First the suggestions. And then no. Dont drive under the cocktail influence.

Sounds like a solid person. I hope he found someone (nice)!

If we post it on TikTok and call it the Vaccination Challenge, this wouldn't be a problem.

Wait, I can fix it. If it were a married woman, it would get its bottom pinched by her respectful and adoring husband of over 20 years. There, I defanged it.

Omg.... ray-ban refers to banning sunrays?! I was today years old to realize, lol

Looking at the price is honestly so weird, like I know it wasn't technically that long ago, but the value of money changing so much is baffling :]

I saw the "sneak preview" of Jaws - can you imagine?!!! For those unfamiliar, a "sneak preview" was when they released a movie at a handful of theaters with ZERO plot information or 2 minute preview ads. All you had to go on was the poster. Obviously Jaws was about a big scary shark, but nothing could have prepared 17 year old me for that movie...so great and one of my favorite memories.

I remember turning it on after midnight, to check if it still worked. It did (OS was Windows 98).

I find the 'turn key' part interesting. It sounds like they made the light switch mimic a gas valve to help people adjust to it.

I miss these.

btw back then the word meant happy, not homosexual. And yes the rainbow and bright colors were associated with that. Later when the gay rights movement took the term gay for themselves to counter the slur terms, they also adopted the bright colors and rainbow associated with the word as well

God imagine the royal flamestorm that would erupt if they tried this ad today.

As the world has moved, for reasons I don't understand, to monochrome minimalism, I'll take it. At least it's bright and cheery.

It's easy to murder people when you have no fear whatsoever of the electric chair.

Five weeks after this ad, "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" premiered, getting her another Oscar nomination.

Saving this to show to the kids that don't believe me!

1969. Says so right there at the bottom of the of the ad.

Great ad.

Maybe they need an ad like this again, across all platforms. Not just minority girls either, but all girls. Encourage them that they don't have to dream of being an influencer or Instagram model. Be a scientist that discovers the next big breakthrough. Go to Mars. Go into cyber security. Anything that doesn't involve how many likes you get online.

I read Penn tennis ball as Pen¡$ ball..

Who's flying the plane?

How ironic.

Note that neither of them are walking.

F**k no! Not in those heels!

A&W looks to be the one that changed their logo the least.

Looking out the window would probably convince you, I'd have thought. But that does look pretty awesome!

It does look kinda Tripod-ish.

Translucent plastics yellow over time. So yeah... it's beige now.

I bet the house was clean and the neighborhood was vacuumed.

Another light bulb appliance to burn kids

I've got the yellow one.

That's not a home entertainment system, that's a parade float.

My first computer was a Commodore 64 - 64K (K, not M) of memory. Half of that was the operating system.

Better than harvest gold or burnt orange - or all three in the same room

These were actually pretty good

It was nice when the buttons were in the handset. . .

I had a red one when I was a teenager. Used to listen to it in bed with the earphone and would fall asleep with it on. Wish I still had it.

Cyndi Lauper, Debbie Gibson, and Madonna.
