Poorly Aged 90s Commercials 

😱 " Ouch " 😂 👍

That's a pretty big spread. Followed by more spreading 😮

Subway - "Putting old meat in fresh new buns since 1965."

They only claim it's 12 inches... they always gip you.

It’s a little more than that, the book they are advertising is the basis for Scientology’s Belief system.

It's been a decoration on our shelf for decades now! My dad got it and others at a work auction (undeliverable stuff from the post office). Should I finally read it? There's another one on Reiki too, whatever that is.

@@ettchaReiki is a Japanese energy healing system.

And he was a famous science fiction writer before that

@@garbageday587 I like to think that in the current internet age, someone moving from science-fiction to religion would be met with more scrutiny, but then i remember how easily people are still falling into bizarre ideological bubbles.

round up was the main ingredient in agent orange that was used in the Vietnam war that also scared us soldiers for generations as it is passed down to children.

Ita a Super Sozed Ourselves

Those commercials for Dianetics were on every commercial break. When? During Saturday morning cartoons! They were trying to recruit the young.

These types of seats caused deaths because people that reached over the back seat could be flipped over and become lodged/stuck if the seat mechanism activated. One mother spoke about her depression after her 16 year old son died from a seat accident like this (although I think her son died in a Honda Odyssey, but it used the same paten for the seat mechanism as a freestar).

It didn’t help that the celebrity voice over at the end is a subliminal sales tactic. Kate Mulgrew from ST Voyager was seen as a pioneer for women. While the guy in the commercial is being condescending to the feeble female.

Not only that, the super size option

That mini Big Mac is amazing

We it’s nice to know that wasn’t just my interpretation of the creepiness

@hellbillyjr Yes there was a young teen/tween boy who went to get something out of the back of the family van. When the seat collapsed on him he suffocated before anyone found him.

@@AirstripOne-nd4du The one I'm remembering could be a different van.

The Snickers one I think is actually a good one. At a time when concussions were ignored in athletes, the coach pulls him from the game.

Don’t feel bad. Stupid is as Stupid does.

believe me, those of us who saw these commercials as kids or teens thought the same thing 🤣

This may be an urban legend, but I heard that L. Ron Hubbard and Robert Heinlein had a bet over who could create a cult first. Heinlein wrote Stranger in a Strange Land and Hubbard wrote Dianetics. I'm sure the people harmed by the Church of Scientology wish that Heinlein had won. A little nudity, free love, communism, and ritualistic cannibalism seems a lot more pleasant than: - The "Fair Game" policy of private investigations, character assassinations, and legal actions taken against critics. - "Operation Snow White" where Scientology operatives committed infiltration, wiretapping, and theft of documents from the IRS and other government offices. - Fraud, manslaughter and tempering with evidence in France. - Malicious libel and espionage in Canada. - Forging bomb threats with the fingerprints of a critic. - Suspicious deaths - Sea Org, with its RPF work camps.

Really. How could it be in “poor taste” if nothing happened yet.

Obviously! These are adverts that were made in the 1990s and are now deemed inappropriate and/or distasteful. Smh.

Same in the U.S.A

Ratheon gave people cancer, Enron the banking Chriss of 2008.

Idk Raytheon, but Enron basically scammed all of their investors and employees, and Haliberton was a huge construction company that had a lot of political members attached to it (mainly Dick Cheney) because they would magically always get the rebuilding contracts every time we were doing war stuff with the middle east. Blow it all up, Haliberton fixes it.

All three are notorious for various reasons. Halberton was the private firm the US used in Iraq and did a lot of shady things. They earned billions in that country and made government officials a lot of money via stocks. Raytheon makes military weapons and have made congressional officials extremely rich through the decades. The Enron scandal is one of the largest business scandals in US history and rocked the financial markets in 2000-2001.

You must be young.

I think the issue some now have with the ad is athletes promoting upscaling fast food to an insane amount of calories for such a small price.

Probably, but what was the big deal with the commercial?

Why would that matter? Does that mean Home Alone 2 is now a horrible movie?

the good ole days were stuff on the dollar menu was actually $1.

Yeah, this was weird.
