Registrace 8. 08. 2017
This channel is a celebration of consumer goods. Here's what to expect:
- Food/drink reviews - A breakdown of what's new at grocery stores. Unlike other reviewers, our primary goal is to provide historical context for current products and assign each a "Gimmick Grade," evaluating their concept. Taste is also scored and when we cover multiple products/flavors at once, we rank them in a "Capsule Countdown." To date, we've covered nearly 2,000 items.
- 80s/90s commercials - An archive of over 800 hand-picked ads, each with its own thorough description. Presented with no watermarks or lead-in/lead-out screens, so sit back and enjoy without unpleasant distractions.
- Full-Length VHS Tapes & Features - Obscure recordings that range from employee training videos to strange product promotions to whatever else fits. These include the Crystal Pepsi employee training video and the "Milkcap Krazy" video about pogs.
Comment often and we might send a Christmas card to your house! Seriously.

During a buying trip in December, I picked up this sealed 1987 Max Headroom "Costume Poncho with Topper Mask." I've been anxiously anticipating the moment that I could break it out of the package and use it as a Halloween costume, so let's see how it looks!
The LOST McDonald's Halloween Pails of 1991 (SIX Buckets!)
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 2 lety
Of all the McDonald's Happy Meal toys ever made, one of the most popular and enduring lines has been their Halloween buckets. First introduced in 1985, Halloween Pails were a fixture for many folks' trick-or-treating runs, including mine. Then, in 1991, the Pails were abruptly replaced with "McBoo Bags"... but what if I told you there were SIX proposed designs that could have not just continued...

Newport Cigarette Ad Collection - Plus Brand History, Menthol Ban & Pregnant Model Controversy
zhlédnutí 2KPřed 2 lety
As an archivist and collector of advertising, one of my favorite brands has been Newport cigarettes. Their campy, lighthearted, soft-sell approach was always something I found to be hilarious. There's a bunch of interesting elements to the brand's history... from their logo being flipped into the most recognizable brand trademark in the world to controversy about using a pregnant model in an ad...
