LOL!!! I was ecstatic to receive a Mr. Microphone one Christmas morning. I can vividly picture that commercial with that pick-up line -- what a blast from the past :-)As far as commercials from thirty years ago, how about the ominous voice saying, "It takes a steady hand. . ." as you watched a game of "Operation" in progress.
I'm not sure if this was the catch-phrase, or not, but another line I remember is:"Thanks for the gumball, Mickey!"That was (naturally) from the commercial for the Mickey Mouse Gumball Machine.Hey, did the Snoopy Sno-Cone machine have a tagline?
I don't remember the Mickey Mouse line, and you'd think I'd know the Snoopy one because I prayed to the sno-cone machine gods (to no avail).I'm trying to see what I can remember without Googling, and now I can't get past, "YOU SANK MY BATTLESHIP!"
Oh god, I was referencing that Mr. Microphone line just this month! Strange how stuff so stupid can stick in your head and come up thirty years later.
Do you mean useless stuff like how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
