Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Who misses the McDLT? Ah, for those long lost days of oversized styrofoam packaging. Fortunately, I can relieve the glory days with this fantastic Jason Alexander commercial.
Cruising YouTube is a good way to pass a few minutes (or hours) when you have nothing better to do or simply can't be bothered to get on with your work. You can discover all kinds of interesting video clips - such as commercials from the 1980s. Granted, the commercials were irritating when they first aired, but they have a certain amount of appeal now. It's hard to say whether it's the fact that most of them have jingles/music or that they're simply hilarious. Here are a few more favorites, all worth reliving:
Pringles decided to use technology, and some stereotypical geeks to sell their product. Too bad they also decided to use "deep fried taste" as a selling point.
I love Max Headroom... even if I didn't love the New Coke.
Tollhouse morsels had the Worst. Jingle. Ever.
This terrifying old lady asks "Where's the beef" in this Wendy's commercial, but I'm still asking why on earth they thought she would sell burgers.
Tootsie Pop's "How many licks" ads were classic - and more people tried to count than are willing to admit to it.

Right to this day that's the way I always liked a hamburger (nowadays with secret sauce and sometimes bleu cheese--like Father's Office pub of Santa Monica CA). Yep, I don't miss the oversized styofoam, though I liked the classic McDonald's design. Gotta remember my teenage years (yes I was a teen during the 80's).

Unique and showcased her talent.
