    And commercials. My wife and I were just talking the other day about shared commercials we saw growing up that kids today will never experience. “Ancient Chinese secret”, “Don’t squeeze the charmin”, the crying Native American, “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing”, “Where’s the beef?”, “My bologna has a first name”, “I’m stuck on Band-aid”, “Calgon take me away”, “Mikey likes it”, “Sometimes you feel like a nut”, Joe Isuzu, “Avoid the noid”, “York peppermint patty gives me the feeling…”, Stompers, Micro-machines, “Who wears short shorts?”, “You got your chocolate in my peanut butter” … and these are just the ones I remember. They have none of those shared experiences.

    I mean just making this list gave me such a wave of nostalgia.

      I understand nostalgia for commercials but every time I’ve watched anything with ads (streaming or live tv) it’s absolutely awful to watch now. Maybe it was because it was all I knew as a kid but I cannot stand ads breaking up shows anymore.

      I don’t watch much tv anymore anyway
