I’m That Old.
You have to check out the television commercials from 1950 that I found at The Ultimate Insult. While I may be that old and while we did have a television back then (with a ten inch screen), I don’t remember these particular commercials (I hadn’t even started school). I do, however, remember ones that were just like them. My, how things have changed.
The first two or three should be of particular interest to Eric.
Damn, I really am that farookin’ old.
… “sit back and enjoy a Camel”.. I wonder how many of those Doctors are still kicking around?… probably not many, but I sure enjoy those lungbusters…

Wow. My folks have that clock on the mantel in the Camel ad from “Your Show of Shows”.

The way I see it, one’s young only once, but can remain immature forever, and so I do.

De-lurking to say…Wow…what a time trip. I watched the first couple minutes of this and couldn’t take any more!

We had toasters and flush toilets too.

No wonder everybody smoked back then when even the doctors were pitching cigarettes. Wild stuff.
