2.  POLYESTER LEISURE SUITS  a fashion of the 1970s, consisting of a shirtlike jacket and matching pants. Frequently the fabric used was double knit polyester, though not all fashions using this fabric are automatically leisure wear. In fact, the fashion has some precedent in styles of the 70s and earlier, but only became popular when -- with the creation and popularization of synthetic materials -- unprecedented cheapness met with a culture that had come to hate formality. The leisure suit gained popularity with its promise to bring a stylish suit that could be used in formal business, but was comfortable and trendy enough for every day wear.

4.  So the '30s had passed and toward the end of the 1960s, something re- emerged: those thick chunky platform shoes. This time round, however, the shoes took on a new dash of flavor. By 1975, platforms were so common and fashionable that, to be "hip," at least 2 inch soles and 5 inch heels were required.  It was during these years that experimentation with fashion, not only drugs and sex, broke all kinds of rules of the pretentious 50s. Men, as well as women, adorned platforms. Pop art emulated the platform shoe, and by 1971, it was considered the most exciting year in shoe design, not only for the population but for Pop artists. The colors and designs were raved as "psychedelic," for their swirls and colors. It was during the 1970s that the platform shoe experienced it's most playful and colorful look.

25.  popular fad on college and university campuses, a toga party is a particular kind of costume party in which everyone wears a toga, or a semblance thereof, normally made from a bed sheet, and sandals.

Ivan Reitman was one of the producers of Animal House, who attended McMaster University and stayed in Whidden Hall. which is reputed to be the origin to the toga party.

27.  Pet Rocks were a 1970s fad conceived in Los Gatos, California by an advertising executive Gary Dahl. The first Pet Rocks were ordinary gray pebbles bought at a builder's supply store and marketed as if they were live pets. The fad lasted only about six months, ending with the Christmas season in December 1975; but in its short run, the Pet Rock made Dahl a millionaire.  In 1975, Dahl established "Rock Bottom Productions", a company that sold the rocks for US$3.95 each. The pebbles, imported from Rosarito Beach in Baja California, Mexico, were swaddled in excelsior and nestled in a small cardboard box, similar to a pet carrier. A "Pet Rock Training Manual," with instructions on how to properly raise and care for one's newfound pet (notably lacking instructions for feeding), was included. The instruction manual contained several commands that could be taught to the new pet. While "sit" and "stay" were fairly easy to accomplish, "roll over" usually required extra effort on the part of the trainer. "Come" was found to be impossible to teach reliably.
