!)
- Iron-Poor Blood: You convey to endure really former to recall this one. It was the big pitch of the Geritol commercials. But nosotros don’t run into those whatever more, do we? Probably because no 1 wants to acknowledge to existence former these days. I mean, we’ve been told that lxx is the novel 35, right?
- Smoking More But Enjoying It Less: Thanks to world anti-smoking campaigns (and the proliferation of “No Smoking Zones”) smoking at all is inwards a steep downtrend. Most remaining smokers are also demonstrably stupid – indeed, they demonstrate it at every opportunity, peculiarly during their times behind the steering bike of an car – which suggests that this work is on the manner to solving itself.
- Beer Jingles: If you’re a sports watcher of venerable years, y'all mightiness recall the Ballantine, Rheingold, in addition to Schaefer jingles. Indeed, y'all mightiness occasionally wake upwards inwards the wee hours in addition to discovery yourself humming 1 of them; that’s how catchy they were. But today’s beer commercials emphasize machismo, humor, in addition to calorie counts. Obviously, those things affair far to a greater extent than than a memorable lyric married to a bouncy tune, peculiarly if the game is into extra innings, y'all desire an “extra-dry treat,” in addition to are “having to a greater extent than than one.”
These are the ones I recall most vividly, in addition to amongst ingenuity in addition to endeavour we’ve conquered all of them! Be proud, Gentle Readers. That’s the form of can-do spirit that set men on the Moon! Though it’s been a spell since we’ve been there, hasn’t it? Must’ve slipped our minds.
