    "Hanker for a Hunk o' Cheese"

    Oh my gosh, I had totally forgotten that one! And yet I could sing along as I was watching it.

    The old late 1970’s early 1980’s Christmas commercials with Ronald McDonald ice-skating and he sees a little girl with a sad face, and he grabs her hand to take her ice-skating… what a big smile she had…

    It was a little boy. I went to elementary school with him. His name was Dusty. He thought he was hot *kitten* because he had been in a national commercial. I wish I could tell him you mistook him for a girl now HAHA:devil:

    This!
    I can still picture that commercial and the kid yelling at his dad.

    Oh, the camp one is going to bother me. Wasn't it something like "Hi mother, hi father...."

    Where's the beef?

    I can't think of it, still. But you're close! I think it was "Hello Mother, Hello Father, Greetings from Camp Hiawatha" something's "fun here..."
    Oh crap. That's all I got.

    I miss Dunkin Donuts....they're no longer on the West Coast :sad:

    Really? Dunkin Donuts are huge here on the eastern half of the US. They just keep building more and the ones around me are super busy when I drive by in the mornings.

    LOL. I have had this tune stuck in my head since I started looking into a family vacation to seaworld. (I grew up in Buffalo, NY).

    "In Niagra Falls, Ontario, Marine land is the place to go. Seeing friends you miss a great big kiss..." That's all I pretty much remember being it was from 20 years ago...I wonder if they have changed that?


    Ok, so I found the commercial and apparently I remember the begining and the end of the jingle. :o)

    Hmm. I always thought it was a girl too :)

    K. So the quote didn't go, but I thought the Ronald McDonald/ice skating was a girl

    HAHA.. I knew you had to be from NC when I read that.

    They still run the same Cadbury Egg commericals from 25 - 30 years ago. Every time the one kid says "Thanks Easter Bunny!!" I have to respond with "Bock Bock" with the kid dressed as a chicken.

    The Snickers one where the guy paints CHEFS on the football field. "Great Googly Moogly"

    There's another commercial from when I was a kid and I still remember every single word...except for the catalog name that's it for!
    woman 1: "I'm having an affair"
    woman 2: "Affair?"
    woman 1: "Temptation, Frustration. Why I vow I'll never shop again"
    woman 2: "Never again?"
    woman 1: "Well, not without my <catalog name>"

    There are two that I can remember.
    The first is from a place called "Taco Viva". It might have only been a local taco shack.
    Anyway, it is this guy crawling in the desert and he crawls up to "Clint Eastwood" (think the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly).
    Anyway, the guy croaks out "Taco, taco").
    Clint looks at him and says
    "When you say taco, say viva"
    The guy says "Taco viva?"
    POOF
    They are sudenly transported to the resturant. The guy is eating tacos, burritos, drinking coke and stuff.
    He looks at Clint and states.
    "This is the best taco I've ever..."
    POOF
    Back in the desert.
    Clint looks at him and says
    "You didn't say viva"
    UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I just said that whole thing from memory and then I just found this:
    http://www.tacoviva.com/TheAds.html
    Look at the first one.

    My second blast from the past is from 1990 and it is for the Nissan 300ZX.
    It stars Barbie and G.I. Joe with Van Halen providing the music.
