minus-squarePalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up87·2 days agoThe only reason people think it’s fancy is because of some dumb commercials made in the 80s.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up40·edit-22 days agoThose weren’t from the '90s? Am I so old that I’m now conflating these decades?
minus-squarePissingIntoTheWind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 hours agoThey were in both decades. And well into the 00’s.
minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 day agoThey continued into the '90s, but they started in the '80s. The whole two rich people riching at each other is a very '80s esthetic.
minus-squaredejected_warp_core@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up29·2 days agoYes, and I’m sorry. I’m also right there with you. Also, don’t forget to take your medication this evening.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 days agoJoke’s on you, my wife is the one with fourteen prescriptions
minus-squareWhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up19·2 days agoThey were referenced in Wayne’s World in 1992 and I’m guessing that they were at least a couple of years old by then.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·2 days agoYup, 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
minus-squareprole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 days agoThey existed in the 90s too. They really milked that shit
minus-squarevaultdweller013@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 days agoAlso some ad campaigns just lasted forever hell some just updated the commercials on occasion. You can now hear the Empire Carpet jingle.
minus-squareprole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoI’m pretty sure they revived the ad campaign in the 90s
minus-squarefox2263@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoI always remember it from Biker Mice from Mars. And I’m not American 🤣
minus-squareChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoSame reason people think “Corinthian leather” is fancy – when there’s actually no such thing as Corinthian leather.
minus-squareBarbecue Cowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·2 days agoExcuse me, those commercials from the 80s are a very important piece of early millennial culture.
