I love that too, you're definitely not the only one.

[@Idoljunky32]

Wow! Downyflake waffles! Haven't had those in at least 25 years! Here's to 300 more video's! I love this channel, great to relive flashbacks of my life thru this channel!

[@metalbornmetalbred]

R.I.P. Cheryl Betyar. She actually ended up going from Aerobics Instructor/Tylenol Spokesperson, to becoming the Real Estate agent that sold me my house.

[@ladycplum]

*Jaw drop* holy crap Gary Hart....I was still in the single digits when he ran and even I remember the whole scandal with him!

[@LenaAndreia]

Wow, nearly 300 already! Am I the only one who loves seeing old soda cans?

[@tinamarie86]

I always loved the original Pepsi can design

[@LenaAndreia]

Gnossienne No. 1. It's a beautiful piece.

[@Lurker1979]

Thanks.

[@skystarless]

I remember Downyflake waffles. My parents used to buy those instead of Eggo.

[@BORNaCAROLINAGIRL]

congrats on heading towards a great milestone!! here's to 300 more! my son loves this so much!!

[@darktetsuya]

perfect for 'Revenge of the 5th' day! :P great stuff

[@amusement420]

True. And did you know the Flinstones also advertised cigarettes. It's somewhere on youtube in Black & White.

[@mefault]

Downyflake Waffles....Hmmm...when I see that I think more of soap detergent...not breakfast, lol.

[@MrPlaydoh76]

@Tornado1994: It was Henry Corden who replaced him as Fred Flintstone's voice starting in 1977 (the same year Reed passed away, not 1972). Corden died in 2005 BTW.

[@cbecrad]

I have never heard of Downyflake Waffles! Eggo must have run them out of business. And I swear we had those same little glasses like the one the man's holding in the Diet Pepsi commercial. Had little palm trees on it.

[@tvmattkc]

In the context of the Flintstones, shouldn't it be "Tar Wars"?

[@celticthistle619]

Welp, Gary Hart was pretty spot-on about the politicians of the 80s. :/

[@ucarracer95]

no..i look for old drink bottles when i go to flea markets

[@amusement420]

Yes a true pioneer. Now it's par for the course. Donna Rice. An Internet quote: "his yacht was named "Monkey Business." Could Gary be more obvious?" Lol

[@elr8691]

Erik Satie - Gymnopedie No.3

[@amusement420]

They're pop cans Lol Well OK a compromise is Soda Pop cans heheh : )

[@SMAXZO]

OK..question...how does Fred get to watch Star Wars?

[@ladycplum]

Christ the age of "paint on" jeans...Lees, Gloria Vanderbilt, Chic (much rather see that one than the schmucks who wear their pants around their knees).....that and stirrup pants. You were not dolled up for a weekend unless you had stirrups, jellies, the biggest, blousiest shirt you could find, and an even bigger belt to cinch it all together.

[@Paganomation]

Fred and Wilma were "just kids" when they saw a movie that came out 7 years prior? Are we supposed to believe Fred Flintstone is in his 20s 🤔

[@Lurker1979]

What is the name of the peace of music playing in the background of the Alka Seltzer peace?

[@DanZero77]

Velveeta -- now with Pac Man! Downyflake waffles were AWFUL -- detergent/soap taste for sure as a previous poster mentioned.

[@_Majoras]

we luv legs :D

[@extrememoxie]

Irony before irony was "cool"?

[@blugreen123]

the day Velveeta is real cheese is the day I'll eat my hat "Downyflake" sounds like a laundry detergent, not a food AT&T- how whipped husbands stay in touch ww/ their wives ;)
