Years go by, times change, new epochs come. From a historical perspective, the Soviet Union ceased to exist not so long ago. However, people's lives have changed dramatically over the past 30 years. What is really there: many things from the 1990s today look like "historical artifacts." Today, let us recall a few more amusing things that look something outdated, not only for today's youth.

In the arsenal of every Soviet hostess there was a wooden washboard. For many, they were inherited altogether. Some of these boards were even hand-made, brought by ancestors from the villages during the years of significantly increased urbanization a decade before and then after the Second World War.

In the 20th century, electronic devices in the USSR did not yet have the same degree of distribution as they do today. Many kitchen appliances were mechanical. Including squeezing juice it was possible with such metal devices. A dozen squeezed apples replaced physical education.

3. Boiler

It is not that modern man does not know at all what a boiler is, but it is quite obvious that in our era such devices are used less and less. It's good if most of us last used a boiler somewhere between the 1990s and 2000s.

4. Boiled condensed milk

For three hours you cook a can of condensed milk from the store and you get a delicious treat. In Soviet times, every second child did this. Today, condensed milk is good if it is boiled to create any kind of confectionery. At best, many members of the younger generation have only heard that this happens! And some don't know at all.

5. Milk in the pyramids

Milk in the pyramids is one of the symbols of the period of stagnation in the USSR, which is considered by many representatives of the older generation to be one of the most fertile in history. For a modern person, milk in pyramids looks completely strange. How can anything be poured into such a strange vessel?

Surely every house still has one! Somewhere in the back closet, and it is folded in disassembled form, probably in an old Soviet bag. Today, most people buy automatic electronic meat grinders. And this is true, because it is much better to go to the gym or to the playground for physical activity, and not to the kitchen of your own apartment.

7. Birch juice

From time to time, birch sap appears in stores today. It's amazing how they haven't started aerating it yet. But in the Soviet years, as well as in the 1990s, many prepared this drink themselves. The annual traditional collection of juice in the village or at the dacha was one of the most important "entertainments" in the springtime. Many will agree that the taste of the store is far from the same.
