Young people have no idea what it used to smell like. For a decade everything reeked of smoke and hairspray.

Everywhere you went felt like a bowling alley.

Everything you touched had a thin sticky layer of cigarette smoke gunk on it. Hell I remember doctors casually smoking in examination rooms.

They changed the oils they cooked with from tallow to whichever vegetable oil is cheapest. Those newer oils burn at cooking temperature and add a flavour to the fried meat

That happened in the late '80s when the lies about saturated fat became popular
