I had no idea they were that old! I would have said they've been around for 45-50 years!

If I'm not mistaken, the bikini was named for the Bikini Atoll, which was the site of many nuclear tests (American nuclear tests, I mean) during WWII. So it makes sense that it's 60 years old.

TOTALLY agree. I certainly spent plenty of time in a bikini when I had the body for it. I'd wear one now if it weren't for this extra bit of pudge I'm carrying around.
