Who Remembers…Seven Vintage Commercials?!

5. Ch-ch-ch-Chia!

Has ANYONE ever successfully grown a Chia Pet? Or how about Sea Monkeys? I’ve never met anyone who has successfully grown either. For some reason it became a popular Christmas present. I failed so miserably at growing them, that when I got one for Christmas, I just put it on a shelf in the closet unopened. A fully grown Chia Pet is a white whale IMO.

I wouldn’t have it any other way.

6. Carvel’s Fudgie the Whale!

Speaking of whales – how about Fudgie?! Memory doesn’t serve me the best, but if I recall correctly, there were Carvel stores. I used to love ice cream cake and still do! Carvel has become synonymous with ice cream cake. It’s like saying Band-Aid instead of bandage, or if you are down south a waitress can ask “What kind of Coke do you want?” and yo can reply with “Sprite.” One say “What kind of cake do you want?” and reply with “Carvel.” You just bring home an ice cream cake of any brand.

7. I Don’t Want To Grow Up!

Going to Toys ‘R Us was really no different than Christmas Day. Regardless, of the time of year, a visit to Toys ‘R Us felt like a holiday. You knew you were going to get something “rad”! The jingle to this commercial has to be one of the catchiest ever written.
