[@nemesisut8793]

@@DANNY10MADRID precisely

[@DANNY10MADRID]

@HUB GOBLIN I have always told people. The simple fact we awe about the 90s for having better shows, movies, etc, because today people just dont pay as much attention, and appreciate tv like we did in the 90s, because we had no other choice. It's kind of like wrestling. The mid 90s was argubaly the worst time for the WWF with horrible gimmicks, and story lines which were pretty cringey, but still got over because people had no choice to watch and enjoy and not complain unlike today we have so much to pick from, hence why because no one cares about tv, and only stream content, or youtube, social media etc. Imagine being introvert in the 80s, or 90s.. it would be hell without the internet to express your self compared to today being so so easy.

[@jenniferr9624]

Yes

[@brandonhilton5773]

I was trying to figure out who she was. Thank you Alex

[@mitchg7809]

Yeah it was. Strange because she was at the peak of her career. Unlike the movie stars of today celebrities of the 1980’s rarely endorsed products in the U.S. I wonder if it was for a foreign market. Commercials using mainstream American stars were pretty common practice in Asia at the time.

[@whenfatkillsfat803]

Michael J Fox and Joe Piscopo were doing Pepsi and Bud Light commercials at the height of their careers back then as well. You could say, Rosanna was more well known for being a muse. Just ask Toto and Peter Gabriel.

[@TMoody]

1988 might have been that last of the greatest years ever.

[@deniseherud]

I don’t remember nick at night bc I was buried under a mountain of books and schoolwork.🤦🏼‍♀️ 😂 Honestly would still prefer that over staring at computer screens.

[@csarock1csarock187]

I was loving the Def leppard Hysteria album, and Appetite for destruction by GNR. 80s music was the best.

I wish Mars had never renamed the American Mars bar to Snickers Almond. Snickers Almond is one of my favorite candy bars, but I don't see why changing the recipe (as they did) required them to also change the name. Why couldn't they have just called it a "new and improved" Mars bar? (In any case, Mars is rather notorious for regularly renaming their candy bars). I was still just a kid when Mars bars were discontinued and by the time I was old enough to care and search them out, they were nowhere to be seen. If only I'd been born just a few years earlier...

The 80s were so much better an era then the the sh!tshow we have now-- the Millennials and Gen Z have no idea how great it was they missed out on. Have to laugh that their best _"OK Boomer."_ is such a pathetic comeback, from where we come from they'd be beat, we thrived on comebacks and beatdowns.
