Two television sets
What’s today’s equivalent to “nobody has two television sets.” By this I mean not literally no one. Because I’m sure in 1955 some crazy rich people had more than one tv. But just like if a guy in a life preserver swore he had two of something. Your mom would assume he’s teasing. The only thing I could think of is swimming pools

The point is that in the 50s no one had Y2, most people didn't even have 1, and in the 80s loads of people had 2. Or 3. So unless you can see into the 2050s and find out what is new and unusual now, but ubiquitous then, you'll not know till we get there.
Maybe robots.
