I wish I can go back to 1979!

[@Lovejazz01]

I was fresh out of high school(Class of ‘79!) starting college and working…

[@impalaman9707]

The designer jeans craze of the late 70/early 80s was really starting to take off!

[@Jonsey-lm5sv]

I had forgotten how much damn singing was in commercials then….it was ubiquitous. Now it seems really weird. Those jingles have stayed in my head for over 40 years so I guess they were effective.

[@justaskmike4602]

Schmidts, to taste it is to love it…😂

[@michaelpaul5801]

Not to be mistaken for Schlitz!

[@MustangMach1696.0]

Thanks for the post my friend 🧡.

[@chrisbrown8748]

I was born two months after these commercials aired

[@Lovejazz01]

always loved Heath bars, they are smaller than most candy bars because they are so rich …

[@allegrarivera5383]

I wasn’t even alive yet lol.

[@robertwhite9898]

I was 11 yrs old at that time

[@Freepeter-ui2vf]

Wow! What memories! Nice to see Bruce Jenner when he was Bruce Jenner!

[@iscariot666]

Weirdo now, weirdo then.

[@LivLaRaj]

question: this is a repeat of the SNL season 4 premiere with the Rolling Stones. what sketch preceded the Gilda Radner bumper at 19:48? (I have a feeling it wasn't "Network Battle of the Ts and As" from the original live broadcast Oct 7 1978...) (Thanks in advance)

[@fromthesidelines]
