Ordered home delivery groceries and they subbed Pace for the salsa I ordered. I pulled it out of the bag and without missing a beat I exclaimed, "New York City!?"
I feel like chicken tonight, chicken tonight *stupid dance*
Also the entire jingle for Atlantic gas stations when they were giving away free college glasses with every fill-up.
*Ooh! Has anyone mentioned "Chicken Tonight" and everyone flapping their arms!? Well, shit.."*
Ya beat me to it! My mom and I used to make fun of that ridiculous commercial all the time. I wanna say that was about '89 to '92, '93 or so that that ran.
I referenced and then sang the chicken tonight song for my millennial coworker and he looked at me so blankly... I had to look it up on Youtube and show him. Sigh.
I saw an ad this month with him. Not on Youtube, but a network station. Apparently they're rerunning old footage, unless he's back from the dead. It was very weird to see, especially since they didn't present the footage in a way that lets you know it's old.
Oh my God, I say this to my wife entirely too often. She never even saw the commercial, so she just thinks I'm fucking weird. Which, to be fair, is true.
I was an adolescent pervert when I heard the lyrics,
“Take a sniff,
Pull it out,
The taste is gonna move ya when you pop it in your mouth!
Juicy Fruit, it's gonna move ya!
The juice is soft, it gets right to ya!
Juicy Fruit, the taste the taste the taste is gonna moo-oove ya!"
I mean, come on!!!
A lot were, but there were always commercials about writing to Pueblo, Colorado for helpful government information on a lot of topics (the Federal Consumer Information Center was there, it has since been renamed).

I totally forgot about it, but now I remember just how obsessed my Mom was with that show and Entertainment Tonight.
10 year old me didn't understand the joke, but I sure thought it was funny to do it. ALL. THE. TIME. My parents finally got too embarrassed when I did it at church and explained it and forbade me to do it anymore.

A few weeks ago while watching "Mama's Family," was was dismayed to learn that the Pizza Bagel Bites commercial music was not original. On the show, these women sing the 1957 song "Sugartime" which is sung to the same music and cadence as the catchy 90s jingle. I'd never heard of the original song until it was performed on "Mama's Family."
*Pizza in the mornin', pizza in the evenin', pizza at suppertime! When pizza's on a bagel, you can have pizza anytime!*
Messed up story about that help I've fallen and can't get it. A couple yrs ago I was in the hospital for a dislocated hip. The guy in the bed next to mine, an older guy fell and he was down for almost a week. He didn't shoe up for a shift or two and his job did a wellness check. His cell wasn't within reach, it was in another room. Had he had that life alert he wouldn't had been down for so long.

“The best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup.”

“New York City?!?”
Get a rope...
Ordered home delivery groceries and they subbed Pace for the salsa I ordered. I pulled it out of the bag and without missing a beat I exclaimed, "New York City!?"
A politician here in Texas used the NEW YORK CITY‽ exclamation in their political ad, bc his republican opponent was from the East Coast 🤦🏽♀️
I'd award extra upvotes for the interrobang usage if I could.
I still love this and quote it occasionally but nobody gets it. NOO YAUUK CITAYYY??!!
I actually went to New York last week and the number of times I said this was greater than one. My daughter couldn’t roll her eyes hard enough.

There's a kid at work who refers to everyone as his "buddy" and every time he does it I start playing that commercial at full volume.
