Those weren't from the '90s? Am I so old that I'm now conflating these decades?

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 31 points 5 days ago

Yes, and I'm sorry. I'm also right there with you.

Also, don't forget to take your medication this evening.

Joke's on you, my wife is the one with fourteen prescriptions

They were referenced in Wayne's World in 1992 and I'm guessing that they were at least a couple of years old by then.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago

Yup, you're right. I was actually pulling up to people in traffic and asking them this in '92. Because I thought it was hilarious.

It still is, but it used to be, too

They existed in the 90s too. They really milked that shit

Also some ad campaigns just lasted forever hell some just updated the commercials on occasion. You can now hear the Empire Carpet jingle.

I'm pretty sure they revived the ad campaign in the 90s

I always remember it from Biker Mice from Mars. And I’m not American 🤣

They continued into the '90s, but they started in the '80s. The whole two rich people riching at each other is a very '80s esthetic.
