Does Lemmy skew old enough for this one?
lemmefixdat4u, It takes a lot fewer licks now than when this commercial came out (shrinkflation).
Underwaterbob, I miss Saturday morning cartoons. Sure, looking back, a lot of those cartoons sucked, (quality is on average much higher these days) but it was more about the ritual and the expectation. Saturday morning TV was for me.
Peppycito, I’ve got a hankerin’ for a hunk of cheese!
somethingp, Yeah most of those used to be shit but it was like a ritual every weekend. Are Saturday morning cartoons not a thing anymore?
Jomega, They got replaced by 24 hour dedicated children’s channels, which in turn got replaced by streaming.
somethingp, I’m not that old! I had Nickelodeon and Disney Channel and Cartoon Network, but there were still Saturday morning cartoons on WB and PBS. The Saturday morning cartoons weren’t as good as the others but it was still something special about the mornings.
m0darn, As a parent of young children I’ve learned that Saturday morning cartoons are actually for my wife and I to have a moment to ourselves.
Gestrid, (edited ) Mister Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
I was a kid when I first saw that commercial, and it was already old by then.
hexabs, Idk about old, but lemmy does skew American enough for me to mot understand this.
cashews_best_nut, The damn Septics are everywhere. Like a meaty fart that clings in the air.
I_Fart_Glitter, This commercial aired during the Superbowl in 2006, which was like… 5 years ago… right…?
Beelzebob, I remember the 06 Superb Owl game! The Great Horns vs The Screeches! What a wonderful time! But the commercial has been around since 69.
AngryCommieKender, (edited ) The original commercial aired in 1968
