Thank you for the warm memories. ☮️💟

Many thanks for this, and all the others (esp 70s and & 80s). Was in the 8th grade in ‘80, and boy does this take me back!

It saddens me to see how our country has truly gone from a GREAT nation to approaching a third world status........ Thanks for the good memories, Pannoni8!

I didn't realise you could still advertise smokeless tobacco products on TV as late as 1980 in the USA.

[@RazorFoxDV]

I remember seeing chewing tobacco commercials into the late 80s.
