I talked to my Dad tonight, he's getting older. Mom passed a few years back. My older brother passed about a decade ago. I miss the old house where these old commercials played in a care-free time. I miss what was, never to be seen again. Good memories. My children live these memories now.
A quote from the movie, Interstellar (2014), has Matthew McConaughey saying, "Now we're just here to be memories for our kids." That one's stuck with me as it has the ring of truth about it.
I was born in 1980 and i miss the 80s and 90s it was still a simpler life. Im 43 now and so many changes since my childhood . Really wish i could go back . Im thankful i grew up back then though .
While I do like modern times better, I do agree with your sentiment. People seemed more naturally patient since things were slower. You would wait in line without looking at your phone and your attention span would be longer back then.
I was born in 2007, unlike most people here. I have a deep obsession for 80s media. I collect cassettes, records and VHS tapes. I absolutely love this because I get to see what not just my parents saw, but what every other American saw during my absolute favorite time period.
I wasn't born in the 80s, but I really wish I could've experienced at least a little bit of it, things seemed so happy and warm. I have so much respect for the 80s.
I was born 1992 and I always say it was the best decade to be a kid. However, I’ve always had this obsession with the 80s so I do wish I got to experience it too.
Believe me we all are gonna miss the 2020s after 20 years and I know that so enjoy and think for the future. Not always feeling bad for the days which are gone and can't get it back so ENJOY
I used to call my grandmother while I was in junior high. I would go hang out at her house. I would lay on her couch watching soaps while she made me elbow macaroni in milk, with butter and salt and pepper. I would love to go back, if even for a day.
The days of our lives really got me. I remember my mom picking me up from school and me doing my homework while she watched days. Then after that she would get supper going. I sure do miss those days RIP mom
We pay extra money on streaming services so we can binge watch our favorite shows ad-free then we all go on youtube and binge watch an hour of commercials from the 1980s. What a world.
As a kid in the 80s, I used to hear adults say things like "where has the time gone?" and "the years fly by". Now that I'm here in 2022 watching these 80s commercials, some I actually remember when they were airing, I'm now the one saying wow, the years flew by. It just seems like yesterday these commercials were on TV.
Interesting. I was born in 84 and the only one I vaguely remembered was the transformer one… and for some reason the bank commercial with all the people standing together talking in unison 🤣🤣🤣 but I also wasn’t allowed to watch tv. I had a mean foster mother.
Ditto. I was born a few months later. It was awesome. I feel for kids and teens today. In the name of the 'progressive movement' life has deteriorated to the precipice of collapse. When will people wake up.
Okay, pause!!!! This video opens up with Vincent price talking to me as a giant polar bear advertising a wine cooler… I know I’m in for a good time now!

Being alive in the 80's is what makes this so damned fun to watch. Combine that with being a child in the 80's and this is just a warm hug for sure.

I was born in 1977 so I remember a little more than half of these commercials at least. The 80's remind me of more simpler happy times in my life. Nice to take a trip down memory lane watching these commercials!
I’m from 92 but I was raised on 70s and 80s nostalgia. Parents are from 67-69. I feel like I love this stuff at least almost as much as people who were there. I just want to pray that people stay safe and take care of themselves. Be good to your families. If you are watching you are blessed.
Oh my GOD I watched so much TV during these years, watching this was an absolute time machine. The commercials is when I would let my mind wander… so many memories came back from watching these.
right, all you see to day are insurance, medicare /medicade , exercise equipment commercials ,drug commercials. you the know the world is going in the wrong direction when even the commercials were better back then .
The Italian Hamburger Helper commercial with the Helping Hand sporting a mustache, speaking and singing with an Italian accent would now result in million dollar lawsuits and widespread butthurt!
Smoking seems like a weird thing to be nostalgic for truth be told. Like leaded gasoline or asbestos in your walls. I sure as hell don't plan on getting nostalgic about the microplastics filling my body right now.
@@kryonight2869Ever read the warning that comes with your cell phone? Dr. Robert O. Becker, now deceased, wrote some books about the dangers of cell phone towers, antennas, low level microwaves. Not high enough to heat tissue doesn't necessarily equal 'safe'. He thought it was the biggest and most dangerous experiment ever done on mankind as every cell in our body vibrates at low frequency.
During the 60's, you had a lot of cigarette ads. The 70's and 80's were the best because the technology got way better but you didn't yet have all the duplication, ads between the quarter hour, the lawyer ads and prescription drugs every other minute.
Life was simple back then . There was no internet There was no Facebook There were no Cell Phones People curled up in the lounge room at night to watch TV . There was nothing else to do back then . Wish I could go back in time and relive the 80s . Totally hate the 2020,s
I do like modern times better but there was definitely something magical about the 80s. It’s easier to travel the world now due to so much information…..However if you traveled to another country back in the 80s it felt more surprising and there was a bigger sense of mystery to it which in some ways enhanced the experience
Born 1980. We were born during the calm of the century. Right before free love which was also bad ass btw but very hectic and right before the 90s Era when things would start to change drastically. The 80s was so simple. Im proud to be an 80s baby.
I was born in 96 and feel connected to the 90s... Hell, I think the 90s lasted until about 2006. People dressed the same, there were smoking sections in restaurants, we had VHS, NES, and listened to 80s and 90s music.
I actually saw an oil of Olay empty container at my grandmothers house I asked why did she keep it and she said she kept it because it was a small piece of her best time in life while she was still some what young My grandmother is 52 I’m 13 btw and I honestly wish I was born in the 80’s it just seemed so fun and wholesome back then
I was born in the 70s, a child in the 80s, and I’m a big fan of BTS! I noticed your name and profile picture and just thought I’d comment. Yes, the 80s were wholesome and fun, and I miss them very much. But although we did have New Kids on the Block, we didn’t have BTS! I’d rather have BTS. 😁💜
It was amazing and better compared to now. I was born in 80 and I remember everything feeling so much safer and secure. People were nicer, the holidays were magical, and overall it just a wholesome time and place.
R.c. was great. My bf's mom always sent us to the store (located about a 2 minute walk from her house) to get a 2 liter of R.C. and it was just as good. Coke-- too strong and fizzy, I preferred Pepsi and R C is a good alternative.
It’s funny how I will record shows so I can fast forward the commercials but then come on TH-cam to watch old commercials. I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s but I watched so many of those commercials that this was recommended to me on TH-cam... and it was very enjoyable.
What I miss the most about 70s and 80s commercials even though I wasn't alive for most of them, are the ones where they all seem to like get together and sing in a choir. Like the Bank One one. There was a lot of jingle choir singing in that era and it was always catchy and sounded really good. Now everything's like Auto-Tune or terrible rock in ads.
"watch the tram car please" I used to wait all year for our wildwood vacation!! I remember being like 8 or 9 yrs old n thought I was the shit on the boardwalk wearing my fringed shirt with the iron on decal of a cat with a rose my colored bike shorts n my side ponytail with teased bangs😂 😂😂So fun!! I take my kids now..not quite the same but it's still a good time. Thanks for this comment!!
I was born in 1976. 4 years later I would get to live in the best decade ever. These commercials are a great example of that!. I remember quite a lot of them and it’s funny how much better they were than the ones on tv now.
Randomly I started to sing the Mrs. Smith pie commercial from 1986, so I decided to remince on my youth and search out 80's commercials. Thanks for the hour long video!
@@Etta319 Plus it includes movies and tv shows titles, before or after commercials!! I love that, feeling wonderfully nostalgic and missing the 80s 🥲 these videos have been a great time capsule!! ❤️
I wish I the power to travel through time.........saturday mornings with a big bowl of cereal playing some games or watching some cartoons...............
Me too! I remember watching The Smurfs on Saturday morning. My sisters and I would wake up super early to watch it. I LOVED those days. I really miss the 80's. Wish I could go back...at least for a little while.
Playing with my Lego sets in the living room while watching one of the best cartoons ever - Dungeons & Dragons! Ahh the early to mid 80s was the best time to be a kid!
This reminds me of the past, growing up, enjoying life. People smiled and were kind. Now days when I see people or speak to them it's like the lights are on but nobody is home or they just have an unnecessary attitude. We all know now that everything we see, hear and live in daily is so full of hatred and spite but we also know who is responsible. I had a conversation the other day about how bad things are as an American and that there is no escape, no where else to go. We are all stuck on this sinking ship with the ones that shot holes into the hull. I hope everyone watching these videos and reading the comments enjoys their memories because those are the things that no one can ever take away, Be at peace, my friends.
I wish there was a channel that showed some of those tv weeknight movies instead of some of these networks that only show the same thing over and over again
I hate it when a modern era ad shows up when I'm enjoying nostalgia like this.. It's like the 21st century is trying to intrude when I'm watching the 1980s era ads in order to escape the modern era times
@@DaDandyman reality tv is popular as ever. teen mom, Vander, made in Chelsea, pretty wild....I was born in 99 and watch all kinds of reality tv on Netflix expept Kardashian and bachelor more for girl
They were so good, people planned things around tv shows. I was in a club that never did anything on Thursday nights because of The Cosby Show, Cheers, etc.
I have a lump in my throat watching these. The 80s was the best time I've ever had. I was in Junior High and High School and I crave to go back to that time.
I haven’t seen many of these commercials and I’m over 60. I wondered why and then remembered that it was in the 1980’s when the VCR came out and we started fast forwarding through ads.
I would give anything to be able to go back to the 80s 80s with so much nicer the early 80s I had all of my family such a nice time simple less complicated
the commercials were much longer and very descriptive. I'm so glad I graduated in 1980 and got to enjoy every single bit of it. So much fun. People were much happier. No cell phones. The Economy was great. Good times.
idk donna, people were doing tons of cocaine, lots of overdose, aids, cold war remember that one? lmao only reason u think people were happier is because u were young and u didnt know better
@@esquistofrenico2367 cold war was technically peaceful...just some were a tad hysterical. aids wasn't as big a deal as covid and cocaine had less deaths than fentanyl
@@romanbennifir6020 well thats what a cold war is though is cold lol but u guys still had worries of randomly getting bombed, and if aids wasnt a big deal why did many get shamed for it? why did gay people get persecuted for it too? hmm it might not been a big deal to u but it was to many, and also the same could be said for covid, for many is not a big deal and they are still carrying out with their normal lives, and with cocaine is not even about the deaths but about how it affected a whole generation and countries, do u forget about all the north and south america countries that trade cocaine? i mean like i said, u were probably a kid, so to u it wasnt a big deal, and everything was sunshine and roses

I was born in 1977 so I remember a little more than half of these commercials at least. The 80's remind me of more simpler happy times in my life. Nice to take a trip down memory lane watching these commercials!
I’m from 92 but I was raised on 70s and 80s nostalgia. Parents are from 67-69. I feel like I love this stuff at least almost as much as people who were there. I just want to pray that people stay safe and take care of themselves. Be good to your families. If you are watching you are blessed.
Thank you for that!
Very nice thank you. You too!
I grew up loving commercials my whole life. They don't make them like that anymore. I miss them!!!❤❤❤❤
Oh my GOD I watched so much TV during these years, watching this was an absolute time machine. The commercials is when I would let my mind wander… so many memories came back from watching these.
I remember seeing these on TV. Never occurred to me that I'd actually get old
I think it's kinda ironic that we're all here watching 80's commercials to "go back in time" and there's an ad for a freaking delorean.
these are so relaxing, not like today where everything makes you on edge
Your the only one

Where are the class action lawsuit commercials? Where are the medicine commercials? Oh that’s right, it’s the 80’s!
right, all you see to day are insurance, medicare /medicade , exercise equipment commercials ,drug commercials. you the know the world is going in the wrong direction when even the commercials were better back then .
@@mikekrause3671 not true
The Italian Hamburger Helper commercial with the Helping Hand sporting a mustache, speaking and singing with an Italian accent would now result in million dollar lawsuits and widespread butthurt!
@@lmckrosen123 Yes, you've accurately described what's wrong with our world now!
@@mikekrause3671 Totally agree. My guess is that advertisers don't think anyone under age of 60 still watches tv on a tv.
The 'Kellogg's frosted mini wheats' commercial is so cute ❤🌞
Who remembers going to a restaurant & being asked, "smoking or non-smoking?"
And smoking on an airliner
Smoking seems like a weird thing to be nostalgic for truth be told. Like leaded gasoline or asbestos in your walls. I sure as hell don't plan on getting nostalgic about the microplastics filling my body right now.
@@Bundor Is it really uptight to find people getting nostalgic over things that used to kill them bizarre?
@@Bundor Preachy? I'm just saying smoking and leaded gas is bad. When did this become a controversial opinion?
@@kryonight2869Ever read the warning that comes with your cell phone? Dr. Robert O. Becker, now deceased, wrote some books about the dangers of cell phone towers, antennas, low level microwaves. Not high enough to heat tissue doesn't necessarily equal 'safe'. He thought it was the biggest and most dangerous experiment ever done on mankind as every cell in our body vibrates at low frequency.
Vincent Price as a polar bear selling wine coolers? That's the 80's for you 😂
It's weird I don't remember that brand of wine cooler but when they played the jingle it sounded familiar 😃
Sheila Blische I know! So funny! Wtf.
Yup when I think wine coolers I think polar beers, Vincent price and horror. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Love it!
seandelevan 😂😂
I loved everything about the 80's,even the commercials.
These old commericals starts to make me cry. I wasn't born in a 80s I'm 14
They just sometimes used the song that I heard in a long time. Thanks.
Well , start living now . Research the past and figure out how to colonize the moon . Just sayin . Can't let china beat us -
@Linux Hater... I feel that.
During the 60's, you had a lot of cigarette ads. The 70's and 80's were the best because the technology got way better but you didn't yet have all the duplication, ads between the quarter hour, the lawyer ads and prescription drugs every other minute.
The 80's is also when cable TV came along and in Los Angeles, we went from about 15 channels, to more than 60. PLUS MTV ACTUALLY PLAYED VIDEOS!
Life was simple back then .
There was no internet
There was no Facebook
There were no Cell Phones
People curled up in the lounge room at night to watch TV . There was nothing else to do back then .
Wish I could go back in time and relive the 80s . Totally hate the 2020,s
Now look at today... Watch War LIVE 😖
@@baronedipiemonte3990 Getting real time updates about wars isn't a particularly new part of the News it's existed since the Vietnam War.
I do like modern times better but there was definitely something magical about the 80s. It’s easier to travel the world now due to so much information…..However if you traveled to another country back in the 80s it felt more surprising and there was a bigger sense of mystery to it which in some ways enhanced the experience
I was born in 81 and all that I can say is that these were happy times… 😁
Inflation, Aids, coke... good times
These commercials are much classier than those of today.
That's exactly what I was JUST telling my wife. Most of the commercials today are risque, impudent or just plain nonsense.
3:56 Nowadays that would be called sexual attacks or even rape.
Rob Axl Unfortunately you are right and I’d be “guilty”.
I... wouldn't consider any commercial "classy", lol. The term "boob tube" was coined around this era, if that tells you anything.
@@robaxl3088 no that wouldn't be stfu boomer
Oh boy - what a wholesome escape from reality.
THANK YOU.
WHOLESOME? GOOD GOD?! how bout 14:04 haha
"And also oops and also fries" - I remember singing that McDonalds commercial in my head all the time!
Born 1980. We were born during the calm of the century. Right before free love which was also bad ass btw but very hectic and right before the 90s Era when things would start to change drastically. The 80s was so simple. Im proud to be an 80s baby.
Watching these commercials take me back to a time I wish to travel back to 🤩 Thanks for sharing.
OMG, this is amazing ... I'm right back home again.
Was born in Christmas of 86', even though I don't remember the era I totally feel connected to it and love it.
I was born in 96 and feel connected to the 90s... Hell, I think the 90s lasted until about 2006. People dressed the same, there were smoking sections in restaurants, we had VHS, NES, and listened to 80s and 90s music.
I was born in 1980 and still can feel the essence of the 70s as if I were there. It carries over. Good thing too.
I actually saw an oil of Olay empty container at my grandmothers house I asked why did she keep it and she said she kept it because it was a small piece of her best time in life while she was still some what young My grandmother is 52 I’m 13 btw and I honestly wish I was born in the 80’s it just seemed so fun and wholesome back then
I was born in the 70s, a child in the 80s, and I’m a big fan of BTS! I noticed your name and profile picture and just thought I’d comment. Yes, the 80s were wholesome and fun, and I miss them very much. But although we did have New Kids on the Block, we didn’t have BTS! I’d rather have BTS. 😁💜
It was amazing and better compared to now. I was born in 80 and I remember everything feeling so much safer and secure. People were nicer, the holidays were magical, and overall it just a wholesome time and place.
@@jameeware1707 Didn't the 80's have a lot of serial killers? I'm no expert on security but I don't think that's very secure
This comment just made me feel old. I’m born in the 80’s and just turned 38 yesterday. Happy almost grandfather to me. Lol!
I read this thinking you were going to say your grandmother was like 85. lol.
The Mercury Sable commercial had me belly laughing 😆
The 80s Pepsi Coca cola Wars. I was on the down low drinking RC cola 😂
I loved Tab!!
R.c. was great. My bf's mom always sent us to the store (located about a 2 minute walk from her house) to get a 2 liter of R.C. and it was just as good. Coke-- too strong and fizzy, I preferred Pepsi and R C is a good alternative.
Yeah ok! 😊
Take me back to the 80s!!
@n33dless yes
im coming w you
It’s funny how I will record shows so I can fast forward the commercials but then come on TH-cam to watch old commercials.
I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s but I watched so many of those commercials that this was recommended to me on TH-cam... and it was very enjoyable.
I remember some of them ads now that I’m 34 years old thanks for making me too remember them ads again
I would give anything to go back to the 80s. I remember so many of these commercials 😢
What I miss the most about 70s and 80s commercials even though I wasn't alive for most of them, are the ones where they all seem to like get together and sing in a choir. Like the Bank One one. There was a lot of jingle choir singing in that era and it was always catchy and sounded really good. Now everything's like Auto-Tune or terrible rock in ads.
I remember these, it definitely brings back memories
For a second, I started to look for the vertical and horizontal hold knobs on my phone... Roflmao!
That's for the live broadcast. If you're watching it on a recorded VHS you gotta get the tracking right.
VHF and UHF
When it switches to today's commercials and you hear a website, like wait, there wasn't internet back then
I miss being a kid in the 80s, going to Wildwood in the summer
The boardwalk!
"watch the tram car please" I used to wait all year for our wildwood vacation!! I remember being like 8 or 9 yrs old n thought I was the shit on the boardwalk wearing my fringed shirt with the iron on decal of a cat with a rose my colored bike shorts n my side ponytail with teased bangs😂 😂😂So fun!! I take my kids now..not quite the same but it's still a good time. Thanks for this comment!!
I was born in 1976. 4 years later I would get to live in the best decade ever. These commercials are a great example of that!. I remember quite a lot of them and it’s funny how much better they were than the ones on tv now.
I totally remember most of these and can sing along to the jingles. The world was so much simpler and better back then.
“Like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of our lives”
Never watched Days..... Was an ABC girl. Ryan's Hope straight thru to Edge of Night.
So-crates! Bill & Ted air guitar 🎸
The hiss in the background really sells it.
These brought back a lot of memories, but it was at 22:45 that I really got that "smack the side of your TV" nostalgia. Ah.
I'm getting that vibe too
Randomly I started to sing the Mrs. Smith pie commercial from 1986, so I decided to remince on my youth and search out 80's commercials. Thanks for the hour long video!
It’s remarkable how many ads Peter Thomas (Forensic Files) voiced over. May God rest his soul. Loved every minute of this.
Their was something so special about the 80's so glad I had my childhood in this decade
I was born January 1978 and if I could go back to the 80s, I would do everything in my power to stay.
I've watched other compilations, this one in particular is the best representation of the 80s.
I think soo too
@@Etta319 Plus it includes movies and tv shows titles, before or after commercials!!
I love that, feeling wonderfully nostalgic and missing the 80s 🥲 these videos have been a great time capsule!! ❤️
Enjoyed this.
Now, most commercials are either for medications, lawyers, or insurance. Lol
I was going to post about the medication commercials, but you beat me to it.😂
Yep you nailed it with that one
I've heard one of those lawsuit commercials start with, if you or a loved one has died from this product call us.
Hint, hint...
Can still possible in today's world to have this kind of vibe in every advertisement? Ugh classic commercials is so soothing😌
I wish I could go back. Just one last hooah. Even if for only a short while. I miss it so much.
George Costanza leading a flash mob to McDonalds is more than I could've hoped for wasting my time like this.
I wish I the power to travel through time.........saturday mornings with a big bowl of cereal playing some games or watching some cartoons...............
@@jasonblacke6016 Thanks! I think restoring our own childhood is the key to happiness because immortality does not exist! Take care!
Me too! I remember watching The Smurfs on Saturday morning. My sisters and I would wake up super early to watch it. I LOVED those days. I really miss the 80's. Wish I could go back...at least for a little while.
Playing with my Lego sets in the living room while watching one of the best cartoons ever - Dungeons & Dragons! Ahh the early to mid 80s was the best time to be a kid!
Oh and I almost forgot my other favorite cartoon - The Littles! Dinky was my hero :)
@@Stormeyworld Take me with you !
Coming up as a kid in the 70s and part of the 80s were the best .
Yes it was we didn't truly realise how great we had it
This reminds me of the past, growing up, enjoying life. People smiled and were kind. Now days when I see people or speak to them it's like the lights are on but nobody is home or they just have an unnecessary attitude. We all know now that everything we see, hear and live in daily is so full of hatred and spite but we also know who is responsible. I had a conversation the other day about how bad things are as an American and that there is no escape, no where else to go. We are all stuck on this sinking ship with the ones that shot holes into the hull. I hope everyone watching these videos and reading the comments enjoys their memories because those are the things that no one can ever take away, Be at peace, my friends.
I'm finally here...
Nostalgia has me watching and loving commercials lmao
I wish there was a channel that showed some of those tv weeknight movies instead of some of these networks that only show the same thing over and over again
Pluto tv app
wow, as a 13 yr old who really never had a perspective of what happened on the 80s, this is pretty good.
You know whats funny? Im skipping youtube adds to watch the 80s adds i would have chosen to skip back in the 80s. 😐
Right... Lol they got us still
I was thinking the exact same thing as I pressed "skip commercial" lol
I hate it when a modern era ad shows up when I'm enjoying nostalgia like this.. It's like the 21st century is trying to intrude when I'm watching the 1980s era ads in order to escape the modern era times
Wow these take me back! Loved the Days of Our Lives intro! Started watching it in the 70's with my Mom.
Extra dose of nostalgia for a Cleveland native - all those local news anchors. 😊
Oh my goodness!!!! The memories come flooding back!!! 🥺
I miss good TV lineups. Today is so full of stupid reality TV and politics
Yes i agree we use to have Tv Line ups MONDAY Thru SUNDAYS
Nobody who was born after 1995 watches reality TV, dude.
I agree!!! These commercials are so much happier!!!
@@DaDandyman reality tv is popular as ever. teen mom, Vander, made in Chelsea, pretty wild....I was born in 99 and watch all kinds of reality tv on Netflix expept Kardashian and bachelor more for girl
They were so good, people planned things around tv shows. I was in a club that never did anything on Thursday nights because of The Cosby Show, Cheers, etc.
The best seconds of this video was the local news teasers about the Cleveland Force highlights. What a great team!
I love that these are from Cleveland! Love seeing all the old TV stations from here!
I have a lump in my throat watching these. The 80s was the best time I've ever had. I was in Junior High and High School and I crave to go back to that time.
To be honest I think these commercials were better than the ones we have now
You think ?
Oh definitely
sure toothpaste to hide your smoking addiction and racial stereotypes
They were
Tv was way bigger back then. People can skip ads now after five seconds so companies don’t bother making them very intricate.
I haven’t seen many of these commercials and I’m over 60. I wondered why and then remembered that it was in the 1980’s when the VCR came out and we started fast forwarding through ads.
I would give anything to be able to go back to the 80s 80s with so much nicer the early 80s I had all of my family such a nice time simple less complicated
nothing is better than watching commercials...while watching commercials...
the commercials were much longer and very descriptive. I'm so glad I graduated in 1980 and got to enjoy every single bit of it. So much fun. People were much happier. No cell phones. The Economy was great. Good times.
idk donna, people were doing tons of cocaine, lots of overdose, aids, cold war remember that one? lmao only reason u think people were happier is because u were young and u didnt know better
sure toothpaste to hide your smoking addiction and racial stereotypes
@@esquistofrenico2367 cold war was technically peaceful...just some were a tad hysterical. aids wasn't as big a deal as covid and cocaine had less deaths than fentanyl
@@romanbennifir6020 well thats what a cold war is though is cold lol but u guys still had worries of randomly getting bombed, and if aids wasnt a big deal why did many get shamed for it? why did gay people get persecuted for it too? hmm it might not been a big deal to u but it was to many, and also the same could be said for covid, for many is not a big deal and they are still carrying out with their normal lives, and with cocaine is not even about the deaths but about how it affected a whole generation and countries, do u forget about all the north and south america countries that trade cocaine? i mean like i said, u were probably a kid, so to u it wasnt a big deal, and everything was sunshine and roses
