If you were around in 1972 maybe you remember this:

1) A gallon of gas was 55 cents
2) The average income was $11,800
3) The average cost of a house was $27,500
4) The average rent was $165.00 a month
5) The top song was "The first time ever I saw your face" by Roberta Flack
6) Dawn dishwashing detergent had just come out
7) The Top TV Shows were:
a) The Brady Bunch
b) Sesame Street
c) The Benny Hill Show
 
In 2026 Dollars that would equate to:

1) A gallon of gas was $4.39
2) The average income was $94,273
3) The average cost of a house was $219,750
4) The average rent was $1,318 a month
 
As the French say, "Plus ca change, plus ca la meme chose".... The more things change the more things remain the same.
 
Being an attempted model builder in my teens I do remember these testors. So did mom when she smelled them in my room.
