Epic Win: Meow Mix Commercial

May. 5, 2009

Submitted by Real N

“Meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meowwwwww…”

The Meow Mix song was so engrained in our cultural lexicon throughout the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, that when Austin Powers came out in 1997, Dr. Evil’s version of the song quickly became an over-used, obnoxious catchphrase repeated everywhere.

Epic Win: JELL-O Pops

Apr. 24, 2009

In stark contrast to today’s children’s snack food commercials, these seem so naive and innocent. They present the Jell-O pudding pops as something appetizing and delicious for children, while also appealing to parents with their healthy calorie claims. Today’s brands wouldn’t dare announce their calorie count on television or they would have to dress it up with clever marketing by using the per serving claims (and then announce that a serving is only 1/4 of the Popsicle).
To top it all off, they have Bill Cosby, who’s pudding pop commercials were epic and impressions of them and of Cosby have become part of our pop culture lexicon.

Epic sugar high is more like it. This was the first truly sugar-filled cereal, with chocolate cereal goodness mixed in with marshmallows. A bowl of this and it was off to the races!

Epic Win: Big Red Gum

Mar. 30, 2009

Submitted by Susan O

“No little Cinnamon gum freshens breathe longer than Big Red. So kiss a little longer…”

Big Red was one of the only gums of the 80’s and 90’s with flavor that actually lasted for a decent amount of time. We remember not liking Big Red as kids because it was too spicy. The cinnamon flavor was just too intense for our sensitive little tongues.

Remember this commercial? With the kid from Christmas Story as a band geek making out with some girl on the street corner? Yeah, that’d never happen…

Epic Win: I Hanker For A Hunk-a Cheese

Mar. 26, 2009

Submitted by Johnny’s Girl

Did he say, “Something to chaw?” Doesn’t that mean chewing tobacco?

Now days, these old PSAs have been replaced by Bagel Bites commercials. No wonder kids these days are fat.
