I stumbled on this Cracker Jack commercial which brought back so many memories! It's circa 1961 and features the great comedian and actor Jack Gilford.
It's actually quite a treat on my birthday to have such a pleasant memory of a simpler time. Notice the toys that the kids have: marbles, a yo-yo, and of course the coveted prize in the Cracker Jack box.
There isn't an electronic device in sight.
They're just hanging out on the boardwalk and aren't scheduled within an inch of their lives with karate class, playdates, or whatever else it is they make kids do today.
