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.

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
