I was about 6 when the 40s ended.
I remember a lot of the advertising slogans.
The music in my house was 78s- Hank Williams, Eddy Arnold and Hank Thompson.
The radio was all soap operas- Me Perkins was one I remember.

I don't believe bell bottoms and McDonald's were part of the forties. ;)

The Chiquita Banana Jingle

"I'm Chiquita banana and I've come to say - Bananas have to ripen in a certain way - When they are fleck'd with brown and have a golden hue - Bananas taste the best and are best for you - You can put them in a salad - You can put them in a pie-aye - Any way you want to eat them - It's impossible to beat them - But, bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator - So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator."

The man who lives in 1946
BBC.com

Ben Sansum is 35. But he lives in 1946.

His clothes, his house, the music he listens to - all come from an era before he was even born.

He has always been interested the 1940s, but it is an interest that has grown over the years. He's gone from buying reproduction furniture for his house to tracking down the real thing. His 70-year-old carpet is his latest pride and joy.

BBC News went to meet Ben at home in Cambridgeshire.

...the company [McDonald's] began in 1940 as a barbecue restaurant operated by Richard and Maurice McDonald; in 1948 they reorganized their business as a hamburger stand using production line principles.
