THE BEST!!!!??

I still have the old 7UP glass. I just bought 7Up cherry 🍒 juice and lime to make cherry lime aid 😋

7UP tasted so much better back then.

I had a neighbor that would get absolutely ripped on Rainier beer. It was full of stuff like formalin that would pickle ones brain.

~ I had: 38 Special (Wild Eyed Southern Boys), Michael Jackson (Off the Wall), AC/DC (High Voltage & Dirty Deeds), Boston (Boston), Cars (Candy-O)... just to name a few

That was noted actor Keye Luke as the elder man reciting to his son the "old" Asian proverb. My first job was at 7 years old in Houston, TX where the manager of an Arthur Treacher Fish & Chips found me behind his restaurant up to no good and told me to come inside and sweep floors. Paid me in pocket change. That was during the mid-'70s and I never forgot it.

Straight up bullshit

Another PC brands that no longer is Emachines

My first computer was the Radio Shack Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer III

My father used call Schlitz, "long leak malt liquor."

Yes please

The joking references Kaypro made about the prices of PCs was very real in the 1980s. Trying to get a good quality brand PC in the 1980s generally ran around $2K (US) back then, which would equate to around $5K ~ $6K (US) in 2024. There were always 'add-ons' needed to make the PC function well back then; which would raise the PC price by hundreds of dollars. Software was especially pricey back then, costing hundreds of dollars with a very limited scope of capabilities. When comparing the functionality and cost of PCs and the apps from the 1980s to the present, the PCs nowadays offers some of the best bargains to be found in any commerce sectors, save for the price/performance to be found with HDTVs.

The technology leaps made with removable data storage from then to now is nothing short of phenomenal! Back in the heydays of the PCs in these TV ads, removable floppy diskettes, of five-and-a-quarter inch size, of 360 Kb to 720 Kb of memory capacity were the standards; it was then raised to 1.2 MB in the 1980s. Nowadays, an SD card no larger than a postage stamp can store TWO MILLION MB of data.

Where's Commodore??

My first computer was the Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer II when I was 11 years old. Learned to program in BASIC on that system and created a short animated movie (which I erased b/c I thought it sucked). Also played a couple of (proprietary) video games on it with the cartridges in the side slot. Stored programs on a separate standard portable audio cassette recorder since there were no hard drives then. Good times.

It's a shame TI didn't succeed in the PC business, since they were the ones who invented the microchip.

I find none of these meals attractive in any way, they are indicative of processed junk food of the most dubious nutritional value.

I remember some of these.

Technology, the beginning of the downfall of humankind.

Was that F. Murray Abraham in the Xerox commercial?

Fat Frog Forever 🐸

Well the saddest part here for me was the loss of Toshiba, I had no idea they left in 2018, I'd seen a few Sharp before but had little encounters, and I never heard of Dynabook. But Toshiba were a main part of my entire experience as a Technician, they were everywhere here. and we still have Dell and HP (rolls my eyes) also still have a Compaq laptop, I never had issues with the Compaq PC in any form, but HP was another thing, I do prefer the Compaq brand label, HP makes me think of Steak Sauce.

That wood china cabinet. I swear I’ve seen that in at least three friends’ homes

Kaboom, 70 percent Sugar, A clown's double ugly mug on the box, I'd take, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Froot Loops & Apple Jacks any day, Cmon Really General Mils was much better off with Lucky The Leprechaun, Trix the Silly, Rabbit, The Cheerios Kid, Rocky & Bullwinkle , Dudley Do Right 's Frosty Os, A hideous clown face like that,Would make Pearl Pure Hearfrom the Mighty Mouse Cartoons Scream & cry. Fear not Pearl Pureheart, Here I come to save the Day! Mighty Mouse.

Two candy bars I miss are Snik Snak,which was a carbon copy of Kit Kat and Marathon,which was just chocolate and caramel in a twisted pattern.

I used to have one of these

Oh lawd, I remember this ad, the product, and the slogan (Fine makeup, sensibly priced).

I remember the Libbyland dinners as a kid. I also remember the LeMenu dinners. ❤

Forget the soda unforgettable memory of the discontinued

For real tho, u ain't getting old...u r there😂😂😂

Claudia Schiffer in quello spot non si riconosce proprio!

Sara shoulda made the trip. Turns out that was her dad’s last Christmas walk. He suffered an aortic dissection the next fall, and died 😢. Dont be Sara.

I skip through these beeping ones fast because the sound is so annoying.

This was from Salem's Lot, late 70s. I was like 10 or so, scared me pretty good.

For homemade popsicles, and you could snap them into each other to make stuff.

This is Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman) from his 1970 Yearbook.

My mother would save up books and book of these then go get free stuff from a special store in another town. They had a catalog that told you how many stamps things cost. You get the stamps based on what you spend at the grocery store.

I renigged😅

I never paid them a cent. lol.

Styx pieces of 8 was the first one to arrive!

I was a kid back in the 70s and ordered that. I didn't know any of the bands I was ordering but I thought it was a deal too good to pass up. I was grounded for two weeks when my mom found out 😕

LOL. Did anyone ever make the required payments.

Gone but not forgotten? Totally forgotten.

I couldn't believe it when they discontinued Caravelle! That was one of my favorites. Powerhouse was good too!

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air....

How fitting you chose that particular time mark for Chuck Woolery's Fab ad-2:02.

Such a pleasant commercial and music.

Honestly since they still serve they should bring back the hotdogs cuz chili dogs are amazing

I'd like to see that old COKA-COLA commercial with Keanu Reeves, circa 1981 He's seen riding a 10 speed bicycle in a race, coupled with a pulsating song. At the end of the ad after he wins the race, a reporter asks "Who was your inspiration. To which he replies "My dad!"
