Those commercial jingles above reminded me of Demolition Man, where the jingles were the song hits. And the greatest place to eat was Taco Bell. Not that the movie is so old. Early 90s, I believe.

Well you couldn't actually eat anywhere but Taco Bell since all restaurants were Taco Bell. "Do you see many cows around here?" "Si es rata."

Yeah, I think I'd try rat as long as I knew it was country rat and not city rat. One wouldn't want a dirty rat, would one?

Anybody remember The Million Dollar Movie? It was a show at nighttime that played the same movie every night of the week. I think maybe it played the same movie twice a night but don't remember for sure.

You've been around a while if you used one of these. I still have mine, plus a bunch of reels including, "Cisco Kid," "Little Black Sambo," Hoppalong Cassidy."

My grandparents had one similar to this that all the grandkids were allowed to play with. I'd love to know what happened to it. It may still be in the attic. Hmmm.

How about one of these? The Apple Macintosh. Mine had a whopping 512 Kbytes of memory, AKA "the fat Mac." Still have it sitting around in one of the closets. Will have to look for it soon. Wonder if it's worth anything? lol

Flexible Flyer. A neighbor kid road one of these down a storm drain for a distance of about 3 blocks. The storm drain was about 4 feet in diameter and since it was round, allowed banked cornering in "high speed" turns during the downhill run. Heh!

I remember when these godsend cartridges came out.
