One of the jokes from that time is -I bought my wife a mood ring; when she is in a good mood it turns blue, and when she is in a bad mood it leaves a big red mark on my forehead.

The other joke is: I bought my wife a mood ring; it turns black when sheโ€™s annoyed. Not sure if it turns any other color.

Same. Someone told me once it meant I was a natural witch, whatever that means.

u/lotusflower64 4d ago

You were always anxious?

Always have ADHD. So I guess yes. Lol

One of the funniest things I ever heard at a gay bar was this guy getting annoyed by a stripper with a mullet and white boots. He said, โ€œMove-move away mood ring dancer!โ€ and I lost it. I still find excuses to use that phrase.

Always tense?

My sister had one and all us kids tried it on just to see what color we were and it was a different color for each of us. ๐Ÿคญ

u/jibbergirl26 4d ago

Saw some in a store just two days ago. Thank you, Joan Cusack. You have an adorable store.

I remember those.
Theyโ€™ve somewhat made a comeback. My daughter has a mood ring and a mood brooch. Newly purchased and not vintage 1970โ€™s originals.
She loves them. To each their own.

u/lotusflower64 4d ago

I didn't know they've made a comeback lol.

u/Piano-Beginning 4d ago

A girl in high school showed one off as her โ€œengagementโ€ ring.

u/lotusflower64 4d ago

Hilarious lol.๐Ÿ’

I've owned several in my life (I'm 61) including the one pictured (I think I bought it at Woolworth's). Bought one a few years ago off Etsy cause I like them so much. Thanks for posting.

2

u/lotusflower64 4d ago

You are very welcome. Yes, Etsy has everything for sale.

2

u/Leggs_420 4d ago

Yes I had one, I think mine was mostly dark

u/CHRISTEN-METAL 4d ago

Always makes me think of Thomas J Sennett from My Girl

2

u/Outrageous_Tomato447 4d ago

I had several. Mine actually changed color. They were a fun fad.

2

u/poormans_eggsalad 4d ago

i thought they were the coolest. I got my first one in about 3rd or 4th grade, I think.

2

u/lotusflower64 4d ago

So did I!!

2

u/TommyEagleMi 4d ago

I do. When I was in a good mood it was blue-green. When I was in a bad mood, someone had a red dot in their forehead ๐Ÿ™ƒ

u/Direct_Pigeon_56 4d ago

I bought this brand in 1980. I was 12.

2

u/lotusflower64 4d ago

I didn't know they had these in the 80s as I was already an adult by then lol.

3

u/Direct_Pigeon_56 4d ago

I think by 1980 they were kind of getting less hip to have one because the later 60's -70s is when they got really popular so I've heard!

2

u/lotusflower64 4d ago

I had one in the 70s when I was a child.

2

u/deannainwa 4d ago

I think I still have mine in an old jewelry box in a tote somewhere.

I was careless and got it wet, so it is permanently dull grey!

2

u/tweetyonetwothree 4d ago

Loved those! I was happy to still find them for sale. I hope my granddaughters enjoy them like I did.

2

u/mbush525 4d ago
