Both were established in the early years of the baby boomers and grew up with us. Disney films had been around before we came on the scene but Disneyland was a boomer rite of passage. I remember lots of fast food places...Dairy Queen, A & W Root Beer, Shakey's Pizza but none has had the impact on this country as McDonald's. And we were the first generation to grow up with fast food. Thinking about food, how about Swanson's TV dinners? We were the first generation with the supermarket and the large frozen food section. Coke has been around for over a 110 years, and the U.S. Army bought Harleys during WWI. I don't know how many of us remember the Brando movie "The Wild One" but Harley's were the brand of choice for the post-WWII motorcycle club member. Of course Disney brought us the Davey Crocker coon skin caps but where is Mattel on the list. A lot of my toys were Mattel, and my sister, also a boomer, still has a large collection of Barbies. Velveeta, Cheese Whiz, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, I'm not sure how far some of these go back but we were brought up on a lot of new brands of foods. How about Lay's potato chips? Bet you can't eat just one! And of course Tang, made for boomers and astronauts alike. Levi's jeans originated in the century before the last one so I think of them being before our time. Now as we got older, we were the first generation to truly embrace Dell, Microsoft, Gateway, the Baby Bell phone companies. And weren't we on the forefront of making names like Nokia and Blackberry (Research in Motion) and Palm famous. The Mustang was introduced about the same time as the last boomer was born. And I'm part of the generation, I think this probably just about splits us in half, who still remembers the Marlboro man on TV. I can still see him riding across that black and white western background. I think several of the brands mentioned in the original article may have appealed to us but were first made popular by our parents. Some by our parent's parents. But I'd throw in Cocoa Puffs, Captain Crunch and a bunch of other sweet breakfast cereals along with Pop Tarts. We were on the cutting edge of a new consumer society. Some of the post war items were designed to appeal to our parents but a lot of them were made to appeal to us! It was our constant nagging that brought fortunes to the companies that could make us think their products so desirable. We still have the driving power of the wallet but now I think we don't make the trends so much as follow them. I don't see Apple as a boomer company so much as the generations after us. Oh and if the author of the original article is going to put the Beatles in there, why not just throw in Rock and Roll? Rock is what defined us as a generation. It may have been Elvis, it may have been the Beatles or the Stones, or even the Beach Boys or the Allman Brothers but one way or another one thing that was definitely not our parent's generation was rock and roll!
