I remember a few of these commercials, I was 4 in 1988 but I’ve been even more interested in these since my mom died earlier this year from breast and brain cancer. It really makes me wish I could go back if not for any reason other than to spend the 80’s and early 90’s with her again

Tv will never be so innocent and family oriented ever again. It makes me want to cry because my children will never get to experience it.

[@mywifesboyfriend5741]

That is VERY true.

It wasn’t family oriented all the time back then. See Dynasty, Dallas, ect.

[@bec7080]

@@CamaroAmx yeah all those wholesome fat jokes like the beer commercials, don't we miss those? These random men stopping to look at these women's legs. There's still "family friendly TV shows" out there but parents dont want to be responsible for what their kids watch since there's so much available so they just throw up their hands and let kids watch whatever. I mean, Beavis and Butthead were on at this time and it wasn't for kids. People just want to pretend like it was better in the past.

It always bothered me that the cheese didn’t melt. Either that means the patties aren’t hot or there’s something wrong with unmeltable cheese.

[@CamaroAmx]

Most of the time the buns were cooked hours ago and put in a warming pan. The burgers were cooked to order (in batches with a little extra) and then the sandwich was made fast enough that by the time you got it, the cheese hadn’t been on there long enough to melt. When I worked at Burger King in the late 90s, I could make a whopper in 10 seconds (from receiving the order to it being wrapped and in the shoot). Not a microwave in sight too (unlike McDonald’s).

Watching these silly commercials gives me this weird sense of comfort. I totally watched these as a little kid. Things were SO different then. The music was mostly terrible, but things weren't so ugly, gloom ridden, devoid of emotion and plastic. What on EARTH happened? How could things have decayed so rapidly? How depressing.

[@mywifesboyfriend5741]

Simple answer? Liberals and money.

[@CamaroAmx]

The music was good. At home with my dad I got to listen to southern rock. When I visited my mother it was all the current pop (which explains why I kinda like Madonna, Tiffany, markita, Paul Abdul, Debbie Gibson and the like). In my room (and on my Walkman) I listened to early 60s rock and roll and hair metal. I owned poison’s first album, bought GNR appetite for destruction when it came out. When I was with my grandparents, it was all country (and not the crap they call country today). Gave me a very diverse musical taste. Still can’t stand rap though (remember when rap was novelty music in line with Pac-Man fever and do the Bart man).

@@CamaroAmx 80's music is not universally liked. I was born on the late 70's and my favorite music is from the 90's, not the 80's.
