What would you buy there if you had to visit in a time capsule and can bring anything back to now?

The K-Tel Record Selector, of course!

I like it, aside from that cringey kmart jingle that opens it. Christmas music is best heard in elevator style. So you can mostly ignore it but still appreciate the melodies a bit.

Levi's Sta-Prest trousers in mustard!

Would K-Mart sell Levi's? We had to go to special jean boutiques for name brand jeans back then.

I might check out sporting goods. Christmas decorations. Tons of greeting cards. American made tools? old brand school supplies.

This is what I'm getting. Why did people stop putting tinsel on their trees?

Pong was released in 1974, but only sold through Sears. We had one, and got totally bored with it in less than a month.

I would get me a tartan plaid bell-bottomed jumpsuit with low-cut bib and coordinating ruffled tuxedo blouse. We’re talking elephant bells, not bootcut!

I'd buy toys: Vintage mint-in-box stuff can be worth money.

I WORKED IN A GODDAMN K-MART IN THE MID-70S. I REMEMBER CHRISTMAS '74, I HAD JUST TURNED 50, TWICE DIVORCED, ONCE WIDOWED AND WAS WORKING THE COSMETICS COUNTER. ON THE 24TH AFTER A NIGHT OF WAITING TABLES. BUSY OFF MY ASS SO I SAID TO HELL WITH IT. LIT UP A CIG AND WENT THROUGH A COUPLE PACKS BY CLOSING TIME. THE SON OF A BITCH IN SPORTING GOODS PULLED THE FIRE ALARM ON ME, BUT SINCE I HAD BEEN SCREWING AROUND WITH THE FIRE CAPTAIN NOTHING CAME OF IT. STILL TOOK A BIG DUMP IN THAT PRICK'S TOOL BOX FOR GOOD MEASURE. YOU SHOULDA HEARD ME PEEL OUT OF THAT PARKING LOT IN MY '63 CHEVY BEL AIR WHEN MY SHIFT WAS OVER, CIG HANGIN FROM MY LIPSTICK AND WEARING MY LIME GREEN POLAROID COOL-RAY SUNGLASSES. AND I STILL HAD TO COOK CHRISTMAS DINNER FOR MY NO-GOOD FATTY SON WHEN I GOT HOME.

I’d buy these for 1.99 (not for 17.99, the asking price nowadays)

RUTH! I bet you still use real candles on your xmas tree.

This is going in my playlist. Are there any legendary Christmas songs written after 1974? The only one I could think of is that Mariah Carey one, and perhaps John Williams score for Home Alone.

R12 Tell me about the frying cat? Does it do more than just donuts?

How did a cat get in the vat? Was it trying to get the donuts?

Mariah Carey Christmas is an abomination to Jesus Christ.

Thanks for sharing this, OP. It brought back a lot of memories as well as a PTSD relapse.

What's going down in Section3? At 13:26, Security is called to Section 3. At least they were nice enough to wait for the song to end before they interrupted.
