Business Cat

It's time for business.
But is it business time?

Pride

Interesting ad.
Wonder how many people were pissed about it.

Big Red Button

I swear Ren and Stimpy did something about a large red button and would one of them push it.
I believe they did.
And hilarity ensued.
Regardless I'm a natural born button pusher so I'd push it.

Newcastle

Once in Vegas my friend Lizzy brought a 24 pack of Newcastle in case we wanted to drink in the room when we ran out of money. While taking the elevator up an old man said he couldn't remember the last time he had a Newcastle.
She gave him one.
Later she ran into him again and he thanked her because he had forgotten how good it was.
Being the Beer Fairy is awesome

Dianetics

I remember seeing this on TV and then at Waldenbooks.
Unfortunately this was the 80s (or early 90s) and none of my family knew what it was.
Also didn't want to pay for me to have it.

Pure Moods

Al found a copy of this at Bolsa Chica some summer around '96 or so.
He gave it to me and it barely worked but I still listened to it.
When Napster reigned I downloaded most of these songs and still enjoy them but I don't feel too big into the New Age scene.

Kiwiburger

I remember reading about the kiwiburger in Carl Shuker's Lazy Boys.
Vaguely I think it had to do with how square the protagonist's parents were.
Not really sure what it was I did a search and found out, intrigue I've made some poor substitute but am curious about it.
Also because of that book I started calling a store that sold mainly beer and wine a "bottle store".

Good book; check it out.

Bus Ad

Placement of Ads is difficult.
A near science perhaps.
Especially when your bus becomes an elephant out for blood.

Soviet Car Ads

Go ahead make a "In Soviet Russia Joke".
I would if I was any good at jokes.

Compare these ads to American Car ads from the same era and it's apparent that Soviet Ad companies didn't bring sexy to the People's Revolution.
